«Cuentos de la Alhambra» is Washington Irving's collection of tales, published by Edilux in paperback (304 pages, in Spanish).
Washington Irving brings together in this volume legends and traditions inspired by the Alhambra in Granada, the monument at the heart of all the stories. The work combines history, myths and descriptions of the Nasrid palace, recreating tales from the Spanish oral tradition with the narrative tone of nineteenth-century literature.
This Spanish-language edition, published in 1995, includes a CD with the narration by Paco Santiago and the original soundtracks of Granada de Cerca and Andalucía de Cerca.
For readers of nineteenth-century classic literature, travel writing and lovers of Spain's historical and cultural heritage.
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.
