Full of an immense love of life, sparkling metaphors, humor, and a quiet melancholy, this novel is like a sip of sunshine, which is sometimes sorely missed on a gray weekday.

In a tiny village on the Pacific coast, the famous Chilean poet Pablo Neruda lives in exile. He is the only recipient of letters on Isla Negra and the only customer of the young postman Mario Jimenez, whose humble labor barely earns him enough money to buy movie tickets.

A great poet and a young postman—what could they possibly have in common? But Pablo Neruda and Mario Jimenez quickly become friends, united by their love for how poetry permeates our world. And in his love for humanity, Neruda teaches the young man not only how to view reality through the prism of metaphors but also how to win the heart of the captivatingly beautiful Beatriz.

Antonio Skarmeta's novel, now a modern classic, was the basis for the Oscar-winning film "The Postman," directed by Michael Radford. This is the first time Neruda's "The Postman" has been published in Russian since its 1985 release.
