This debut book explores Torrey’s distinctive approach: a seamless blending of cool, clean, modern designs with opulent finishes, sumptuous materials, and a reverence for the historical and vintage. A passion for contemporary art and an approach combining modern glamour with effortless charm also define Torrey’s signature.

Aunque fraguadas sobre todo entre 1858 y 1861, las Rimas están integradas por piezas compuestas a lo largo de casi quince años, hasta el momento de la muerte de Bécquer, sin alcanzar una ordenación definitiva. Los temas dominantes son los propios de la poesía amorosa de todos los tiempos, como la melancolía y la incomunicación, modulados por toda la tradición aprendida (desde el clasicismo grecolatino hasta los romanticismos de escuela, pasando por la literatura del Siglo de Oro) y prestando atención a procedimientos propios de la literatura de consumo, como el sentimentalismo del folletín, la dramatización de la vida privada, la métrica de la zarzuela o el tono de la poesía alemana y de la balada de mediados de siglo.
