Learn Spanish Books | Policarpo and Uncle Pablo

In this autobiographical collection of childhood stories Délano, the son of one of Pablo Neruda’s closest friends, evokes his close relationship to the Chilean poet from a young boy’s perspective. Policarpo always thought of the Nobel Prize winner as Uncle Pablo. In these seven stories, much of what he sees, does, and eats is influenced by his uncle’s eccentric, yet pleasant attitudes. All of the stories are set in Mexico, which offers readers a glimpse into that country’s history and culture.
