Since their first publication in 1895 they have become cult classics, influencing many writers from the renowned master of cosmic horror H. P. Lovecraft to the creators of HBOs True Detective.Robert W. Chambers (1865-1933) was an American author and artist. He was a prolific writer and enjoyed great success during his lifetime, with an output ranging from romance to science fiction.

Ebook con un sumario dinámico y detallado: Platero y yo es una narración de Juan Ramón Jiménez que recrea poéticamente la vida y muerte del burro Platero. Es muy célebre el primer párrafo:Platero es un burro pequeño, peludo, suave; tan blando por fuera que se diria todo de algodon, que no lleva huesos. Come de todo y los del pueblo dicen que tiene acero...1La primera edicion se publico en 1914 (Ediciones de la lectura), y en 1917 se publico la edicion completa, compuesta por 138 capitulos (Editorial Calleja, Madrid). Quedaba claro que Platero era un texto adulto, aunque por su sencillez y transparencia se adecuara perfectamente a la imaginacion y al gusto de los niños. Algunos capitulos encerraban una cierta critica social, revelando una dimension del autor que muchos tardaron en advertir. El propio Juan Ramon Jimenez, en un "prologuillo" a la edicion aclaraba: "Yo nunca he escrito ni escribire 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 tenia la intencion de ampliar el texto hasta los 190 capitulos; de hecho, existen tres adicionales, escritos en la decada de 1920. Juan Ramon Jimenez planeo tambien una segunda parte, denominada Otra vida de Platero, de la que incluso esbozo algunos titulos. Un proyecto que, como el de publicar Platero y yo en cuadernos sueltos, no llegaria nunca a ver la luz. Juan Ramon Jimenez Mantecon (Moguer, Huelva, 23 de diciembre de 1881-San Juan, Puerto Rico, 29 de mayo de 1958) fue un poeta español, ganador del Premio Nobel de Literatura en 1956, por el conjunto de su obra, designandose como trabajo destacado de la misma, la narracion lirica Platero y yo.
