Sleepy hollow

Washington Irving is the Father of American Literature and the first professional writer in the United States. His famous “Legend of the Sleepy Poster” - the story of the mysterious horseman without a head - brought the author of worldwide fame and inspired the cult director of Tim Burton to the film, the main roles in which Johnny Depp and Christina Ricci played. The mystically gothic novels of Irving are fascinating, scared, but the main thing is read in one breath. The life of his heroes resembles a nightmare that cannot end in any way: they meet ghosts and spirits, look for damned treasures, roam in gloomy forests and valleys, mysteriously disappear and conclude a deal with the devil himself. And most importantly - they are desperately trying to understand where the dream ends and the reality begins.
