«Platero y yo» is the lyrical narrative by Spanish poet Juan Ramón Jiménez, published by Lucemar in paperback (192 pages, in Spanish).
The work brings together brief vignettes evoking life in Moguer, Juan Ramón Jiménez's town, and the poet's relationship with his donkey Platero: walks, landscapes, animals and childhood memories. Its poetic prose, simple and unadorned, has made this book reading for children and adults alike, although it was not written expressly for them.
The author received the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1956. The work was originally published in 1914.
A school classic and regular reading for children and adults, for its simple language and lyrical view of nature and childhood.
