The life and work of Pablo Neruda—Nobel Laureate, statesman, renowned poet—both reflect and embody the events that shaped the 20th century. Born in Chile, he fled as a political refugee in 1948, not to return until 1952. Through archival material, Neruda’s writings, and interviews with family, friends, and scholars, this program presents Neruda’s life and the times that molded it.
