Narrative In Favor Of Books Platero y yo

Platero y yo es una narración de Juan Ramón Jiménez que recrea poéticamente la vida y muerte del burro Platero. Es muy celebre el primer parrafo: “Platero es pequeño, peludo, suave; tan blando por fuera, que se diría todo de algodón, que no lleva huesos. Sólo los espejos de azabache de sus ojos son duros cual dos escarabajos de cristal negro. Lo dejo suelto y se va al prado y acaricia tibiamente, rozándolas apenas, las florecillas rosas, celestes y gualdas... Lo llamo dulcemente: ¿Platero?, y viene a mi con un trotecillo alegre, que parece que se ríe, en no sé que cascabeleo ideal...” La primera edición se publico en 1914 (Ediciones De La Lectura) y en 1917 se publicó la edición completa, compuesta por 138 capítulos (Editorial Calleja, Madrid). Quedaba claro que era un texto adulto, aunque por su sencillez y transparencia se adecuara perfectamente a la imaginación y al gusto de los niños. Algunos capítulos encerraban una cierta critica social, revelando una dimensión del autor que muchos tardaron en advertir. El propio Juan Ramón Jiménez, en un prologuillo a la edición aclaraba: “Yo nunca he escrito ni escribiré nada para niños porque creo que el niño puede leer los libros que lee el hombre, con determinadas excepciones que a todos se le ocurren.” El poeta tenía la intención de ampliar el texto hasta los 190 capítulos; de hecho, existen tres adicionales, escritos en la década de 1920. Juan Ramón Jiménez planeó también una segunda parte, denominada Otra vida de Platero, de la que incluso esbozó algunos títulos. Un proyecto que, como el de publicar Platero y yo en cuadernos sueltos, no llegaría nunca a ver la luz.

Criticize Out Of Books Platero y yo

This book is a collection of vignettes, most a scant few paragraphs each, about a man's affection for his beloved donkey and his love for the world around him. Jimenez was a renowned poet and won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1956. And though this book is written in prose, the writing sings like pure poetry:The clear wind from the sea sweeps up the red slope to the field at the summit and breaks into laughter among the tender white flowers...The well! What a deep word, Platero, so dark a

In general, the further south one travels in Europe, the kinder people are to children and the crueller they are to animals. The patient suffering of donkeys in the Latin world is legendary. One acknowledges that over time there has been an amelioration. I cannot forget the horror, on reading Sir Charles Oman's History of the Peninsular War, of the passage where Wellington's army find hundreds of donkeys left behind by the retreating French, all of which have been cruelly hamstrung and abandoned

Platero and I was written in the first decade of the twentieth century and reveals a life which has almost completely died out. The poet tells stories of, and too, his close companion, his donkey Platero.There is nostalgia in the author's stories but this does not make the book sentimental. The life described here, of the people in the town of Moguer in Andalusia, is a simple traditional country one where the weather and the seasons are key guides, where a dog rescuing her puppies is worthy of a

I thought I was borrowing the 1001 list Book but accidentally got this childrens version instead. Oops! Cant say Im rushing to get the full length book, its a bit boring.

This book gave such a wonderful picture of Spain in that era. The innocence of the children, the beauty of nature and the bonding and love a person has with their animal. I love Platero who is so soft, he feels like he has no bones when you hug him; yet he is so tough, hard-working and strong. The short essays are tremendously sweet and beautifully descriptive.

The version of this book that I read was translated by Eloise Roach. These wonderful prose poems cover a year of insights and observations that Juan Ramon Jimenez made while recuperating in Andalusia from depression after his father died. Roach's version has some delightful drawings by Jo Alys Downs that add to the over all book.
