Spanish Through the Legends of Bécquer

Published between 1858 and 1865, the legends of Gustavo Adolfo Bécquer look backward into Spain's past and open the door to the fantastic.

With vocabulary and grammar help, quizzes for every story, and free audio and resources available on our website, this book is both an introduction to one of the great voices of the Spanish literary world and a powerful, enjoyable way to build your Spanish through unforgettable legends.
