by Bram StokerDracula ist ein 1897 veröffentlichter Roman des irischen Schriftstellers Bram Stoker. Die zentrale Figur, Graf Dracula, ist der wohl berühmteste Vampir der Literaturgeschichte. Der Londoner Rechtsanwalt Jonathan Harker reist auf Wunsch des Grafen Dracula nach Siebenbürgen, da dieser zuvor in London ein Haus erworben hat und nun den Kauf und die bevorstehende Überfahrt durch seinen Anwalt abklären lassen möchte. Auf der Hinfahrt bemerkt Harker einige für ihn wunderliche Dinge. Eine Anwohnerin übergibt Harker einen Rosenkranz, um ihn zu schützen. In Bistritz nimmt er eine Postkutsche und am Borgo-Pass (Tihuța-Pass) wird er von einem Kutscher abgeholt und zum Wohnsitz des Grafen begleitet. Die ersten Tage verlaufen ruhig, doch Harker wird gebeten, einige Räume nicht zu betreten, und verspricht, sich daran zu halten. Er bemerkt, dass der Graf kein Spiegelbild hat und einen gierigen Gesichtsausdruck beim Anblick von Blut bekommt, als er sich bei der Rasur schneidet. Bald wird der Graf dem jungen Engländer unheimlich, schon allein seine äußerliche Erscheinung ist seltsam: lange, sehr weiße, spitze Zähne und auffällig rote Lippen.

Dracula: Auxiliar Bup (Ldp Litt. Fantas Ser.)
by Bram StokerDracula is the ultimate horror story, producing one of literature's most lasting villains: Count Dracula. A harrowing, memorable, and enduring story about the world's most famous vampire.A true masterwork of storytelling, Dracula has transcended generation, language, and culture to become one of the most popular novels ever written. It is a quintessential tale of suspense and horror, boasting one of the most terrifying characters ever born in literature: Count Dracula, a tragic, night-dwelling specter who feeds upon the blood of the living, and whose diabolical passions prey upon the innocent, the helpless, and the beautiful. But Dracula also stands as a bleak allegorical saga of an eternally cursed being whose nocturnal atrocities reflect the dark underside of the supremely moralistic age in which it was originally written--and the corrupt desires that continue to plague the modern human condition.
Dracula (Norton Critical Editions #0)
by Bram Stoker“In Dracula, we find a monster who takes away our agency, our choice—even as he consumes us. The fantasy of becoming a vampire is a myth of exceptionalism— nobody fantasizes about being the random peasant whom the titular Count devours. Instead, people are thrilled by the thought of turning into vampires themselves—becoming the most powerful consumer, the apex predator. And until we recognize that we have far more in common with prey than predator, we will always feel the vampire's pull. I hope Norton's vital new addition to the conversation about Stoker’s work will cause readers to look at this old story with new eyes: to question our preconceptions and refocus our own narrative lenses. Dracula remains evergreen, I'm afraid—because within our monsters... we may find ourselves.” —Kate Hamill (playwright/actor) This Norton Critical Edition includes: The first edition of the novel, published by Archibald Constable in London in 1897 and chosen by the editors in order to give readers—insofar as such a thing is possible—a more historically authentic reading experience than has been generally available.

Dracula (A Stepping Stone Book(TM))
by Bram Stoker Stephanie SpinnerSince its publication in 1897, Dracula has enthralled generation after generation of readers with the same spellbinding power with which Count Dracula enthralls his victims. Though Bram Stoker did not invent vampires, and in fact based his character's life-in-death on extensive research in European folklore, his novel elevated the nocturnal creature to iconic stature, spawning a genre of stories and movies that flourishes to this day. But a century of imitations has done nothing to diminish the power of Stoker's tale. As his chilling, suave monster stalks his prey from a crumbling castle in the Carpathian Mountains of Transylvania to an insane asylum in England to the bedrooms of his swooning female victims, the drama is infused with a more and more exquisite measure of sensuality and suspense.Dracula is a classic of Gothic horror, an undying wellspring of modern mythology, and an irresistible entertainment.From the Hardcover edition.
