Rendition During 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.

I read this purely out of Nobel Prize for Lit reputation incentive, which in hindsight would not have been as persuasive as it was without a Latinx translation appended to the description (Jiménez is from Spain, though, so the first of that doesn't adhere). I had heard things about reclaimed childhood and masterful prose and thought I could use a break from revisiting old politically savvy and narratologically complicated works by trying out something new and laid back instead. I certainly gotEdited on August 30, 2016Well, I have been chipping away at this as promised below the line and I have finally finished. It helped a lot that on my last trip to Arizona I packed my English language edition of the book. I still read the Spanish language edition but instead of the dictionary I was able to read the translations of the many many poems and I understood it all much better that way. Did I enjoy it? Yes and no. There were plenty of vivid images, and Platero was quite the character. But
Platero is a little donkey, a short book about this little character and the various inhabitants of a small village in Spain. The descriptions are beautiful and Jimenez was a poet after all, but it's his love for Platero which makes this book sweet.
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
Just finished reading this. My mother had recommended this book for years and finally gave it to me for my b-day. This book won her a medal in her province back in Ecuador ,when she recited the whole book line by line after memorizing it in completion. If you are an animal lover and can see animals for far more than what science tells of them , you will love this book. Platero is sweet and innocent , the interaction with the boy transports you to a world far away from modern stress, trains, loud
I really didn't get this book. Some parts were beautiful and poetic, but that didn't make up for the lack of narrative force for me.http://astrongbeliefinwicker.blogspot...
