EDITORS COMMENTS
This illustration is taken from the prose work "Platero y yo" (Platero and I) by the esteemed Spanish poet, Nobel laureate Juan Ramón Jiménez (1881-1958). The image depicts Jiménez, with a thoughtful expression, sitting on the back of a donkey named Platero. The donkey, with its expressive eyes and proud posture, seems to understand every word spoken by its master. This heartfelt bond between man and animal is a central theme in Jiménez's literary masterpiece. Published in 1914, "Platero y yo" is a collection of poetic vignettes that chronicles the author's journey through the Spanish countryside with his loyal companion, Platero. The work is renowned for its lyrical beauty and its exploration of the relationship between the human experience and the natural world. Jiménez was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1956, in recognition of his "pioneering contribution to the modern Spanish language." This illustration is a poignant reminder of the profound impact that Jiménez and his work have had on Spanish literature and culture. The image also features a drum and a ram, symbols of the traditional Spanish way of life that Jiménez celebrated in his writing. The historical significance of this illustration is further emphasized by the fact that it was created by the talented Spanish artist, Juan Ramón Jiménez himself. This print is a must-have for anyone with an appreciation for Spanish literature, poetry, or the art of illustration.
