En addition to a literary perspective on Pablo Neruda's work, this book by critic and researcher Jaime Concha examines the awarding of the Nobel Prize in relation to the historical process of Chilean society. Continuing and expanding upon his previous studies, the author aims to provide a historical and social analysis of Neruda's work, placing it within the context of the years leading up to the birth of the poet and the outbreak of the Spanish Civil War (1904-1936). The challenging nature of this endeavor lies not only in the inherent difficulties of the lyrical genre but also in the complexities arising from the fact that the Marxist approach to literary research employed in this singular book is still in the process of formation, with limited understanding of the valuable contributions already made. As the author states in his new preface, the book was written in response to a specific historical period, nearly a precise span of time, centered around the Chile of 1970.

En esta nueva vision, que continua y que supera sus estudios anteriores, el autor intenta un analisis historico-social de la obra nerudiana, enmarcándola entre los años del nacimiento del poeta y del estallido de la guerra civil española (1904-1936). Lo arduo de este proposito no solo reside en las dificultades inherentes al genero lírico, sino también en las derivadas del hecho que el método marxista de investigación sobre literatura aplicado en este libro singular es todavía una empresa que está en vías de constitución, sin desconocer los valiosos aportes ya realizados. Como el autor indica en su nuevo prologo, el libro respondía a un periodo histórico muy determinado, casi un lapso bien preciso, situado en torno al Chile de 1970.
