They foreground the natural world, and their curiosity transcends all logic; and because they are paradoxes and riddles that embrace the limits of our ability to know, they engage with human freedom in the deepest way, removing the burden and constraint that somehow, we are meant to have answers to every question. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGorgeously, cosmically illustrated by Paloma Valdivia, here Neruda's questions, already visual in themselves, gain a double visuality that makes them even more palpable and resonant. So clearly rooted in Chilean landscapes as they are, the questions are revealed as a communion with nature and its mysteries.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pablo Neruda","offers":[{"title":"Hardback Picture book \/ Enchanted Lion Books \/ 2022-05-06","offer_id":43678886428927,"sku":"9781592703227","price":34.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0329\/9075\/7001\/products\/BNCImageAPI_abf9372b-8bfb-42b8-a51d-7c59dd102ecb.jpg?v=1670899533","url":"https:\/\/riverbookshop.com\/products\/9781592703227","provider":"River Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
