El monte de las ánimas

Gustavo Adolfo Bécquer

“The Mount of Souls” is Gustavo Adolfo Bécquer’s Gothic legend set near Soria on All Souls’ Night. Alonso tells Beatriz how the ghosts of knights and hunters return to the mountain; her request then sends him to recover a blue ribbon left there. Pride, desire, superstition, and ominous sounds build its nocturnal terror.
