导读

Apart from "Rip Van Winkle" and "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow"—the pieces which made both Irving and The Sketch Book famous—other tales range from the maudlin to the picaresque and the comical. The common thread running through The Sketch Book—and a key part of its attraction to readers—is the personality of Irving's pseudonymous narrator, Geoffrey Crayon. Erudite, charming, and never one to make himself more interesting than his tales, Crayon holds The Sketch Book together through the sheer power of his personality—and Irving would, for the rest of his life, seamlessly enmesh Crayon's persona with his own public reputation.

内容简介

本书是华盛顿·欧文的代表作。作者以旅欧生涯的所见所闻，通过高超的艺术技巧，把浪漫主义奇想和日常生活场景的真实描写、幽默和抒情结合在一起。书中不少篇章富有传奇色彩，情真意切，动人心魄，给人启迪。欧文的语言十分典雅细腻，每篇文章开头之前多引一小诗，暗示作者要表达的主题。文中大量应用比喻和排比等修辞手法，令全书文采飞扬。
