«Rimas y leyendas» is the volume of poetry and legends by Gustavo Adolfo Bécquer, published by Edimat Libros in hardback (320 pages, in Spanish).
The Rimas are the lyrical expression of late Spanish Romanticism: brief poems about love, death and nature that influenced later authors. The Leyendas create in prose gloomy, mysterious and supernatural atmospheres. Hence Bécquer is at once a popular and academic classic.
This edition belongs to the Clásicos de la Literatura Española collection (Clásicos Selección, 25).
Aimed at readers of Spanish classics and students of Romantic literature.
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.
