Juan Ramón Jiménez Mantecón, was born in Moguer, Spain, on December 23, 1881 and died in San Juan, Puerto Rico, on May 29, 1958. He was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature for the compendium of his works, among which distinguishes the lyrical prose poem "Platero and I."
On this occasion I bring you this lyrical poetry by this Nobel Prize winner, which is drawn throughout its pages, with wonderfully decorated scenes and images, without falling into the linguistic goldsmithing to which many creators appeal and which disgusts many others.
I believe, and so I did, that the book should be read audibly to oneself, in order to extract with greater benefit for the soul, the sensory richness it contains.
Jiménez warns at the beginning of the work that it was not written for children; But, yes, it is a story of the poet's childhood experiences in his town of Moguer, Huelva, along with his good and inseparable friend, the donkey "Platero."
I believe that it should not be easy to work on the creation of lyrical poetry, unless the subject that is removed overflows its heart onto the paper. In this gem of literature, the author did the same by going back to his childhood memories, which were masterfully captured until eternity.
I hope you have the opportunity to enjoy it as I did.
