Under the editorial guidance of Wilde scholar Michael Patrick Gillespie, students have the opportunity to read comparatively both published versions of this controversial novel." ""Backgrounds" and "Reviews and Reactions" allow readers to gauge The Picture of Dorian Gray's sensational reception when the 1890 version appeared and to consider the heated public debate over art and morality that followed its publication. Joris-Karl Huysmans, Walter Pater, and Oscar Wilde offer a sense of the diverse opinions on these topics. Eight contemporary reviews and comments on the novel are reprinted, among them four opinions from the St. James's Gazette immediately after publication in 1890, each followed by Oscar Wilde's vehement reply." ""Criticism" includes seven new essays on the novel that reflect key changes in interpretive theory in recent years and reveal the broad range of perspectives associated with Wilde and The Picture of Dorian Gray. Simon Joyce, Donald L. Lawler, Sheldon W. Liebman, Maureen O'Connor, Ellie Ragland-Sullivan, John Paul Riquelme, and Michael Patrick Gillespie provide their varied assessments. A Chronology and a Selected Bibliography are also included."--BOOK JACKET.

A volume of short stories collected and published by the author's widow after his death. It explores the boundaries between life and death, known and unknown, animal and human, dream and reality.

Dracula, Bram Stoker’s 1897 Gothic vampire story, needs no introduction – a perennial on syllabuses and screens alike, generations have been enchanted and enthralled by the Count from Transylvania. But few of Dracula’s fans have heard of Dracula’s Guest, a short story following – it is thought – Jonathan Harker, as he makes his way to Transylvania, and falls prey to Walpurgis Nacht terrors when he stops off in Munich. Unpublished until after Stoker’s death, when it was collected in a volume of short stories by his widow Florence, who revealed that Stoker had intended for it to be the opening section of his great work, Dracula’s Guest is the missing chapter that will captivate all fans of Stoker’s ‘dangers from snow and wolves and night’. 'The very best story of diablerie which I have read for many years.' — Arthur Conan Doyle

Here are two great, neglected horror novels by Bram Stoker, author of "Dracula," together in one volume for the first time

The Lair of the White Worm (also known as The Garden of Evil) is a horror novel by Irish author Bram Stoker. It is partly based on the legend of the Lambton Worm. The book was published in 1911 by Rider and Son in the UK, the year before Stoker's death, with color illustrations by Pamela Colman Smith. In 1925, it was republished in a highly abridged and rewritten form. Over a hundred pages were removed, the rewritten book having only twenty-eight chapters instead of the original forty. The final eleven chapters were cut down to only five, leading some critics to complain that the ending was abrupt and inconsistent. This edition restores the full unabridged story with its original illustrations.

The Jewel of Seven Stars tells the tale of Malcolm Ross, a young barrister, pulled into an archaeologist's plot to revive Queen Tera, an ancient Egyptian mummy. Malcolm is awakened in the middle of the night and summoned to the house of famous Egyptologist Abel Trelawny at the request of his daughter, Margaret. Once Malcolm arrives at the house, he learns why he has been called - Margaret, hearing strange noises from her father's bedroom, woke to find him unconscious and bloodied on the floor of his room, under some sort of trance. Margaret reveals that her father had left a letter of strange instructions in the event of his incapacitation, stating that his body should not be removed from his room and must be watched at all times until he wakes up. The room is filled with Egyptian relics, and Malcolm notices that the "mummy smell" has an effect on those in the room.

What manner of man is this, or what manner of creature, is it in the semblance of man? I feel the dread of this horrible place overpowering me; I am in fear - in awful fear - and there is no escape for me; I am encompassed about with terrors that I dare not think of ... When lawyer Jonathan Harker travels to Transylvania to meet his client Count Dracula, he finds himself confronted with strange things: the neighbor gives him a rosary to protect him, and the bloody wound after shaving is examined by the count with a lustful look. Soon Harker recognizes: the count is a vampire! When Harker is locked in the tower to prevent his escape, things take a dire turn. The Irish writer Bram Stoker (1847-1912) created with his novel "Dracula" probably the most famous vampire in history. Even today, there are countless adaptations of the novel, which was first published in 1897, including comics, films or musicals.

