The Prince of Modern Spanish-Language Poets
"Just when Spanish Romanticism was thought to have passed, arrived the True Romantic". This is the seminal work of Gustavo Adolfo Bécquer, The Prince Of Modern Spanish-Language Poets. As the Ancient Greeks, he sings to everything: from the supernatural and abstract description of inspiration, to the sad and thought-provoking poem on the loneliness of a dead child. Two Words: The Best! Look also for "Leyendas", the companion piece to "Rimas", they are usually sold together as one book.

Maravilloso.
Sencillamente es uno de los mejores (y para mí el mejor) libro de poesía que se ha escrito en español. Es maravilloso.

Romaticismo is not dead!
If you have the love of Romantic poetry in your soul, then Becquer is for you. His "Rimas" - like Mozart's music and Shakespeare's love sonnets - are gems of humanity that belie all the hypocrisy and evil of this failed world. Get a copy of his simple yet powerful poetry and take a break from reality and gain a glimpse of beauty. Becquer's poetry resembles that of Poe in English very much

Lo mejor y lo peor del romanticismo
Cualquiera que lea las rimas de Bécquer en la adolescencia temprana, en el momento de los primeros enamoramientos, quedará fascinado por la sintonía de sus sentimientos con los versos. En realidad, su calidad es dispareja (aunque ello no impide recomendar su lectura). Los que mejor recuerdo son "Volverán las oscuras golondrinas" y "Qué solos se quedan los muertos". Algunos rayan en la cursilería más simplona, pero otros tienen un patetismo atractivo, sobre todo porque Bécquer tiene la cualidad de proyectar una atmósfera muy provinciana, muy sevillana, que les da un aura de misterio. Las leyendas, en cambio, son una joya del romanticismo: recuperan de manera convincente la obscuridad y la cercanía con lo sobrenatural, que caracterizan el apego del romanticismo por la Edad Media. Son , desde luego, sumamente sentimentales, pero la creación de ambientes rayanos en ell delirio es muy buena. El trabajo de Bécquer vale la pena por su representatividad y por la recuperación del sabor de las antiguas leyendas españolas.

Maestro del Romance
Yo lei el libro de Rimas y Leyendas cuando era una jovencita de 15 o 16 anos de edad. Ahora como mujer mayor, con familia y una carrera, todavia me emociona y me hace sentir como esa jovencita sonadora. Si tu eres romantica/o, este es un libro que se debe tener en la biblioteca personal. Las Leyendas estan tambien llenas de misterio y romance. En general este libro es uno que no aburre y que renueva.

obra de arte
Becquer para mi es el mejor poeta romantico con diferencia, sus rimas estan llenas de intimismo, imaginacion y libertad, uno se ve reflejado en cada verso, y en sus leyendas emplea una bellisima prosa poetica para narrar sus irreales y magicas historias. Si te gusta el misterio leelas.

THE "RIMAS" de Becquer -
Becquer has a melancholy tone to most of his work - although some verses are romantic - the "poor man" sound helplessly filled with despair. Perhaps Byronesque. Some of his imagery is beautiful. I feel he needs a pat on his back, assuring him life will get better.

Intimate poetry, fantastic narratives
Since I was a little girl Bécquer has always been my favourite writer. His were the first poems I read and whose feelings I really shared. They are simple, sincere, intimate rhymes, influenced by the Romantic German poet Heine. They deal with love, passion, despair and the very essence of poetry in a melancholic way.

Yet what I love the most from Bécquer are his Narratives. They are a collection of Spanish legends beautifully told. You can find amongst them deadly wraiths, extrange weredeer, marble statues that can come into life, ruins, bewitching green-eyed ondines, damned souls, devilish creatures, evocations of medieval Spanish towns and forests and a poet in love with a moonbeam who might well be Bécquer himself. His prose is both poetic and compelling and can easily move in a wide range of stories, from Romantic weird infatuations from horror, from medieval times to untemporal events.

I only regret that there are so few translations of Bécquer's works into English... He is a most loved writer in Spain. His verses are the first to be read and appreciated by teenagers who usually feel reluctant to read poetry. With Bécquer they learn that Poetry are not only beautiful words, but a deep intimate feeling...

Becquer en prosa
En sus leyendas, Gustavo Adolfo Becquer emplea una bellisima prosa poetica para tratar temas tan importantes y tan romanticos como la soledad, el amor y la desesperacion, tratados en historias misteriosas y magicas que te transportan al mundo de los suenos. Profundamente refinado y emotivo.
