From the Mid-1900s to the 2000s: Pablo Neruda to Toni Morrison

Over the course of his career, the Chilean poet Pablo Neruda was inspired by both romance and politics. The use of literature as a tool for social change is also apparent in the works of Toni Morrison, whose experiences as a Black woman in America influenced her art. Both Neruda and Morrison were awarded the Nobel Prize for literature in recognition of their powerful writing. In this volume, detailed biographies are paired with photographs of great writers of the late 20th century. Readers and aspiring writers will be fascinated by these influential people and the stories they told.
