Our short story today is about the Spanish poet, one of the best lyricists of his language, the 1956 Nobel Prize winner Juan Ramon Jimenez. Juan Ramon Jimenez was born on December 23, 1881 in the city Moger. He was the youngest in the family. As a child, Juan Ramon was a very dreamy boy, he could admire beautiful things for a long time. He was very fond of looking into a kaleidoscope.
In 1893, he entered the Jesuit College. Three years later, after becoming a bachelor and completing his secondary education, he entered the Faculty of Law of the University of Seville. In 1898 Jimenez dropped out of university and took up poetry. He read the poetry of the French symbolist poets - Baudelaire, Verlaine, Mallarmé.
In 1902, Jimenez initiated the creation of the Spanish literary magazine "Helios" with a modernist orientation. Jimenez traveled to France and the United States, where in 1913 he met the writer, translator Rabindranath Tagore Zenobia Kamprubi, who later became his wife and assistant. The couple first emigrated to Cuba, and then lived in the United States and Puerto Rico. Jimenez taught at the university for a while. In 1956, Jimenez became a laureate Nobel Prize in Literature "For lyrical poetry, an example of high spirit and artistic purity in Spanish poetry." Jimenez died in 1958.
Critics distinguish three stages in Jimenez's work - at the first stage he experienced the influence of the romantic lyrics of Becker, the French symbolism of Baudelaire and Verlaine. In the second stage, he drew inspiration from the works of Blake, Shelley, Emily Dickinson and William Butler Yeats. The third stage of his work was different proximity to spiritual research and the desire for brightness.
