«Platero y yo» is the lyrical narrative by Spanish poet Juan Ramón Jiménez, published by Now Books in hardcover (141 pages, in Spanish).
Told in lyrical prose, the work follows the daily life of Platero, a donkey, and the poet's view of the town of Moguer, in Huelva. The scenes combine the light of the Andalusian landscape, tenderness towards the animal, nostalgia for the simple and a trace of melancholy, in a text that over the years has become a classic of Spanish literature.
Juan Ramón Jiménez received the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1956. The work was originally published in 1914; this Now Books edition is from 2015.
A brief and moving read, suitable for those approaching the classics of Spanish literature for the first time and for lovers of poetic prose.
