A cheaply produced volume and as such rather well-preserved. SIGNED by Neruda with a full-page inscription on the front free endpaper: "1965 A Westphallen un viejo libro con la amistad de toujours. Pablo Neruda." our translation: "1965 To Westphallen - an old book with everlasting friendship." Likely presented to someone with that surname possibly Peruvian artist Judith Westphalen different spelling is noted. Or the poet could be referring to the German region where he inscribed it. Though somewhat mysterious to us a question that might be cleared up by a Neruda scholar. We found no other signed copies of this important early work by Neruda first editions or reprints at the time of listing. This edition is also rather uncommon in commerce even unsigned.

1975réf. 6442Karl-Marx-Stadt / Berlin : publisher not identified 1975. Staplebound. Fine. Octavo 12pp. illustrated. About fine in the publisher's black printed stapled wraps with just trivial edgewear. With two related items laid in possibly as issued; and also a poster which measures about 22" x 32" 56cm x 81cm. The poster is very near fine with creases at the folds. A German-language pamphlet discussing the life of the recently deceased poet Pablo Neruda and his work " Splendor and Death of Joaquin Murietas." The pamphlet is SIGNED and INSCRIBED by someone the name is hard to read to "Matilde de Neruda" who is certainly Matilde Urrutia Neruda's widow. The pamphlet and related ephemera relate to a stage production held in East Germany within two years of Neruda's untimely death suspiciously soon after the coup in Chile which removed his hero Salvador Allende from power. There is very little in the way of bibliographical information in this pamphlet but we can be sure that the other examples we saw in commerce and in libraries were for West German productions. This East German example contains several attractive woodcut illustrations. The poster contains eight stylized vignettes from the Murietas story. Though focused on this one work the poster evokes Biblical historical and political imagery which were so common in Neruda's general oeuvre. A striking little group of items which elucidate the cultural relationship between the late radical poet and an influential communist government. [publisher not identified?] unknown
