智利诗人聂鲁达的《洋葱颂》(1904-1973)是一本富有诗意、插图精美的绘本。帕布罗和他的朋友玛蒂尔德共进午餐，玛蒂尔德带这位喜怒无常的诗人参观了她的花园。巴勃罗看到的是冲突和悲伤，玛蒂尔德看到的是爱和希望。这个故事歌颂了一种谦逊而明亮、黑暗而光明、阴郁而快乐、充满悲伤而又充满喜悦的情绪——就像生活一样。

A poetic, beautifully illustrated picture book inspired by Ode to the Onion by Chilean poet Pablo Neruda (1904-1973). Pablo has a lunch date with his friend Matilde, who shows the moody poet her garden. Where Pablo sees conflict and sadness, Matilde sees love and hope. The story is less a biography of Neruda and his muse, Matilde Urrutia (1912-1985), and more a simple ode to a vegetable that is humble and luminous, dark and light, gloomy and glad, full of grief and full of joy--just like life.
