Ode to an Onion : Pablo Neruda & His Muse, Hardback Book

Ode to an Onion : Pablo Neruda & His Muse Hardback

Illustrated by Felicita Sala

Hardback

Description

A poetic, beautifully illustrated picture book inspired by Ode to the Onion by Chilean poet Pablo Neruda (1904–1973). Pablo has a lunch date with his friend Matilde, who shows the moody poet her garden.

Where Pablo sees conflict and sadness, Matilde sees love and hope.

The story is less a biography of Neruda and his muse, Matilde Urrutia (1912–1985), and more a simple ode to a vegetable that is humble and luminous, dark and light, gloomy and glad, full of grief and full of joy—just like life.A Junior Library Guild Selection
