Dracula Annotated
註釋

Bram Stoker's Dracula, published in 1897, is

a horror novel that tells the story of young

protagonists in the world of vampirism and

the thirst for power presented by the famous

Dracula. Discover this literary classic

that significantly influenced the world of

entertainment.

One of the most spectacular novels of

the 19th century, Dracula Bram Stoker still

frightens his readers today as he did more

than a century ago. The story of Terror,

such as The Metamorphosis and Frankenstein's,

has become a modern myth and has

been interpreted countless times on stage,

radio, television, and film.

xi

Dracula Bram Stoker combined Central

European folk tales of nosferatu, or the undead,

with historical accounts of the prince

of the fifteenth century, Vlad the Impaler,

who allegedly impaled 100,000 victims and

received the epithet Dracula (a derivative of

the Romanian drac or "devil"). Critics have

seen the vampirism of history as a Victorian

literary sublimation of sexuality.

A sequel to the 2009 original Dracula:

The Un-Dead, based on the novelist's notes

and excisions, was written by Dacre Stoker

(author's great-grandson) and Ian Holt. It

was set in London in 1912 and featured

Bram Stoker as a character. You may want

to know another novel genre like The

Feather Pillow, which is also creepy.

Bram Stoker's novel Dracula takes place

with young real estate lawyer Jonathan

Harker and his trip to Romania to complete

negotiations with Count Dracula of Transylvania.

Arriving at the mansion, he began

to detail strange behaviors in the Count,

such as his disappearances at night, lack of

appetite, and reflection in the mirrors.
