Book summary

In the Spain of old legends, a hunter finds a woman with green eyes beside a hidden spring. A young poet runs through the night after an unknown woman who may be nothing but a moonbeam. Elsewhere, a blind organist plays music that lives on after death.

This collection brings together six of these tales, somewhere between dream and shiver. Bécquer, a great poet of Spanish Romanticism, tells them as if by the fireside, in a simple, musical style.

Each tale is short and can be read in one sitting in the language you are learning.

The plot

遺失的藍絲帶,亡靈之夜。在西班牙的索里亞,這是諸聖節的傍晚。年輕獵人阿隆索什麼都不怕,他送給美麗的表妹貝亞特麗絲一件首飾。她說本想把藍絲帶留給他作紀念,卻在靈魂山上弄丟了。據說那一夜,亡靈會回到那裡。

The world of the book

西班牙的古城。這些傳說中有幾篇發生在索里亞,一座卡斯提亞古城,位於杜羅河畔,周圍是修道院廢墟和林木茂密的群山。另一篇發生在西班牙南部的塞維亞。其中一篇裡,敘述者在夜裡伴著鐘聲,寫下他在索里亞當地聽來的故事。