This is a beautiful hardbound edition of Dracula that comes with gilded edges and elegantly designed endpapers. Dracula is an epistolary novel, written as a collection of realistic but completely fictional diary entries, telegrams, letters, ship's logs, and newspaper clippings, all of which add a level of detailed realism to Stoker's story. At the time of its publication, Dracula was considered a ' straightforward horror novel' based on imaginary creations of supernatural life. Dracula has been assigned to many literary genres including vampire literature, horror fiction, the gothic novel, and invasion literature. The novel touches on themes such as the role of women in Victorian culture, sexual conventions, immigration, colonialism, and post-colonialism. Although Stoker did not invent the vampire, he defined its modern form through this novel.

The road grew swilder and drearier and more faintly traced, and vanished at length, leaving him in the heart of the dark wilderness... -Young Goodman Brown

Mistero, terrore, manifestazioni del soprannaturale in sette classici della letteratura horror. Questa antologia non trascura nessuna delle maggiori figure dell'immaginario orrorifico: dal Dracula di Bram Stoker, al Golem di Meyrink, dal Dr. Jekyll di Stevenson al Signore del Male di Warner Munn, dal Vathek di Beckford, agli Esseri dell'Abisso di Hodgson e ai Grandi Antichi di Lovecraft. - Vathek di William Beckford (1784) - Il Dr. Jekyll e Mr. Hyde di Robert Louis Stevenson (1885) - Dracula di Bram Stoker (1897) - La Casa sull'Abisso di William Hope Hodgson (1908) - Il Golem di Gustav Meyrink (1913) - Stirpe di Lupo di Harold Warner Munn (1930) - Le Montagne della Follia di Howard Phillips Lovecraft (1936)

La verde e tormentata terra d’Irlanda è patria di alcuni dei più importanti scrittori della letteratura. Jonathan Swift, con la sua ironia sferzante, descrive nei Viaggi di Gulliver le assurdità dell’Europa settecentesca attraverso le immaginarie popolazioni di Lilliput e Brobdingnag. Sterne, con il suo Viaggio sentimentale, rompe le regole della narrativa tradizionale, concentrandosi sulle sensazioni interiori piuttosto che su paesaggi e personaggi. Con Le Fanu, entriamo nel filone ottocentesco che esplora gli aspetti più oscuri dell’esperienza umana, dando vita a capolavori del terrore come Carmilla e Dracula. Oscar Wilde, poeta geniale e sfortunato, narra la storia di Dorian Gray, un mostro dalla giovinezza sospetta. Al contrario, Yeats ci offre un mondo incantato, popolato da elfi e fantasmi, presentando una panoramica del folclore irlandese. Infine, James Joyce, con il suo capolavoro Ulisse, ha avuto un ruolo cruciale nella nascita della letteratura moderna. Attraverso il realismo minuzioso delle quindici storie di Gente di Dublino, Joyce ha elevato il racconto breve a un nuovo livello artistico, rendendolo il genere letterario più moderno.

La sola mención de Drácula hace pensar en un autor lleno de misterio, en una obra única y una vida consagrada al ocultismo y las fuerzas del mal. Nada más lejos de la realidad. Bram Stoker es el pseudónimo de Abraham Stoker, escritor que nació en Dublín en 1847 y murió en 1912. No visitó las lejanas tierras en las que Vlad el Empalador tenía sus dominios. Abraham Stoker ejerció como funcionario público desde 1866 hasta su muerte, sin salir de Irlanda y sus viajes más excitantes fueron los intelectuales. Ávido, curioso y con una profunda necesidad por saber, ocupó cargos universitarios y perteneció a sociedades científicas y literarias de su tiempo, relaciones que le valieron un sinfín de colaboraciones en periódicos y revistas. Su obra literaria, contra lo que pueda parecer, es bastante extensa. La obra de Stoker sigue las directrices de la novela gótica que se impuso en el siglo XIX, en la que la fantasía y lo sobrenatural, los parajes lejanos y misteriosos y los episodios más oscuros de la historia cobran protagonismo para lectores ávidos por evadirse de una sociedad victoriana.

Quella che presentiamo è la più vasta antologia di racconti sui fantasmi oggi disponibile. Questa raccolta, infatti, copre un arco temporale che va dal Fantasma che stava in tutte le stanze di Daniel Defoe (1712) ai giorni nostri. Tratti dalla migliore narrativa del Soprannaturale di tutto il mondo, i cento racconti proposti in questo volume testimoniano di una tendenza a considerare il Fantastico non tanto come un mondo differente e alternativo al reale, ma piuttosto come una sorta di estensione diuest'ultimo in territori normalmente inesplorati. I tetri castelli sassoni, le algide caligini delle Highlands e le desolate brughiere americane ed europee fanno da sfondo alle storie sull'Aldilà, sulle anime vaganti e sui tormenti dei d nnati e degli empi, create dai maggiori scrittori a livello mondiale.

