«Platero y yo» is the lyrical narrative by Spanish poet and Nobel laureate Juan Ramón Jiménez, published by Planeta Publishing in hardcover (144 pages).
The work brings together brief vignettes, almost prose poems, that lyrically recreate the life and death of the donkey Platero and the poet's relationship with the animal. The small everyday scenes serve Juan Ramón Jiménez to build a reflection on beauty and loss.
The commemorative edition from Austral Ediciones Especiales reproduces the facsimile edition published in 1937 in Argentina, with drawings by Fernando Marco in duotone.
Recommended for young readers beginning their journey into poetry and for those seeking a special edition of a classic of Spanish literature.
