«Rimas y leyendas» is the volume of poetry and legends by Gustavo Adolfo Bécquer, in paperback (378 pages, in Spanish).
The volume brings together the Rimas and the Leyendas, two representative works of Spanish Romanticism. The Rimas are short poems of apparent simplicity and great stylistic mastery, with echoes of love, death and nature. The Leyendas, tales with medieval and fantastic settings, combine popular tradition and elegant prose.
This 1981 edition, in paperback, is part of the Pequeño Tesoro collection.
Aimed at readers of poetry and classic Spanish literature, as well as those approaching 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.
