Ironie de l'histoire, ce livre, pour lequel l'auteur avait réalisé des recherches approfondies, fut au XIXe siècle l'une des sources majeures dont s'inspirèrent les historiens de la New York de la période hollandaise. C'est donc l'occasion de découvrir une époque méconnue de New York, celle de sa fondation, mais aussi de saisir les échos de la vie politique des Etats-Unis au temps de Jefferson. La présente édition est une version révisée d'une traduction française anonyme de 1827, pour la première fois rééditée, et augmentée pour tenir compte de modifications apportées ultérieurement par Washington Irving.

Summary:
Mist-shrouded landscapes and remote farmsteads represent just one of the Waldviertel’s many faces: with the expansion of Krems into a cultural center pulsing with vitality, important new architectural milestones have been set. A pronounced environmental awareness is an essential part of the Waldviertel’s identity and has also found concrete expression in the work of the region’s innovative architectural offices. The freshness of summer has been historically significant in the Waldviertel, as the public baths and villas of the interwar period attest. At the same time, along the border to the Czech Republic, paralyzed for decades by the Iron Curtain, it is the confrontation with the region’s own history that is most apparent. In short, the Waldviertel is in a state of flux, a status that its architecture both reflects and is central in shaping. The new third volume in this series is presented by Springer Publishing and addresses over 160 buildings from 1919 to the present in essays.
