Neruda's memoirs begin with his childhood spent in the south of Chile and retrace his student days in Santiago. He recalls his sojourn as Chilean consul in Burma, Ceylon and Java, and relives the Spanish Civil War and the murder of Garcia Lorca, an event that turned him into a communist and a poet.
