Synopsis "Rimas (in Spanish)"

Gustavo Adolfo Becquer fue un hombre de su tiempo el siglo XIX, un periodista politico, escritor versatil, reconocido en vida, que alcanzo tras su muerte mayor gloria. La difusion de sus Â«RimasÂ» contribuyo en gran medida a esta popularidad, ya que supo llegar como pocos, y por encima de diferencias de gusto y cultura, al corazon humano. El nombre de Â«rimasÂ» hace alusion a su propia sencillez y en ellas logra transmitir los sentimientos del poeta con un arte confidencial e intimo. La mayor parte las escribio en sus anos de privaciones y pobreza y solo unas pocas fueron publicadas durante su vida, en periodicos o revistas. Fueron sus amigos quienes, tras la muerte del poeta, las dieron a luz.

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.
