Neruda was best known for his love poems. Overnight, he became a literary darling and the public was fascinated. For years after publication of his collection of poems, readers wanted to know who the poems were about.

But the Spanish Civil War interrupted his work. The outbreak of the Spanish Civil War in turned Neruda more concretely towards politics. His explicit stance made him unfit for his diplomatic post, so he was recalled in Neruda traveled to Paris, despite his trepidation for the literary city, before returning to Chile in He became consul to Mexico in , where he wrote until returning to Chile in Neruda married Delia in That same year, his daughter Malva passed away.
