«Leyendas» is the collection of fantastic tales by Gustavo Adolfo Bécquer, published by Anaya Infantil y Juvenil in paperback (256 pages, in Spanish).
In these narratives, Bécquer fuses the legendary and the supernatural with Romantic sensibility: apparitions, thwarted loves and mysteries in historical settings, told with musical prose and an atmosphere of unreality that anticipates cinema.
Volume 17 of the Clásicos - Tus Libros-Selección collection, with illustrations by Enrique Flores.
Edition aimed at young people aged 14 and over who want to approach the classics of Romanticism and the ghost story.
Gustavo Adolfo Claudio Domínguez Bastida, better known as Gustavo Adolfo Bécquer, was a Spanish Romantic poet and writer, also a playwright, literary columnist, and talented in drawing. He is one of the most important figures in Spanish literature, with some considering him the most read Spanish writer after Miguel de Cervantes. He adopted the alias of Bécquer as his brother Valeriano Bécquer, a painter, had done earlier. He was associated with the romanticism and post-romanticism movements and wrote while realism enjoyed success in Spain. He was moderately well-known during his life, but it was after his death that most of his works were published. His best-known works are the Rhymes and the Legends, usually published together as Rimas y leyendas. These poems and tales are essential to studying Spanish literature and common reading for high-school students in Spanish-speaking countries.
