Relato del viaje de Washington Irving a los Lugares Colombinos. / Account of Washington Irving's travel to the Columbus Memorial Places. Edición bilingüe / Bilingual Edition

Im Frühling 1829 machte der Verfasser dieses Werkes, den die Neugierde nach Spanien geführt hatte, in Gesellschaft eines Freundes, einem Mitgliede der russischen Gesandtschaft zu Madrid, eine Reise von Sevilla nach Granada. Der Zufall hatte uns aus verschiedenen Regionen des Erdballs zusammengeführt und eine Gleichartigkeit des Geschmacks veranlaßte uns gemeinschaftlich in Andalusiens romantischen Bergen umher zu wandern. Wenn ihm diese Blätter zu Gesicht kommen, wohin auch die Pflichten seines Berufes ihn geschleudert haben, ob er an dem Gepränge der Höfe teilnehme, oder über den echteren Glanz der Natur nachsinne, mögen sie die Szenen unserer abenteuerlichen Genossenschaft und mit ihnen die Erinnerung an jemand zurückrufen, bei dem weder Zeit noch Entfernung das Andenken an sein einnehmendes Wesen und seinen Wert verlöschen werden.Der Neusatz des Textes folgt der Ausgabe von Frankfurt 1832, erschienen im Verlag Johann David Sauerländer als Teil von »Gottfried Crayon's Skizzenbuch«. Die Illustrationen stammen aus der Ausgabe Boston etc. 1916, erschienen im Verlag The Athenaeum Press, Ginn and Company. Der Übersetzer ist anonym. Die Rechtschreibung wurde nach den Regeln der Alten deutschen Rechtschreibung behutsam modernisiert.
