Dracula's Guest de Bram Stoker

Dracula's Guest

Autor Bram Stoker
en Limba Engleză Paperback
A few months before the lamented death of my husband-I might say even as the shadow of death was over him-he planned three series of short stories for publication, and the present volume is one of them. To his original list of stories in this book, I have added an hitherto unpublished episode from Dracula. It was originally excised owing to the length of the book, and may prove of interest to the many readers of what is considered my husband's most remarkable work. The other stories have already been published in English and American periodicals. Had my husband lived longer, he might have seen fit to revise this work, which is mainly from the earlier years of his strenuous life. But, as fate has entrusted to me the issuing of it, I consider it fitting and proper to let it go forth practically as it was left by him.

Descriere

Descriere de la o altă ediție sau format:
Dracula needs no introduction, but few of its fans have heard of Dracula's Guest, a short story following Jonathan Harker as he makes his way to Transylvania and falls prey to Walpurgis Nacht terrors when he stops off in Munich. Dracula's Guest is the missing chapter that will captivate all fans of Stoker's 'dangers from snow and wolves and night'.

Notă biografică

Bram Stoker (1847-1912), the author of Dracula, was born in Dublin in 1847. A sickly child, Bram was bedridden for much of his boyhood until about the age of seven. As a youth, Stoker was intrigued by the stories told him by his mother. Especially influential to the mind of young Stoker were the stories she related about the cholera epidemic of 1832 which claimed thousands of lives. These cruel and vivid tales began to shape the young Stoker's imagination. In 1863, having made a full recovery, Bram entered Trinity College, Dublin, where he achieved notable success not only as a mathematician and in the Philosophical Society but also as an athlete. After graduating, he made the acquaintance of celebrated stage actor, Sir Henry Irving, England's greatest interpreter of Shakespeare. Stoker spent nearly thirty years as Irving's amanuensis and as the manager of Irving's Lyceum Theatre. Irving, the heavy exposure to Shakespeare, and the world of the theatre had a profound effect on Stoker. In 1897, Stoker published his masterpiece, Dracula. While the book garnered critical success after its release, it didn't achieve peak popularity until well after its author's death. Stoker died in London, England, on April 20, 1912, after battling through years of poor health and shaky financial footing.