Dracula meets manga in this surreally beautiful and chilling retelling of Bram Stoker’s quintessential horror classic. In this beautiful, evocative, and often surreal retelling of Bram Stoker's Dracula, a fearsome enemy arrives from the east, bringing with it horrors the likes of which have never been seen in the British Empire. Standing opposed are Wilhelmina “Mina” Murray and her stalwart companions, united in a cabal that eclipses gender, nationality, and station until the day that they can achieve victory. As Mina struggles to find her place as Whitby School’s first and only female student, a devilish horror is unleashed upon the academy and its unsuspecting students: Count Dracula. However, when this unspeakable evil lays claim to her beloved Lucy Westenra, Mina stands ready to join forces with her fellow students and fight against it with everything she has.

In questi quattro racconti, delle vere gemme per gli amanti del genere, Bram Stoker si conferma un abilissimo manipolatore di trame e un grande creatore di macabre atmosfere, immergendo il lettore in un mondo da incubo popolato da gatti sanguinari (La squaw), vagabondi assassini (Il funerale dei topi), lupi dai canini affilati come coltelli (L'ospite di Dracula) e fantasmi persecutori animati da una nuova vita perversa (La casa del Giudice. L'ospite di Dracula tra l'altro, rivela al lettore un sorprendente "antefatto", delizioso a leggersi con il senno del poi, che l'autore stralciò dal romanzo e che, letto oggi, acquista un sapore tutto particolare.

Nelle ore più cupe della notte le finestre cigolano, un rumore di passi si ode sulle scale, una porta inizia lentamente ad aprirsi... comincia il terrore! Dall'orrore della storia di Stephen King che non vi consentirà più di guardare la porta chiusa di un armadio senza provare un brivido di paura, alla sanguinosa soluzione dell'enigma di Lizzie Borden descritto da Robert Bloch, all'agghiacciante visione del Diavolo nascosto dietro al maschera dell'innocenza infantile come ce la racconta William F. Nolan, ecco diciassette storie del terrore scritte dai migliori autori di questo genere.

Maggie lebt an der schottischen Küste, eine unwirtliche Gegend der schroffen Felsen und des brausenden Meeres, aber auch der atemberaubenden Schönheit. Als ihr Verlobter William, Bootsführer der Küstenwache, von der Ankunft von Schmuggelware erfährt, steht sie vor einem Dilemma: Ausgerechnet ihr hoch verschuldeter Vater ist in dieses Verbrechen verwickelt, und seine Festnahme hätte schreckliche Folgen. In einer stürmischen Nacht wagt Maggi, hin- und hergerissen zwischen ihrer Liebe zu William und der zu ihrem Vater, einen gefährlichen Versuch, um beide zu schützen.

Stephen King, Anne Rice, Richard Laymon, Ray Bradbury, Riger Zelazny e molti altri maestri della narrativa dell'orrore si cimentano in queste pagine con una delle figure più inquietanti del nostro immaginario orrorifico: il Vampiro. Dopo la pubblicazione del Dracula di Bram Stoker il mito del Principe delle Tenebre ha conquistato definitivamente l'attenzione del grande pubblico. E' vero comunque che storie di vampiri erano già state scritte prima del capolavoro di Stoker. Sono proprio questi primi esempi ad aprire l'antologia, che prende poi in esame i celebri film nati sulla scia dei racconti, e si chiude con una selezione di alcune tra le tante storie brevi scritte negli ultimi anni che hanno aperto al genere nuove possibilità.

Raccolta di storie scritte da Bram Stoker per adulti e bambini. Per una buonanotte in pieno stile Stoker!

Die Gestalt des Grafen Dracula ist eine der bekanntesten literarischen Figuren der Welt. Seit im Jahr 1897 der Vampirroman Dracula des irischen Unterhaltungsschriftstellers Bram Stoker erschien, ist sie aus Literatur und Film kaum mehr wegzudenken.

Egy pillanatig láttuk csak rángó arcát, feszülé orrcimpáit, két véres szemfogát, mert áldozatát úgy lökte félre, akár a mosogatórongyot, és jött nekünk
