«Leyendas, apólogos y otros relatos» is a collection of stories by Gustavo Adolfo Bécquer, published by Editorial Labor in paperback (425 pages, in Spanish).
The book brings together legends, apologues and stories by the author, with edition, prologue and notes by Rubén Benítez. The introductory study revalues Bécquer's short narrative, far from the declamatory Romantic tone and close to modernist nuances, within a tradition of direct narration that links with classical Spanish prose.
It belongs to the Colección Labor (new series, no. 34) and is the third edition, published in 1993.
For literature students and readers who want to approach the short narrative of a classic of Spanish Romanticism.
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.
