Alhambra is a book written by Washington Irving and published in 1881. It is a collection of essays, stories, and sketches that explore the history and culture of the Alhambra, a palace and fortress complex located in Granada, Spain. The book is divided into three parts, each of which focuses on a different aspect of the Alhambra: the first part discusses the history and architecture of the complex, the second part explores the legends and myths associated with the Alhambra, and the third part features stories and sketches of the people who lived and worked in the palace. Throughout the book, Irving uses his signature style of combining historical facts with imaginative storytelling to create a vivid and engaging portrait of the Alhambra and its cultural significance. The book is considered a classic of travel literature and has been praised for its lyrical prose, vivid descriptions, and insightful commentary on Spanish history and culture.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
