To understand the whys and hows of a mid-career culmination like Heights however, you really need to understand what came before. As such, much of the book is taken up by a discussion of Neruda's life and poetry prior to his visit to Macchu Picchu and the composition born of that. That done, the work then discusses root words, vowel (and consonant) sounds, syllables and stresses, and the difficulties of expressing someone else's thoughts from one language to another.
A wonderful work that gave me a new understanding of Heights that I had failed to get from either the Tarn or Schmit translations, but at the same time unlikely to appeal to anyone who isn't interested in either Neruda or the process of translating, and preferably both.½
