Washington Irving - I racconti dell'Alhambra eBooks & eLearning

Posted by Anthias_31 at Jan. 14, 2016

(Sono venuto a Granada circa tre settimane fa, a passare un po’ di tempo qui durante la stagione più bella dell’anno… Il governatore dell’Alhambra, trovando che eravamo male alloggiati in città, ci ha dato il permesso di risiedere in un canto dell’antico palazzo moresco, in uno dei luoghi più belli, romantici, deliziosi del mondo… Mi sembra tutto assolutamente un sogno, o come se fossi sotto un incantesimo in qualche palazzo fatato»: così Irving descriveva a un amico americano l’incipit del suo soggiorno all’Alhambra, nel 1829. Ospite d’eccezione in un luogo ricco di memorie sospese tra la dura luce della storia e l’incantato chiaroscuro della leggenda, tra rovine incombenti e frammenti di un antico splendore, Irving si trasformò in un eccezionale osservatore di altrettanto straordinari personaggi, raccogliendo bozzetti, storie e leggende che si intarsiano in un irripetibile mosaico narrativo.

National Geographic - Ancient Megastructures: the Alhambra (2010) Movies

Posted by hoangnguyenvp88 at Aug. 30, 2010

The Alhambra is the greatest example of Islamic military architecture in Europe. In 1238, the Moorish Sultan Muhammad I withdrew to Granada, in southern Spain, to create a bastion that would protect his family against Christian attack. It was here, against the backdrop of war and terror that Muhammad began a construction process that would span more than one and a half centuries and create one of the most beautiful palaces in the world. But just how did he construct such an impregnable fortress? How did he raise water from the river 100 meters below, to irrigate its gardens? And why is Greek geometry a crucial part of this Muslim masterpiece? Alhambra will bring to life the ingenious engineering solutions and treacherous political betrayals that gave birth to what is arguably the most perfect example of Moorish architecture in existence.

Gerade war Boston noch mit seinen Mitschülern auf dem arabischen Seidenmarkt in Granada. Plötzlich ist alles anders: Durch ein Tor in der Zeit ist Boston im Jahr 1492 gelandet. Dort wird es für ihn lebensgefährlich. Er erweckt Misstrauen am spanischen Königshof und auf der Alhambra gerät er in die grausamen Fänge der Inquisition. Doch zwei neue Freunde, Tariq und Salomon, als Muslim und Jude selbst bedroht, stehen ihm in dieser fast ausweglosen Situation bei. Aber die Rückkehr Bostons hängt nicht nur davon ab, ob er den Schlüssel zur Gegenwart findet, sondern auch von der Entdeckung Amerikas …
