Es considerado entre los más destacados e influyentes artistas de su siglo; además de haber sido senador de la república chilena, miembro del Comité Central del Partido Comunista (PC), precandidato a la presidencia de su país y embajador en Francia. En 1971 Neruda recibió el Premio Nobel de Literatura «por una poesía que con la acción de una fuerza elemental da vida al destino y los sueños de un continente».
