| Summary |
"Obras escogidas" by Gustavo Adolfo Bécquer is a collection of selected works written in the late 19th century. The book encompasses various poetic and narrative forms, delving into themes of love, beauty, and the supernatural, often drawing upon Bécquer's deep connection to nature and the human experience. The poignant expressiveness of his poetry and prose captures the essence of Romanticism, making it resonate with readers who appreciate lyrical and reflective literature. The beginning of the collection introduces the reader to a heartfelt prologue celebrating the life and legacy of Bécquer, highlighting the poet's profound emotional landscape and the spiritual connection he shared with his homeland, Sevilla. It discusses the efforts taken to erect a monument in his honor, symbolizing a collective appreciation for his contribution to Spanish literature. Following this, the introduction hints at the themes present in his stories and poems, where the line between reality and fantasy is often blurred, inviting the reader to explore the myths and legends of everyday life intertwined with Bécquer's own experiences and emotions.
