Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Granada: Present and Bygone No city in Spain possesses so much fascination for the foreigner as the old Moorish capital of Granada. Toledo boasts a greater antiquity, Seville may flaunt a larger share of sensuous beauty, but the mysterious charm of the City of the Moor is irresistible. Few that set foot in the halls of the Alhambra escape the spell that legend has woven about the palace - the spell which inspired the pen of Washington Irving and by him communicated to his Anglo-Saxon contemporaries. Since Prescott revealed Granada as a second Troy and glorified the campaigns of the Catholic Sovereigns into a fifteenth-century Iliad, the keenest rays of criticism and the coldest surveys have failed to dispel the glamour which makes the city the Mecca of every pilgrimage beyond the Pyrenees. To the Spaniard Granada is an epitome of seven centuries of national aspiration and endeavour. It is at once the coping stone of the edifice of Spanish nationality, the noblest monument of a vanished civilisation, the high-water mark of Moslem culture.
