'The Devil and Tom Walker' by Washington Irving is a retelling of the Faust legend, following the story of Tom Walker, a miserly and cruel man who makes a deal with the Devil to become wealthy. The plot unfolds with Walker trying to outwit the Devil and keep his soul, despite a lifetime of usury and the deal he agreed upon. The writing style of Irving is praised for creating a dark and atmospheric setting, with well-crafted descriptions of the swamp and elements of humor throughout the narrative.
