Washington Irving

    3. apríl 1783 – 28. november 1859

    Washington Irving bol americký autor, esejista, životopisec a historik z počiatku 19. storočia. Vyniká svojimi pôsobivými poviedkami, ktoré majstrovsky zachytávajú americkú krajinu a folklór. Jeho diela sa často zaoberajú témami identity, pamäti a kultúrneho prechodu, pričom skúmajú zložitosť americkej skúsenosti prostredníctvom pútavého a opisného štýlu.
