«Platero y yo» is the poetic prose work by Juan Ramón Jiménez, published by Anaya in hardcover (304 pages, in Spanish).
After returning to Moguer, Juan Ramón Jiménez finds a town that is no longer the one of his childhood, and in Platero, the donkey that accompanies him, he finds a confidant to share his inner world. The brief chapters alternate descriptions of the Andalusian landscape with the friendship between the poet and the donkey, and Platero becomes a symbol of simple beauty.
