Book excerpt: Questo racconto in stile gotico, reso celebre dal film omonimo, è stato scritto da Washington Irving nel 1819. "La leggenda di Sleepy Hollow" e il racconto successivo, "Il fidanzato fantasma", ironizzano sulle superstizioni e sulla credulità popolare, facendo intravedere spiegazioni ben più banali. Completano la raccolta quattro dei noti "Racconti dell'Alhambra" ( "Il tesoro incantato", "Manco il governatore", La leggenda dell'arabo astrologo" e "La rosa dell'Alhambra" ) che Irving scrisse durante la sua residenza in Spagna in qualità di ambasciatore degli Stati Uniti.

Book excerpt: Introduzione di Goffredo Fofi Traduzione di Chiara Vatteroni Edizione integrale Il libro degli schizzi (The Sketch Book of Geoffrey Crayon, Gent., di cui proponiamo la traduzione integrale) è considerato il capolavoro di Washington Irving. Tra le tante storie fantastiche raccolte nel volume ricordiamo quella di Rip Van Winkle e del suo misterioso e bizzarro viaggio nel tempo; de Lo sposo fantasma, con il suo sorprendente finale; ma soprattutto l’avventura mozzafiato che si svolge nella brumosa vallata di Sleepy Hollow, battuta da uno spettrale cavaliere senza testa in sella a un possente stallone nero. Ichabod Crane, uno strano maestro di scuola, dovrà vedersela con lui, perché il fantasma si frappone tra il giovane e la bellissima Katrina, di cui Ichabod è innamorato. Pur di conquistare l’amore della ragazza, il maestro (che nella famosa versione cinematografica ha il volto di Johnny Depp) andrà incontro ad avventure pericolose, avvincenti e, naturalmente, dense di mistero. «Lo spirito che più di tutti tormenta questa regione incantata, e sembra essere il comandante in capo di tutte le forze dell’aria, è lo spettro di un cavaliere con il capo mozzato. Si dice sia il fantasma di un soldato della cavalleria assiana, che finì decapitato da una palla di cannone in una delle tante battaglie della guerra di indipendenza, e che i contadini vedono spesso galoppare a spron battuto nel buio della notte come trasportato sulle ali del vento.» Washington Irving nacque a New York nel 1783. Avviato agli studi giuridici, si mostrò sempre insofferente alla rigidità dell’ambiente accademico preferendo, per la sua formazione, la lettura dei classici inglesi e l’amicizia di uomini di lettere e di teatro. Viaggiatore instancabile, colto e curioso, Irving visse a lungo in Spagna e in Inghilterra e proprio in Europa scrisse la sua opera più importante, The Sketch Book of Geoffrey Crayon, Gent., trasferendo i temi del folklore del vecchio continente nel nuovo mondo. L’opera lo consacrò come primo autore americano a essere annoverato tra i classici della lingua inglese. Morì il 28 novembre del 1859 nei pressi di Tarrytown, vale a dire nello stesso villaggio in cui è ambientato Il mistero di Sleepy Hollow.

Si dice che la valle sia infestata dallo spettro di un diabolico cavaliere senza testa, che si aggira nella notte in sella al suo destriero nero. Si tratta solo di sciocche superstizioni, oppure le storie contengono un fondo di verità? Ichabod Crane, umile maestro di campagna invaghito della bella ereditiera Katrina Van Tassel, non ha nessuna intenzione di scoprirlo. Eppure una sera, mentre attraversa il bosco di ritorno da una festa, le ombre che affollano la sua fervida immaginazione si trasformano in un vero e proprio incubo...

ABOUT THE BOOK: Original publication: 1820 The Legend of Sleepy Hollow has been a classic of American literature for nearly two centuries. This book is a delightful book about the schoolmaster Ichabod Crane and his mishaps with the town's specter, known as the Headless Horseman. Written by Washington Irving, America's first international author, and edited and formatted for your Kindle, this eBook is sure to be the perfect addition to your collection of American classics. The "Legend" relates the tale of Ichabod Crane, a lean, lanky and extremely superstitious schoolmaster from Connecticut, who competes with Abraham "Brom Bones" Van Brunt, the town rowdy, for the hand of 18-year-old Katrina Van Tassel, the daughter and sole child of a wealthy farmer, Baltus Van Tassel. Crane, a Yankee and an outsider, sees marriage to Katrina as a means of procuring Van Tassel's extravagant wealth. Bones, the local hero, vies with Ichabod for Katrina's hand, playing a series of pranks on the jittery schoolmaster – who later comes “face to face” with the town specter known as the Headless Horseman.
