The Mysterious Portrait

The name of Washington Irving is primarily associated with The Legend of Sleepy Hollow and its iconic, dearly loved adaptation by several generations of mysticism enthusiasts. However, this classic of American literature has numerous other mystical works — both serious... and ironic — that this collection will introduce to readers. Here, the mysteries of enigmatic portraits are revealed, ghosts of all kinds and shapes appear with the precision and accuracy of Swiss watches, drowned souls return, the unclean forces misbehave with feeling and taste, incredible and captivating events follow one another — and, most remarkably, the reader has no idea in which case the author is frightening him for real and in which he is playfully teasing, preparing to gift the mystical story a quite realistic and humorous ending by the end.
