Platero y yo (Castalia Fuente) - Tapa blanda

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.
