Dracula's Guest

Autor Bram Stoker Introducere de Tim Dalgleish
en Limba Engleză Paperback
This is the original first chapter of Bram Stoker's Dracula, at least according to Stoker's wife, Florence Stoker (nee Balcombe). This 'deleted' chapter of the world famous novel was not published until 1914, two years after Bram Stoker's death, as part of a collection of short stories by the author. The protagonist of the story is (probably) Jonathan Harker from the novel and Count Dracula makes a brief appearance at the end but the story centres on the horrible events of Walpurgis Nacht. This unfamiliar 'first chapter' of Dracula is introduced by author and actor Tim Dalgleish."

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, born in Dublin in 1847, overcame a childhood illness to become an accomplished athlete and scholar at Trinity College. His career took a pivotal turn when he became the personal assistant to the famous actor Sir Henry Irving and managed London's Lyceum Theatre for 27 years, immersing himself in high society. While best known for his 1897 novel Dracula, Stoker wrote several other works of gothic fiction. Dracula, in particular, drew on his fascination with folklore and became an iconic influence in vampire literature and popular culture.Stoker's life was shaped by his wide range of interests, including literature, theatre, and travel. His time managing the Lyceum Theatre gave him access to London's literary and artistic circles, where he met figures like Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and Walt Whitman. His travels to places like Whitby, England, and Cruden Bay, Scotland, helped inspire the eerie settings in Dracula. Although he never visited Eastern Europe, Stoker's extensive research into its folklore gave his most famous work a haunting authenticity.In his later years, Stoker faced declining health and financial struggles, yet he remained productive until his death in 1912. Dracula was not initially recognized as a literary masterpiece but has since become one of the most influential horror novels ever written, cementing Stoker's place in literary history. His unique blend of gothic horror, folklore, and Victorian anxieties continues to captivate readers and inspire adaptations across all forms of media."
