Description
This book offers an in-depth analysis of the presence of the literary Orient in the work of Gustavo Adolfo Bécquer, an essential figure of Spanish Romanticism. Through his Legends and Rhymes, Bécquer recreates a poetic universe where the Arab-Andalusian and the Hindu merge with the Western romantic sensibility, giving shape to a discourse full of mystery, spirituality and symbolism.Far from conceiving Orientalism as an exotic look towards the foreign, the Sevillian author transforms it into an expression of cultural identity, recognizing in Spain's Arab past an inheritance of its own. The study shows how Bécquer uses Arab and Hindu myths, rites and traditions to construct a new aesthetic, in which the Orient becomes a metaphor for the ideal and the eternal. This work invites us to rediscover Becquerian literature from an intercultural perspective, demonstrating that the East not only inspired the West, but also transformed it, giving rise to one of the most original forms of Spanish romantic orientalism.
