Tesoros de la Hispanidad
El amor!... El amor es un rayo de luna.
Las Leyendas, de Gustavo Adolfo Bécquer (Sevilla, 1836-Madrid, 1870), son un clásico de la literatura española del siglo XIX y una lectura obligada del acervo hispánico. En los dieciocho relatos de este volumen (entre ellos, Los ojos verdes, El rayo de luna y El monte de las ánimas), el autor incursiona en el orientalismo y retoma ecos de la tradición popular, en historias con alto contenido gótico donde abundan el suspenso, la fantasÃa y el horror.
Exponente fundamental del Romanticismo tardÃo, Bécquer es uno de los principales narradores de la lengua española. Su fabulosa inspiración está a la par de la calidad de su prosa cuidada, vibrante y de gran tenor lÃrico. Esto no es casual, pues el autor es uno de los poetas más célebres y reconocidos, tanto en España como en América Latina, y sus Rimas se encuentran entre los libros más leÃdos en el mundo hispano.
A master of late Romanticism, Gustavo Adolfo Bécquer (Spain, 1836-1870) is one of the most famous and celebrated authors across Spain and Latin America. His works (including Leyendas and Rimas) have been best sellers since their original publication in the 19th century. Often compared to Edgar Allan Poe, his natural style influenced Antonio Machado and Juan Ramón Jiménez[JP1], among others.
Leyendas includes eighteen short stories published between 1858 and 1864, and is a classic of Spanish literature. With E.T.A. Hoffmann as an inspiration, gothic fiction, popular tradition, mystery and exoticism converge in this book's vibrant and lyrical prose, making it a great choice for readers with a good command of the language.
