Like  Le Petit Prince  by Antoine de Saint-Exupery and Lewis Carroll's  Alice in Wonderland ,  Platero and I  is a book not only for children, but for adults as well. It is an allegory of the deepest human emotions. As with  Don Quixote , in the Spanish golden Age,  Platero and I  has become the classic of 20th century Spain. Known as the 'Andalucian elegy',  it follows the journey of the author and his donkey Platero  through the countryside of Moguer, birthplace of Juan Ramon  Jimenez.    In his review of this translation, John Dixon wrote: 'This  translation reflects the spirit of the work as poetry, however,  in the attention to detail and in the understanding that in such  detail, in the individual words and the network of relations in  which they are placed, lies the ability to capture the rhythmic  harmonies of the original. If the often repeated debate as to the  translatability or untranslatability of poetry has to be  answered, then this translation, in every way comparable to a  translation of poetry as far as approach is concerned, testifies  to the fact that it can be done'. In her preface to this  translation, Susan Bassnett writes: 'this translation is proof  that an intrinsically Spanish book can be made accessible to  readers from other cultural traditions'.    Salvador Ortiz-Carboneres was brought up in the Valencian  countryside, which helped him to understand the idyllic  background in which  Platero and I  is set.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49619834994961,"sku":"GOR010970366","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50815292866833,"sku":"GOR014084107","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0856688398.jpg?v=1751297220"},{"product_id":"lorca-blood-wedding-book-salvador-ortiz-carboneres-9780856687952","title":"Lorca: Blood Wedding","description":"Federico Garcia Lorca was born near Granada in 1898. Initially  set on studying music in Paris, after his piano teacher died in  1916 he became involved in a literary and artistic group,  including H G Wells and Rudyard Kipling. This move towards a more  literary life eventually paid off.  Blood Wedding (Bodas de Sangre) was written in 1932, and was first performed in Madrid in March 1933. It proved to be the popular and critical success  he'd been waiting for. When the play was staged in Buenos Aires  he even found himself confronted with the prospect of wealth - a  prospect that soon became a reality. This prosperous, happy spell  was short-lived though, as the political situation in Spain  altered under Franco, putting an end to this time, and  ultimately, his life. Lorca was executed on August 18th 1936.   Blood Wedding  is based around the story of a young woman who, unable to wed her lover is made to marry a more suitable man. On  the day of her wedding, however, La Novia (The Bride) runs away  with her lover (Leonardo), who is married with children. A series  of events ensues... Leonardo is the only character in the play to  have a name, the others all being identified by their role: El  Novio (The Groom), La Suegra (The Mother-in-Law). As with many of  Lorca's plays, symbolism is key, with the moon and death  personified. This is the first play in Lorca's trilogy of rural  tragedies, with  Yerma  and  The House of Bernarda Alba","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":50669582123281,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50669582680337,"sku":"GOR011108044","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0856687952.jpg?v=1751012084"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/collections\/author-books-by-salvador-ortiz-carboneres.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
