If you like poetry and you can read spanish, then you must read this book. Its incredible

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.
