Platero y yo

The tale of the famous Spanish writer and poet, a leading figure of Spanish modernism, Nobel Prize laureate (1956) Juan Ramón Jiménez (1881–1958) "Platero and I" was published in 1914. Translated from Spanish, "platero" means "silver-gray". Platero is a little donkey, a faithful friend, before whom the author reveals his inner world, experiences, and doubts. The book is beloved by both adults and children in Spain and other countries on the vast "planet of people". This brings it closer to works such as "The Little Prince" by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry and "Alice in Wonderland" by Lewis Carroll.

This edition includes the complete text of the work, accompanied by lexical and grammatical comments and a glossary.
