Salmagundi and Tour of the Prairies

Más información sobre el libro

The book features two distinct works by Washington Irving: "Salmagundi," a satirical periodical filled with humorous essays and poems that critique early 19th-century society, and "Tour of the Prairies," a vivid travelogue chronicling his 1832 journey through the American West. In the latter, Irving captures the beauty of the Great Plains and his encounters with Native American tribes and wildlife. Together, these pieces provide insight into Irving's literary genius and his role in shaping American literature and culture.
