Episode 4 - Juan Ramón Jiménez:

This season ends with a genius with a J: Juan Ramón Jiménez. We do not discover Platero and Ibut a work born in his most perfect and intellectual stage: Stone and sky. Here we bathe in the sea of his poetry, in the memory and transcendence of the stone man to reach the sky.

Furthermore, in this episode we enter into the Generation of '14 or 'Noucentista', a generation that emerged during the turbulent years of the First World War and which separated Spanish creation from the rest of the world, despite its Europeanist conception, far removed from the nationalism of the previous generation.

It was in this context that the Noucentistes appeared, a generation that championed intellectualism and the cultivation of knowledge, led by the philosopher Ortega y Gasset and made up not only of artists and writers, but also jurists, philosophers, politicians and even scientists.

We hope you have enjoyed this season and we promise to be back in September with more and better content. May you be, eternally, permanently fickle!
