In this work, Washington Irving combines travel writing with oral tradition and recreates the legends he collected during his stay in Granada in 1829: stories of treasures, captives and apparitions linked to the halls, courtyards and towers of the Alhambra, along with scenes of the city and its characters from a romantic perspective.
Third edition of the Travel and customs collection, published in 2005; includes 32 pages of full-colour plates and engravings from the period.
Work of interest for readers of travel literature, Spanish history and traditional tales.
Washington Irving was an American short-story writer, essayist, biographer, historian, and diplomat of the early 19th century. He wrote the short stories "Rip Van Winkle" (1819) and "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow" (1820), both of which appear in his collection The Sketch Book of Geoffrey Crayon, Gent. His historical works include biographies of Oliver Goldsmith, Muhammad, and George Washington, as well as several histories of 15th-century Spain that deal with subjects such as the Alhambra, Christopher Columbus, and the Moors. Irving served as the American ambassador to Spain in the 1840s.
