Neruda: The map of a great initiation trip, 1927-1932

Abstract

This article attempts to design with precision the map of the complex itinerary of the Great two-way Trip taken by Pablo Neruda from Chile to Rangoon, Colombo, then Batavia and Puerto Montt between 1927 and 1932, as well as the smaller trips he took.
