Sinopsis de THE STUDENT'S LIFE OF WASHINGTON; CONDENSED FROM THE LARGER WORK OF WASHINGTON IRVING

In "The Students Life of Washington; Condensed from the Larger Work of Washington Irving," Washington Irving encapsulates the monumental life of AmericaÄôs first president, George Washington, through a narrative that balances biographical detail with engaging storytelling. The text exemplifies Irvings hallmark style, characterized by a fluent prose that blends historical fact with romantic embellishment, all while situating Washington within the broader context of American nation-building. This condensation maintains the essential elements of the larger work while making it more accessible, particularly for young readers or those unfamiliar with Washingtons legacy. IrvingÄôs intent was to inspire admiration for WashingtonÄôs resilience and virtue, positioning the generals experiences as foundational for the American spirit. Washington Irving, often hailed as the father of American literature, brought a unique perspective to his writing, shaped by his own experiences as a historian and an early American author. Influenced by the romantic ideals of his time and deeply aware of AmericaÄôs burgeoning identity, Irving dedicated much of his work to chronicling the lives of significant figures. His admiration for Washington, both as a leader and a symbol of American ideals, is evident throughout this work, as he aimed to immortalize WashingtonÄôs contributions in a manner that would resonate with future generations. This book is highly recommended for readers seeking an engaging introduction to the life of George Washington, written by one of Americas most beloved authors. Ideal for students and history enthusiasts alike, Irvings depiction provides insight into the character and leadership of Washington while also reflecting the broader themes of patriotism and virtue in American history. This concise yet profound narrative is a perfect starting point for anyone wishing to understand the man behind the myth.

Escrito por Washington Irving


Washington Irving
Nació en Nueva York, el 30 de abril de 1783. Realizó estudios de Derecho, pero su vocación se interesaba más por el periodismo y la escritura que por la abogacía. En 1802 comenzó a escribir artículos en periódicos de Nueva York. En 1815 se fue a vivir a Liverpool y allí trabó amistad con importantes hombres de letras: sir Walter Scott y Thomas Moore, entre otros. Escribió algunos ensayos y relatos bajo el seudónimo de Geoffrey Crayon. En Madrid perteneció al cuerpo diplomático de su país. Nuevamente en Estados Unidos en 1846, regresó a Sunnyside, su casa de campo, y allí falleció el 28 de noviembre de 1859.
