Book Description
Parejas de enamorados, jinetes sin cabeza y aldeanos que duermen siestas de dé cadas confluyen en un dí ptico que parece al mismo tiempo realismo má gico 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 Gó tico Americano, que convirtió a Washington Irving en el primer escritor de una literatura genuinamente estadounidense, porque toda nació n recié n creada necesita nuevas leyendas, nuevos mitos, nuevos sí mbolos; en resumen, unas señ as de identidad propias.
