In this episode, we explore the life and work of Pablo Neruda, one of Latin America’s most influential writers. We trace his journey from his childhood in Chile to poetic fame, covering his solidarity with the Spanish Republic, his friendship with Salvador Allende, and his years in exile. We also examine the controversies surrounding his personal life and the 2023 forensic study that fueled suspicions of the Pinochet dictatorship’s involvement in his death.
