Cuando el joven estudiante Antonio de Castros decide investigar al extraño erudito que encuentra en la biblioteca de la universidad de Granada, se ve envuelto en una aventura inesperada. Las ruinas de la Granada nazarí sirven como telón de fondo para una historia ambientada en una España donde el tiempo parece haberse detenido en la Edad Media. Los secretos de la alquimia, la búsqueda de la piedra filosofal, las intrigas del libertino don Ambrosio de Loxa, el amor por Inés y los calabozos de la Inquisición son los elementos centrales de esta novela gótica de Washington Irving, que recrea literariamente una ciudad que él contribuyó a hacer famosa.
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.
