«Rimas y leyendas» is the classic by Gustavo Adolfo Bécquer, edited by Juan Carlos Fernández Serrato, in paperback published by Anaya Infantil y Juvenil.
The volume brings together two essential titles of Spanish Romanticism. The Rimas are short poems of an intimate and popular tone that explore love, disillusionment, solitude and the power of words. The Leyendas, prose narratives, combine the mysterious and the fantastic: supernatural events, popular traditions, evocative settings and strong lyricism.
It belongs to the Clásicos Hispánicos collection; the edition includes an introduction, explanatory and vocabulary notes, an appendix and activities. Bécquer's original dates from 1868.
Aimed at readers aged 14 and over and at students approaching Hispanic classics in the classroom.
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.
