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

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.
