SOCIEDAD DE BIBLIÓFILOS CHILENOS, fundada en 1945

Chile, fértil provincia, y señalada / en la región antártica famosa, / de remotas naciones respetada / por fuerte, principal y poderosa, / la gente que produce es tan granada, / tan soberbia, gallarda y belicosa, / que no ha sido por rey jamás regida, / ni a extranjero dominio sometida. La Araucana. Alonso de Ercilla y Zúñiga

In June, the Penguin Group (USA) imprint is publishing Chilean mystery author Roberto Ampuero’s The Neruda Case.




“Ampuero is already a literary star internationally, but this will be his first time being translated into English,” says Perciasepe. In this political thriller, Ampuero brings an integral piece of Chilean history—the 1973 military coup that violently ended Salvador Allende’s presidency—to life as his protagonist, PI Cayetano Brulé, fumbles through his first investigation, brought to him by the dying Chilean poet Pablo Neruda.
