Cuentos de la Alhambra
'Cuentos de la Alhambra' Summary
Washington Irving, un escritor estadounidense, viajó a Granada, España, en 1828 y quedó cautivado por la Alhambra, un palacio morisco que domina la ciudad. En 'Cuentos de la Alhambra,' Irving combina sus experiencias de viaje, historias y leyendas locales, e investigaciones históricas para crear una colección de ensayos y cuentos. El libro ofrece una visión poética de la Alhambra, explorando su belleza arquitectónica, la historia de los reyes y reinas moros que la habitaron, y las leyendas que se tejen a su alrededor. Irving nos introduce a personajes míticos y reales, como el rey Boabdil, el último rey moro de Granada, y la encantadora reina Aixa. El libro nos transporta a un mundo de amor, intriga, y la melancolía de una cultura en declive, reflejando la riqueza histórica y cultural de Granada.Book Details
