Beskrivning
HarperCollins is proud to present our range of timeless literary classics.‘We are in Transylvania; and Transylvania is not England. Our ways are not your ways, and there shall be to you many strange things.’Earnest and naive solicitor Jonathan Harker travels to Transylvania to organise the estate of the infamous Count Dracula at his crumbling castle in the ominous Carpathian Mountains. Through notes and diary entries, Harker keeps track of the horrors and terrors that beset him at the castle, telling his fiancé Mina of the Count’s supernatural powers and his own imprisonment. Although Harker eventually manages to escape and reunite with Mina, his experiences have led to a mental breakdown of sorts.Meanwhile in England, Mina’s friend Lucy has been bitten and begins to turn into a vampire. With the help of Professor Van Helsing, a previous suitor of Lucy’s, Seward, and Lucy’s fiancé Holmwood attempt to thwart Count Dracula and his attempts on Lucy and consequently Mina’s life.Arguably the most enduring Gothic novel of the 19th Century, Bram Stoker’s Dracula is as chilling today in its depiction of the vampire world and its exploration of Victorian values as it was at its time of publication.

  1. 4/5 Patrik Ö

    När jag läste Dracula som ung var den en av mina största läsupplevelser. Det gäller fortfarande, tre decennier senare. Inte bästa boken jag läst, men under rätt förutsättningar (gärna en höstkväll på verandan) har den mycket att ge. Det är en stark skildring av kampen mellan det goda och det onda och den visar på en verklighet som är sann - det enda som biter mot ondskan är Katolicismen (i Dracula i form av vigvatten och krucifix). Rekommenderad läsning. Obligatorisk läsning för alla skulle jag vill jag säga.
