Provenance: Sotheby's, 11 November 1982, lot 167.
The earliest known poetical manuscripts by Neruda, dating from Neruda's early years in Temuco and Puerto Saavedra in southern Chile before his move to Santiago in March 1921: they include all but one of the 26 poems published by him in periodicals between October 1918 and October 1920, and versions of eight poems included in his first collection, Crepusculario (1923). A few others have been quoted by scholars, but approx. 120 remain apparently unpublished. The notebooks are discussed by Hernan Loyola in Ser y morir en Pablo Neruda (1918-1945), (Santiago, 1967).
Neruda was a famously precocious writer: he composed his first poems as early as 1914 at the age of 10, and his first published work (an essay in a local newspaper) is from July 1917. By the period of these notebooks in 1918 to 1920 he was regularly published poems in local magazines, and in 1919 won third prize in the literary competition 'Juegos Florales del Maule'; in 1921, still only 16 years old, he moved to Santiago to study at the University of Chile, but soon devoted himself wholly to poetry, with his first compilation, Crepusculario, being published in 1923. The notebooks, which were clearly shared with Neruda's half-sister, Laura Reyes, intriguingly track the change in 1920 from his birth name, Ricardo Neftalí Reyes to his lifelong pseudonym Pablo Neruda (usually assumed to derive from the Czech poet Jan Neruda).
