Gustavo Adolfo Bécquer
Gustavo Adolfo Bécqeur is one of the finest writers in any language of tales about fantastic and supernatural occurrences and delirious and delusional states of mind. The fourteen legends, translated from Spanish to English in this volume, show Bécquer at the peak of his ability to render environments in which the human spirit expands its emotional desires in ways that can be as uplifting as they are destructive. Bécquer provides unforgettable characters placed in situations that constantly remind readers that we are never more alive than when we are on the verge of losing that which we hold most dear, be it people we love, dreams we have, or ultimately our very lives. In the Legends readers will find a preference for imaginative subject matter, an appreciation for nature and its link to human emotions, and a dwelling on individualistic and intimate thoughts and feelings. Intensifying all is the sense that Bécquer manifests a deep empathy for his characters regardless of their foibles.
Legends, Tales and Poems
Gustavo Adolfo Dom�nguez Bastida, better known as Gustavo Adolfo Becquer (Seville, February 17, 1836 - Madrid, 22 December 1870), was a Spanish poet and writer.
Collected Poems (Rimas)
Gustavo Adolfo Becquer was one of Spain's most important poets of the 19th century, and the instigator of a new Spanish version of Romanticism, influenced by German models such as Heine. Born in Seville in 1836, the son of an artist of Flemish origin, he lived only 34 years, but in that time created a hugely influential body of verse (his Rimas, or Rhymes) as well as several short fictions (the Leyendas, or Legends). His other works include a remarkable series of letters, or epistolary fictions, published as Desde mi celda (From My Cell). Orphaned at the age of five, Becquer was raised by an elderly, and childless, uncle. A talented artist himself - as was also his brother, Valeriano - he be...
Delphi Collected Works of Gustavo Adolfo Bécquer (Illustrated)
The late Romantic poet Gustavo Adolfo Bécquer is considered one of the first modern Spanish poets. His ‘Rimas’ (Rhymes) are celebrated for their sensitive, restrained and deeply subjective quality. Bécquer’s poetry tackles themes of love, disillusionment and loneliness, while exploring the mysteries of life and poetry. In contrast to the rhetorical and dramatic style of the Romantic period, Bécquer’s lyricism, in which assonance predominates, is simple and airy. The Delphi Poets Series offers readers the works of literature’s finest poets, with superior formatting. This volume presents Bécquer’s collected works, with related illustrations and the usual Delphi bonus material. ...
Rimas
Según un entendimiento muy generalizado entre la mayoría de los críticos, los poemas becquerianos constituyen una historia amorosa, en la que sus partes constituyen un todo armónico, roto en el orden de la edición príncipe, y también ausente en el Libro de los gorriones, mero recordatorio del original perdido en casa de González Bravo cuando la revolución. De aquí el esfuerzo y valor de las investigaciones que tratan de adentrarse en lo que constituye el núcleo lírico de las Rimas (y demás textos en prosa relacionados con las poesías), con el objeto de descubrir cuál es la naturaleza inefable de ese mundo, tan difícil de captar en su totalidad.(De la Introducción de José Carlos de Torres)
