Synopsis "Leyendas (in Spanish)"

gustavo adolfo becquer (sevilla, 1836- madrid, 1870) compuso sus dieciséis leyendas entre 1858 y 1864m período en que alcanzó estabilidad profesional como periodista y consiguió el reconocimiento como escritor. las piezas se publicaron en la prensa de la época principalmente en el contemporáneo, diario del partido moderado, así como en las revistas la crónica, la crónica de ambos mundos y la américa. en la mayoría de sus cuentos, bécquer mantuvo la ambientación española y medieval propias de las leyendas de la generación romántica ( la de espronceda, el duque de rivas y zorilla), pero supo añadir una atmósfera de misterio e indefinición que convierte a las mejores piezas en excelentes relatos fantásticos, a la altura de las grandes cimas del género en el siglo xix. la presente edición recupera las versiones originales aparecidad en la prensa, con el objetivo de ofrecer al lector un texto más acorde a la voluntad de bécquer que el que publicaron sus amigos un año después de la muerte del autor.

Spanish poet born in Seville on February 17, 1836, and died in Madrid on December 22, 1870, the real name of Gustavo Adolfo Bécquer was Gustavo Adolfo Domínguez Bastida

Bécquer is considered one of the standards of Romanticism in Spain. After starting in painting, in which he did not particularly excel, he moved to Madrid to dedicate himself to literature. He did not achieve great success and survived by co-writing comedies and zarzuelas under the pseudonym Gustavo García

As tuberculosis and depression began to manifest in him, he embarked on the project of writing the History of the Temples of Spain, a work of which only a first volume would see the light. After falling in love with Julia Espín, a girl from the upper-class Madrid society who scorned him, he began to write his Rhymes

Bécquer then started working as an editor at El Contemporáneo and as a censor of novels. In 1870 he and his brother Valeriano, his great support throughout his life, were hired to work at La Ilustración de Madrid; however, Valeriano died in September of that year, which ended the little health of the author, who died at the end of December during a solar eclipse. His friends published, at the express wish of the author, his works, in order to financially help the three children of the Sevillian poet

Among his works, it is worth highlighting his Rhymes and also his Legends, fundamental within the literature of the 19th century Spain.
