Translaton f]rom Neruda's introduction: "The poems collected in this book were part of a cycle of my production developed nearly ten years ago. The influence they show of the great Uruguayan poet Carlos Sabat Ercasty and his general accent of eloquence and verbal arrogance made me remove the vast majority of them from publicity. Now, after the period in which the publication of "El Hondero Entusiasta" would have hurt me intimately, I have delivered them to this publisher, as a document, valid for those who are interested in my poetry..." Neruda. January 1933.

"El hondero entusiasta", Neruda's first cyclical poem, was initially published in No. 4 of the magazine "Atenea", of the University of Concepción, in 1924. Cyclic in the understanding that addressed the human, nature and the cosmos, seen through the eyes of the 19-year-old poet. in 1933, Neruda published the book of the same name "El hondero entusiasta", with this poem as a portal to 11 others, with erotic content.
