Maggiori informazioni sul libro

In The Sketch-Book Washington Irving explores the uneasy relationship of an American writer to English literary traditions. He sketches a series of encounters with the cultural shrines of the parent nation, and in two brilliant experiments with tales transplanted from Europe creates the first classic American short stories, Rip Van Winkle' and The Legend of the Sleepy Hollow'.
