«Rimas y leyendas» is the poetry and short stories work by Gustavo Adolfo Bécquer, published by Diario El País in paperback (159 pages, in Spanish).
Edition bringing together Bécquer's Rimas and Leyendas: brief poems about love, inspiration and disillusionment, and narratives with a mysterious setting in which the supernatural breaks in. Bécquer's apparent simplicity conceals great mastery of language, which is why these works remain a classic of Spanish Romanticism.

For readers approaching Spanish Romanticism for the first time and for those who want to rediscover Bécquer.
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.
