«Leyendas» is the collection of romantic legends by Gustavo Adolfo Bécquer and Arthur Arneb, published by CreateSpace in paperback (156 pages, in Spanish).
The volume brings together tales of Spanish Romanticism in which the supernatural and the mysterious cross paths with everyday life: passions, nocturnal settings and inexplicable events. It includes legends such as «El monte de las Ánimas», «Maese Pérez, el organista», «El miserere» and «Rayo de Luna».
These legends were published in installments in Madrid newspapers between 1858 and 1864; the collection appeared in book form after the death of Gustavo Adolfo Bécquer.
For readers of classic Spanish literature and short stories with an atmosphere of mystery and popular tradition.
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.
