«Sono venuto a Granada circa tre settimane fa, a passare un po’ di tempo qui durante la stagione più bella dell’anno... Il governatore dell’Alhambra, trovando che eravamo male alloggiati in città, ci ha dato il permesso di risiedere in un canto dell’antico palazzo moresco, in uno dei luoghi più belli, romantici, deliziosi del mondo... Mi sembra tutto assolutamente un sogno, o come se fossi sotto un incantesimo in qualche palazzo fatato»: così Irving descriveva a un amico americano l’incipit del suo soggiorno all’Alhambra, nel 1829. Ospite d’eccezione in un luogo ricco di memorie sospese tra la dura luce della storia e l’incantato chiaroscuro della leggenda, tra rovine incombenti e frammenti di un antico splendore, Irving si trasformò in un eccezionale osservatore di altrettanto straordinari personaggi, raccogliendo bozzetti, storie e leggende che si intarsiano in un irripetibile mosaico narrativo.

Upon his 1829 arrival in Granada, Spain, American author Washington Irving was immediately charmed by the city's beauty and picturesque qualities. While researching a book on the conquest of Granada, he gained access to the Alhambra Palace, which had fallen into disrepair after years of neglect. Irving became a guest at the ancient fortress, where he found himself in the company of several colorful inhabitants. During his sojourn, the writer became increasingly enamored of the grand palace and its wealth of history and folklore. The result is this captivating collection of essays, sketches, and tales. As Irving notes in his Preface, "It was my endeavor scrupulously to depict its half Spanish, half Oriental character; its mixture of the heroic, the poetic, and the grotesque; to revive the traces of grace and beauty fast fading from its walls; to record the regal and chivalrous traditions concerning those who once trod its courts; and the whimsical and superstitious legends of the motley race now burrowing among its ruins." A must-read for modern-day visitors to the Alhambra, this edition presents a fascinating selection of Irving's observations and stories.

"But when he found himself across the Pyrenees, - for the first time, he lost himself in a country ..." Surrounded by all this beauty, Irving "recreated the strangest, most gifted, most unreal monarchy that ever reared its fabric for a time in Europe." Irving's "Tales from the Alhambra" were born ...

Rough draughts of some of the following tales and essays were actually written during a residence in the Alhambra; others were subsequently added, founded on notes and observations made there. Care was taken to maintain local coloring and verisimilitude; so that the whole might present a faithful and living picture of that microcosm, that singular little world into which I had been fortuitously thrown; and about which the external world had a very imperfect idea.
