Dracula's Guest de Bram Stoker

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 (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.
