Tales Of The Alhambra & Chronicle Of The Conquest Of Granada by Washington Irving
A lyrical blend of travel memoir, architectural sketch, folklore and historical narrative set in Granada, evoking the enchanted atmosphere of the palace with vivid descriptions of its halls, gardens and fountains, recounting local legends and Moorish tales, and pairing those romantic impressions with a sober chronicle of the Catholic conquest and the fall of the Nasrid kingdom—producing a work that mixes antiquarian research, imaginative storytelling and melancholic nostalgia for a vanished civilization.
