Omschrijving
The primary vampire novel in a special hardcover edition with silver foil embossing. Count Dracula is one of the most famous literary characters in the world. Ever since the vampire novel "Dracula" by Irish writer Bram Stoker was published in 1897, it has been hard to imagine literature and film without it. The aristocratic vampire has been brought to the screen so many times that the mere mention of his name evokes a feeling of fearful anticipation. To this day, Stoker's novel about the young lawyer Harker and the demonic undead Dracula is an eerily beautiful reading experience.
Abraham Stoker, born in Dublin in 1847, was confined to bed by illness until the age of eight. After completing his studies, he initially began a career as a civil servant, but soon moved to London, where he worked for 27 years as secretary and manager to the Shakespearean actor Henry Irving. Stoker died poor and unknown in London in 1912, ten years before his Dracula became the darkest hero in world literature thanks to Murnau's film Nosferatu. Today, Bram Stoker is known almost exclusively as the spiritual father of Dracula, although he also wrote short stories, theatre criticism, lectures and 16 other novels.
