      Stoker erfand die aristokratische Figur des Grafen Dracula und verband sie mit dem historischen Vlad Dracula aus dem 15. Jahrhundert. Er ließ damit die Möglichkeit offen, dass der Stoff auf wahren Geschehnissen in Transsylvanien beruhen könnte. Dieser Band erforscht die faszinierenden Hintergründe und präsentiert Dracula so, wie Bram Stoker ihn schuf. Stoker war es, der Drama, Spannung und das Angstgefühl heraufbeschwor, das jede Szene der Erzählung durchzieht. Der behutsam gekürzte Text liegt in einer Fassung vor, die für Kinder ab zehn Jahren gut verständlich ist.

      Count Dracula has inspired countless movies, books, and plays. But few, if any, have been fully faithful to Bram Stoker's original, best-selling novel of mystery and horror, love and death, sin and redemption. Dracula chronicles the vampire's journey from Transylvania to the nighttime streets of London. There, he searches for the blood of strong men and beautiful women while his enemies plot to rid the world of his frightful power.Today's critics see Dracula as a virtual textbook on Victorian repression of the erotic and fear of female sexuality. In it, Stoker created a new word for terror, a new myth to feed our nightmares, and a character who will outlive us all.
