While serving as ambassador to France, Neruda was diagnosed with cancer. He resigned and returned to Chile, where he died on September 23, 1973. Before his death, he wrote his thoughts about the September 11 coup and the death of Salvador Allende in Golpe de Estado.

Neruda gave readings to the two largest audiences of any poet in history. On July 15, 1945 at Pacaembu Stadium in São Paulo, Brazil, he read to 100,000 people at a reading in honor of Communist revolutionary Luis Carlos Prestes.[1] Upon returning to Chile after his Nobel Prize acceptance speech, Salvador Allende invited Neruda to read at the Estadio Nacional before 70,000 people.
