About the Book
"Couples in love, headless horsemen, and villagers come together in a diptych that is both magical realism and terror. In these two stories is the seed of the so-called American Gothic."--Publisher description.Book Synopsis
Parejas de enamorados, jinetes sin cabeza y aldeanos que duermen siestas de décadas confluyen en un díptico que parece al mismo tiempo realismo mágico y terror costumbrista. En estos dos relatos, Sleepy Hollow, o La leyenda del jinete sin cabeza, y Rip van Winkle, se encuentra la simiente del llamado Gótico Americano, que convirtió a Washington Irving en el primer escritor de una literatura genuinamente estadounidense, porque toda nación recién creada necesita nuevas leyendas, nuevos mitos, nuevos símbolos; en resumen, unas señas de identidad propias. Lovers, headless horsemen, and villagers who nap for decades converge in a diptych that feels like both magical realism and folkloric horror. In these two tales--Sleepy Hollow, or The Legend of the Headless Horseman, and Rip Van Winkle--we find the seeds of what would come to be known as American Gothic. These stories established Washington Irving as the first author of a truly American literature, because every newly formed nation needs new legends, new myths, new symbols--in short, its own distinct identity.About the Author
De los primeros prosistas de las Letras norteamericanas. Estudioso sin ser erudito, más que a la calidad de su obra, debe su fama al carácter de ésta. Gran parte de esa fama no le vino por lo que hizo, sino por ser el primero en hacerlo. Los primeros cuentos cortos, algo tan característico de la literatura norteamericana, los escribió él. También fue el primero que hizo del humor, de la sátira burlesca, un arma literaria. Irving se recreaba en el detalle, disfrutaba con las descripciones y siempre de una manera sencilla, sin el menor rebuscamiento. Manuel de los Reyes was one of the first prose writers of American literature, Washington Irving was a scholar without being overly academic. His fame is owed less to the quality of his work than to its pioneering nature. Much of his renown came not from what he did, but from being the first to do it. He wrote the first short stories--now a hallmark of American literature--and was also the first to turn humor and burlesque satire into literary tools. Irving delighted in detail, enjoyed descriptive writing, and always did so in a simple, unpretentious manner.Dimensions (Overall): 8.1 Inches (H) x 6.4 Inches (W) x .8 Inches (D)
