«Rimas» is the romantic poetry collection by Gustavo Adolfo Bécquer, published by Cátedra in paperback (108 pages, in Spanish).
The book brings together Bécquer's rimas, short poems that address love, nature and melancholy with apparent simplicity and great lyrical intensity. Its intimate, reflective tone, marked by the fleetingness of life, has made this work an essential reference of 19th-century Spanish poetry.
The 1988 edition belongs to Cátedra's Letras Hispánicas collection.
Suitable for students of Spanish literature and for readers who want to approach 19th-century Romantic poetry.
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.
