100 Love Sonnets by Pablo Neruda are translated to English in this title by Stephen Tapscott. Summary of the Book Neruda dedicated this collection to his beloved wife, Matilde Urrutia de Neruda. The sonnets are set against the backdrop of Isla Negra, one of his major muses. The sensually ecstatic poems celebrate the sea, wind, sand, the gentle windflowers, and all other natural elements.
