Pablo Neruda (1904-1973), whose real name is NeftalÃÂ­ Ricardo Reyes Basoalto, was born on 12 July, 1904, in the town of Parral in Chile. His father was a railway employee and his mother, who died shortly after his birth, a teacher. Some years later his father, who had then moved to the town of Temuco, remarried doÃÂ±a Trinidad Candia Malverde.
