Commemorative edition of the 150th anniversary of the death of Washington Irving. The Alhambra, a collection of tales and sketches of Moors and Spaniards - the original title of the book - is a sympathetic and generous work, whose conception goes beyond the usual work of bringing together a series of narratives and integrating them on the basis of a romantic genre vision. In addition to explaining how the author arrived in Granada, why the Alhambra was his place of residence and the sadness felt when distant affairs made departure obligatory, Irving offers us a cordial and kindly portrait of the real people with whom he shared his stay in the place and fantasises with stories and legends that have a common link: the Alhambra.
