The Life And Voyages Of Christopher Columbus / Washington Irving. - [miejsce nieznane] : Jazzybee Verlag : Legimi, 2013.

Autor

Irving Washington.

Forma i typ

E-booki

Irving's extensive work on Christopher Columbus is one of the most famous biographies in American history. The name of Washington Irving, prefixed to any work, is in itself a sufficient earnest of liberal sentiment and graceful composition. With generous principles and pure intellectual tastes, he unquestionably unites literary talents of no common order. The subject, also, which he has here chosen for the exercise of his powers, is one, if not of any real novelty, at least abounding both in romantic excitement and philosophical interest. It is a subject in many respects, congenial to his own poetical cast of feeling, his imaginative temperament, his amiable and enlightened spirit, and, above all, to his national enthusiasm as a citizen of that continent, of which the discovery has immortalised the fame of his hero. Endowed with such qualifications, and thus inspired by characteristic fondness for his design, it was easy to anticipate the degree of his success in its accomplishment; and it is needless to say, that he has produced a very amusing and elegant book.

The Life Of Mahomet / Washington Irving. - [miejsce nieznane] : Jazzybee Verlag : Legimi, 2014.

Autor

Irving Washington.

Forma i typ

E-booki

The poverty of our literature in reference to Mahomet and Mahometanism is so conspicuous and so inconvenient that we may well receive with gratitude the author's very able endeavour to relieve it. With freedom from prejudice and independence of judgment, he combines an extensive and intimate knowledge of the most authentic sources of information, and, after several years of labour, has produced this volume in the hope of contributing to the complete elucidation and final settlement of Mahomet's real character and claims. After a careful examination of them, and after comparing them with those of sundry of his predecessors and contemporaries, it appears to us that the author has abundant reason to be gratified with the success he has achieved. Most conscientiously prepared, and based on authorities whom the Moslems themselves appeal to as decisive, his work may be used with equal confidence both by the historian and the controversialist. We heartily commend it to every one who, on so important a subject, desires to have what, on the whole, is probably the best and most complete book in any language, and shall avail. ourselves of it and of other sources of information, in this paper, to present a few of the leading events of the Prophet's life, with a view to a brief illustration of his character and of the means and meaning of his success.

Irving's most famous work is - without doubt - this book.

Among the most prominent stories are "Rip Van Winkle" and "The Legend Of Sleepy Hollow."

Autor

Irving Washington.

Forma i typ

E-booki

Washington Irving's 'The Sketch Book of Geoffrey Crayon' is a collection of essays and short stories that blend genres of fiction and non-fiction. Written in a gentle and humorous tone, this book captures the essence of early 19th-century American society and explores themes of nostalgia, romanticism, and the supernatural. The literary style of Irving is characterized by vivid descriptions, rich symbolism, and a keen eye for detail, making the reader feel fully immersed in each story. This complete edition includes all volumes of 'The Sketch Book' series, offering a comprehensive look into Irving's imaginative world. Irving's use of pseudonyms and fictional narrators adds an interesting layer to the text, inviting readers to question the boundaries between reality and fiction. Washington Irving, inspired by his travels in Europe and his love for folklore and mythology, created 'The Sketch Book' as a way to explore his own cultural identity and reflect on the changing landscape of America during his time. His unique blend of American and European literary influences sets him apart as a pioneering figure in the development of American literature. I highly recommend 'The Sketch Book of Geoffrey Crayon' to readers who enjoy classic literature, historical fiction, and tales of the supernatural. Irving's masterful storytelling and deep understanding of human nature make this collection a timeless and captivating read.

The stories are dealing, for the most part, with after-Moorish period in which the Alhambra has been managed as a possession of the Spanish kings and was left to decay. "Tales of the Alhambra" is translated into many languages and is considered one of the most important works of the author. During Irving's stay in Spain, after the success of his previous books, he was invited to stay at the palace of the Duke of Gor, who gave him unfettered access to his library containing many medieval manuscripts.

Voyages And Discoveries Of The Companions Of Columbus / Washington Irving. - [miejsce nieznane] : Jazzybee Verlag : Legimi, 2014.

Autor

Irving Washington.

Forma i typ

E-booki

We are here presented with a good addition to Mr. Irving's Life of Columbus. None of the disciples of that great man achieved discoveries equal to his, and many of them were actuated by motives more questionable than the desire to extend our knowledge of the globs on which we live. To secure the first fruits of the pearl fisheries of Paris and Cubaga, or to explore the coast of Veragua, which Columbus had represented as the Aurea Chersonesus of the ancients, contented the ambition of many of his immediate followers. Some there were, however, who did more ; especially Vasco Nunez de Balboa, whose discovery of the Pacific Ocean forms one of the most beautiful and striking incidents In the history of the New World; and Juan Ponce de Leon, the conqueror of Porto Rico, and discoverer of Florida. Of all the captains and admirals sent out by Spain to follow up what Columbus had begun, Vasco Nunez is our favorite; and there are points in his history, that make us pause with wonder and admiration at the daring spirit of the man who surmounted, by his courage and perseverance, so many appalling difficulties ; not the least of which was the piecemeal transportation across the then untraversed mountains of Darien, of the first European ships that ploughed the waves of the Pacific. Nunez was a follower worthy of Columbus.

Wolfert's Roost / Washington Irving. - [miejsce nieznane] : Jazzybee Verlag : Legimi, 2014.

Autor

Irving Washington.

Forma i typ

E-booki

Several papers were written by Irving in 1839 and the following year, for the " Knickerbocker," a monthly periodical conducted by his friend, Lewis Gaylord Clark, all of them such as he only could write. They were afterward collected into a volume, entitled " Wolfert'sRoost," from the ancient name of that beautiful residence of his on the banks of the Hudson, in which they were mostly written. They were, perhaps, read with more interest in the volume than in the magazine, just as some paintings of the highest merit are seen with more pleasure in the artist's room than on the walls of an exhibition.
