Publisher Description

Dos jóvenes caballeros, que han sido amigos durante toda su vida, se han enamorado de la misma dama, doña Inés. A partir de ese momento, se enfrentan, y empieza a surgir el odio entre ellos.

Como consecuencia del supuesto favor que Doña Inés presta a uno de ellos, deciden los caballeros batirse en duelo, y corren por las calles de Toledo buscando un lugar iluminado donde poder hacerlo sin que nadie les moleste.

Encuentran un pequeño altar en el que, levemente iluminado, se distingue un Cristo con una calavera a sus pies; y, desenvainando las espadas, empiezan a acometerse. Pero curiosamente, en el mismo momento que cruzan sus espadas, se extingue la luz del candil que ilumina al Cristo, que vuelve a aparecer en el momento en que las separan…

Al suceder lo mismo varias veces, se dan cuenta que aquello parece ser una señal que pretende que no rompan su amistad, esa que habían jurado mantener eternamente.

About Gustavo Adolfo Bécquer

Gustavo Adolfo Bécquer (1836–1870) was a poet and author of the late Romantic period and is one of the first modern Spanish poets. He was born Gustavo Adolfo Domínguez Bastida in Seville and, like his father and brother (both painters) signed his works with the last name of his ancestors: Bécquer. Bécquer’s prose centers around the themes of love, death, and the world beyond and are characterized by their medieval settings, supernatural characters, and their dreamlike atmosphere.
