Bram Stoker - Drakula
not available
Product description
Jonathan Harker, a young lawyer from London, travels to the Transylvanian Carpathians to the castle of the wealthy Count Dracula to help the lord of the castle buy a property in England. He has no idea what he actually owes his invitation to, what Dracula is planning, and what horrors he is about to unleash on the world with his hellish plan.
The castle gate creaks, the host greets you warmly:
I am Dracula; welcome to my house Mr. Harker!
How old is this sharp-toothed, strange castle lord: seventy?, eighty?, a hundred?
By the time Harker realizes that there are four hundred, it's almost too late, only one person can help: the Dutch expert in vampirology, Dr. Abraham van Helsing. By teaming up with him, Jonathan tries to "save the world", since - according to human calculations - he himself is included as a bride. Van Helsing knows everything: that Dracula hates sunlight, garlic and the sign of the cross, and that vampires can only be killed by a stake driven into their heart...
120 years ago, in 1897, the classic of vampire stories was published in English. Dublin-born Bram Stoker (1847-1912) heard about Dracula from Ármin Vámbéry. As a result of long research work in the library, he wrote this stifledly erotic horror, from which many stage and film adaptations were born over time. Perhaps the most memorable personification of the vampire count is the "immortal" Béla Lugosi.
Welcome to the complete translation of the work, dear reader!
