Books by Juan Ramon Jimenez

Presents a picture of life in the town of Moguer, in Andalusia, Spain, as seen through the eyes of a wandering poet and his faithful donkey.

In a series of aphorisms, this book brings together the elements of perfect work, both in writing and in other realms. A treasure for poets and writers, it includes helpful commentary by a noted translator and shows perfection to be a process of "becoming" rather than an end product. It also includes many aphorisms that were published in Spanish.

This lyric portrait of life in a remote Andalusian village is the masterpiece of Juan Ramon Jimenez, the Spanish poet awarded the 1956 Nobel Prize for Literature.
