«Platero y yo» is the lyrical narrative by Juan Ramón Jiménez, published by Austral in paperback (320 pages, in Spanish).
The work narrates, in brief vignettes, the daily life of an Andalusian village through the relationship between the narrator and his donkey Platero: walks, conversations and observations that combine lyrical beauty, humor and social criticism. The animal's death closes an elegiac portrait of innocence and the passage of time.

A classic of Hispanic literature, suitable for anyone wishing to approach the poetic prose of Juan Ramón Jiménez or rediscover it with the guidance of a specialist.
