Happy birthday, Washington Irving (b. 4/3/1783)!
Like his character Rip Van Winkle, I would also like sleep for 20 years and miss out on the next American Revolution.

All sorts of things are wrong in my life, but all sorts of things are right too.
I can share an example of the latter. As I sit with a glass of White Horse, I am trying to decide which of these two books to read next:
Washington Irving -- Tales of the Alhambra
Franz Werfel -- The Forty Days of Musa Dagh
I'm lucky to be faced with such a choice.

Today is Washington Irving's birthday, and I'm teaching "Rip Van Winkle" in my first class on US literature through the short story. Rip goes to sleep for 20 years and wakes up to find that the American Revolution happened and King George has been replaced by George Washington.
I would like some of that now please.

@Swede1952 Good morning—and, as always, lovely snap-shot.
I dabble in narration, so please excuse this unsolicited link to one of my readings.

Published in 1809, Washington Irving's 'A History of New York' contains the oldest-known depiction of aliens as green men. The satirical tale imagines a civilization of moon-dwelling "Lunatics" that have green skin, one eye and carry their heads under their arms.

Many years ago I wrote in a forum what really happened on Oct.12, 1492 - in fact the 20th or 21st- For me it's incomprehensible that it continues to be said that cosmographers thought that The Earth was flat facing Columbus who said it was spherical that is a story by #WashingtonIrving
Other lies continue mainly about who #Columbus really was,and what he had promised to Catholic Monarchs,who really influenced them and power struggles around Monarchs and who allocated money for travel. -
The evening begins with Pärt, Haydn, and Schubert by the Takács Quartet.

"In Irving, we find the direction of American literature and its ambivalence about values and meaning. He was a localist creating a national myth, interested in the people and history around him. He was also a cosmopolitan looking across states, oceans, and time. Whether at home or abroad, Irving found something of importance."

Gestern ausgelesen. Ich war abgetaucht in die Welt der Sagen rund um die Alhambra von #Granada, den Alcazar von #Sevilla und #Cordoba, aber auch in Berichte über das damalige Leben … was für eine Welt ging da durch die „Rückeroberung“ verloren, als man wieder in finstere katholische Zeiten versank… zum Glück blieb noch etwas erhalten. Erfüllen wir es mit Leben durch Erhaltung und Frieden untereinander (auf allen Seiten), um blühende Länder zu bewahren.
Man kann #WashingtonIrving nicht mehr danken, dass er alles aus seiner Sicht aufschrieb, ein Denk-mal sei ihm aber auch hier gesetzt.
#Reiselektüre #Andalusien #SpanienEine Frage bleibt: Warum schafft es die Menschheit nicht, in Frieden zum Wohle der Erde und ihrer Bewohner miteinander zu leben?
