Synopsis

Without being a didactic book, without being a Pedagogy book, without dogmatic pretensions, Platero y yo faithfully responded to the ideology of the Institución Libre de Enseñanza, which was defending the approach to nature in order to learn from it and its primordial beings. That they were in a position to provide the human being: a lesson in humanism. Perhaps for this definitive reason it enjoyed the privilege of becoming a book of inexcusable reading in the first educational levels of Spain and Hispanic America, being translated very soon into the most important languages ??of culture in the world, and then to most, if not to all the languages ??of the globe.
 

About this title

About the Author

Juan Ramón Jiménez Mantecón is a Spanish poet and winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1956, for the whole of his work, the lyrical narration Platero y yo being designated as its outstanding work. Although by age he belongs to the Novecentismo or Generation of 14, he maintained a close relationship with the previous generations (Modernism, which influenced his first stage) and later (Generation of 27, which he supported at least in his first works -although later he attacked them - and of which he was one of the main models, as well as a reference for some of the avant-garde authors). He sought to know the truth, as a way to achieve eternity and accuracy for him was beauty, considering poetry as a source of knowledge to grasp things.
