réf. 309433Santiago Chile: Editora Nacional Quimantú 1973. First trade edition. 210 4 pp. 12mo. Original wrappers printed in green purple and pink. Creasing to bottom edge of a few pages very good. In custom folding chemise and morocco backed slipcase. First trade edition. 210 4 pp. 12mo. Neruda's final book of verse inscribed in green ink to two renowned Chilean painters and fellow leftists: "Salud! a José Balmes y Gracia Barrios Pablo Neruda 1973 Isla Negra." An outstanding association copy of one of Neruda's most controversial works. A polemic on behalf of Salvador Allende's Unidad Popular party ahead of Congressional elections in March of 1973 "Incitement to Nixoncide and Praise for the Chilean Revolution" was prompted by US attempts to undermine the Allende government in favor of pro-US business elements inside Chile. As Neruda explains in the prologue to the poem cycle in translation: "My song is a tough attack on the enemies of my people as hard as Araucanian stone. This may be an ephemeral function. But I am fulfilling it. And I am resorting to the oldest weapons available to poetry: song and pamphleteering used by the classics and the romantics with the aim of destroying the enemy. So stand firm I'm about to fire the first shot!" Allende's government was toppled nevertheless by a US-backed military junta headed by Augusto Pinochet in September 1973. See Feinstein Pablo Neruda pp. 392ff for more on the political context in which the book was written. The Chilean painters José Balmes 1927-2016 and Gracia Barrios b. 1927 were active in Unidad Popular politics at the time of this inscription. In the same year Balmes created a series of works "Imaginarios del Canto General" based on texts from Neruda's epic "Canto General." Their relationship began decades earlier however: born in Catalonia Balmes arrived in Chile with 2200 other refuges from the Spanish Civil War in 1939 aboard the SS Winnipeg; a rescue mission which Neruda as Special Consul for Immigration personally orchestrated. For an interview in which Balmes recalls first meeting Neruda as a 12 year-old immigrant see: http://www.latercera.com/noticia/un-nino-y-el-poeta-las-memorias-de-jose-balmes-a-bordo-del-winnipeg/ "Incitación al nixonicidio" was also published by Quimantú in a limited edition of 1000 in the same month as this first trade edition. Neruda died in September 1973. Editora Nacional Quimantú unknown

A very good copy in the original cardstock wraps with dust jacket. Front inner hinge partly exposed but holding. Dust jacket age-toned and with a dampstain along the spine not affecting the interior. 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.
