LA AJORCA DE ORO
Gustavo Adolfo Bécquer, b. 1836 in Seville, d. 1870,—journalist, writer of short stories and poet. His tales are mostly legendary, and are imbued with a morbid mysticism. Bécquer is primarily a poet, for even his prose has the poetic fancy and, to a large extent, the music of verse. His lyric verse is perhaps the most finished that was written in Spain during the nineteenth century. Bécquer left only three volumes of prose and verse.
