He was in his late forties when he committed himself to writing an ode a week, and in the end he produced a total of 225, which are dispersed throughout his varied oeuvre. This bilingual volume, edited by Ilan Stavans, a distinguished translator and scholar of Latin American literature, gathers all Neruda's odes for the first time in any language. Rendered into English by an assortment of accomplished translators, including Philip Levine, Paul Muldoon, Mark Strand, and Margaret Sayers Peden, collectively they read like the personal diary of a man in search of meaning who sings to life itself, to our connections to one another, and to the place we have in nature and the cosmos. \u003ci\u003eAll the Odes\u003c\/i\u003e is also a lasting statement on the role of poetry as a lightning rod during tumultuous times.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Farrar, Straus and Giroux\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/18\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780374534929\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 896\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.33lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.10w x 1.70d","brand":"Pablo Neruda","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36636667674780,"sku":"9780374534929","price":32.3,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_60fd34de-c675-45de-be22-242d4959f5f0.jpg?v=1603842588","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/all-the-odes-a-bilingual-edition-9780374534929","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
