Review

Si es posible, publicad mis versos. Tengo el presentimiento de que muerto sere mas y mejor conocido que vivo. Con esta recomendacion a su amigo Ferran, Gustavo era enterrado y Becquer iba a nacer para la poesia. Gustavo Adolfo Becquer es un poeta sencillo y contemporaneo. Sus ""Rimas"", aparentemente faciles, son el testimonio de un hombre que poseia unas extraordinarias dotes de expresion y una gran capacidad de sintesis: la dificil sencillez de lo autentico. El secreto de Becquer esta en haber sabido llegar por igual al pueblo, a la burguesia, a los poetas y a los estudiosos de su obra, y el misterio de esas famas paralelas no tiene equivalente en toda la poesia espanola. Esta edicion de sus ""Rimas"" constituye una nueva lectura de su poesia desde una optica moderna y a partir de un documentado conocimiento de los mas intimos detalles de su vida y de la profundidad de su obra. --Los editores --This text refers to an alternate Paperback edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Prince of Modern Spanish-Language Poets, July 4, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Rimas (Clasicos Espa~noles) (Spanish Edition) (Paperback)

"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.

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