Bøker av Bram Stoker

Richard E Grant reads Bram Stoker's Dracula, one of the most powerful horror tales ever written, for Penguin Audiobooks.When Jonathan Harker visits Transylvania to help Count Dracula with the purchase of a London house, he makes a series of horrific discoveries about his client. Soon afterwards, various bizarre incidents unfold in England: an apparently unmanned ship is wrecked off the coast of Whitby; a young woman discovers strange puncture marks on her neck; and the inmate of a lunatic asylum raves about the 'Master' and his imminent arrival. In Dracula, Bram Stoker created one of the great masterpieces of the horror genre, brilliantly evoking a nightmare world of vampires and vampire hunters and also illuminating the dark corners of Victorian sexuality and desire.

First published in 1897, Bram Stoker's 'Dracula' established the ground rules for virtually all vampire fiction written in its wake. This volume has an exquisitely designed foil-stamped binding, with distinctive coloured edging and an attractive silk-ribbon bookmark.

Introduction and Notes by Dr David Rogers, Kingston University.'There he lay looking as if youth had been half-renewed, for the white hair and moustache were changed to dark iron-grey, the cheeks were fuller, and the white skin seemed ruby-red underneath; the mouth was redder than ever, for on the lips were gouts of fresh blood, which trickled from the corners of the mouth and ran over the chin and neck. Even the deep, burning eyes seemed set amongst the swollen flesh, for the lids and pouches underneath were bloated. It seemed as if the whole awful creature were simply gorged with blood; he lay like a filthy leech, exhausted with his repletion.'Thus Bram Stoker, one of the greatest exponents of the supernatural narrative, describes the demonic subject of his chilling masterpiece Dracula, a truly iconic and unsettling tale of vampirism.

Bram Stoker's gothic masterpiece was first published in 1897, and has spawned so many classic films, all based on the character he invented when Queen Victoria was on the throne. This title presents the story in colour.

I am Your slave..."e;This dark, brooding and powerfully atmospheric novel by Bram Stoker is a classic of gothic literature, casting light on the darkness of the human psyche, and exploiting our deepest fears.When newly qualified solicitor Jonathan Harker visits Transylvania to help a new client purchase a residence in London, he is unaware that he will be lucky to escape with his life. Harker's fateful visit to Count Dracula's castle begins a series of disturbing events, as the malevolence he discovers there reaches across continents and oceans to twist and abuse his loved ones at home in England.

When Count Dracula departs Transylvania on a Russian ship, crew members begin to mysteriously disappear. When Abraham Van Helsing is asked to intervene, he is forced to hunt newly made vampires, using a cross, garlic, and a wooden steak as weapons.

"Awareness of Dracula" as a masterly gothic thriller has increased ever since its publication in 1897, and the novel is regarded as one of the most seminal horror stories of ever written, having inspired countless copycat tales and literary spin-offs. The tale of young Englishman Jonathan Harker's journey to Transylvania, into the very heart of Count Dracula's evil realm, is compelling, but it is perhaps the journey of the vampire to England, and the dangers he poses to Jonathan's beloved Mina, that is the more horrifying.

The literary evolution of the female vampire begins with the legendary LILITH...but is she a cursed monster, or a symbol of the rebellious, independent woman? While the male vampire has gone from monster to anti-hero to dream boyfriend, the path of his sister in blood has been more complex and mysterious. James Grant Goldin presents a curated anthology of the original texts, some freshly translated, that trace the evolution of the vampire lady through the end of the 19th century. In this anthology, there are, to be sure, monsters--VESPERTILIA of "A Mystery of the Campagna," ONEIZA of "Thalaba the Destroyer" and BRUNHILDE of "Wake Not The Dead"--but there are also vampire women in love, like CLARIMONDE, the airborne ALICE of Turgenev's "Phantoms," or the lesbian CARMILLA. There are vampires seeking justice or vengeance, like THE LADY BRIGHT. And there are characters like CLARA CROFTON or ALINSKA, who are both predators and victims.  VAMPIRES: FIRST BLOOD VOLUME II - THE VAMPIRE LADIES collects the original adventures of the daughters of darkness who returned from the dead to pit their supernatural powers against the entrenched forces of patriarchy.   This anthology comes complete with introductory notes and detailed glossaries to make these surprisingly contemporary stories come alive for a new generationLilith, from "The Alphabet of Ben Sira"The Bride of Corinth, by GoetheOneiza, from Southey's "Thalaba the Destroyer"Brunhilda, from Raupach's "Wake Not the Dead"Alinska, from Lamothe-Langon's "The Vampire, or the Virgin of Hungary"The Vampire Bride, by LiddellClarimonde, from Gautier's "The Dead in Love"The Lady Bright, from Maxwell's "The Vampire"Clara Crofton, from Rymer's "Varney the Vampyre"Alice, from Turgenev's "Phantoms"Vespertilia, from Crawford's "A Mystery of the Campagna" and Watson's "Vespertilia"The Woman Who Did Not Care, from Kipling's "A Fool There Was"Countess Dolingen, from Stoker's "Dracula's Guest"

Si vous quittez Paris par la route d'Orléans, après avoir traversé les fortifications et tourné à droite, vous vous trouverez dans un endroit un peu sauvage et pas du tout agréable. À droite, à gauche, devant, derrière vous s'élèvent de grands tas d'ordures et de détritus que le temps a fini par accumuler. Paris a une vie nocturne aussi bien que diurne, et un voyageur de passage qui rentre à son hôtel, rue de Rivoli ou rue Saint-Honoré, tard dans la nuit, ou qui le quitte tôt le matin, peut deviner, en approchant de Montrouge - s'il ne l'a déjà fait -, à quoi servent ces grands chariots qui ressemblent à des chaudières sur roues qu'il trouve arrêtés un peu partout quand il passe par là. Chaque ville possède ses institutions propres, créées à partir de ses propres besoins. Ainsi, l'une des institutions les plus notables de Paris est sa population de chiffonniers. Tôt le matin - et la vie parisienne commence très tôt -, on peut voir dans la plupart des rues, placées sur le trottoir en face de chaque cour et de chaque allée, et dans l'intervalle de deux ou trois maisons, comme cela existe encore dans certaines villes américaines, et même dans certains quartiers de New York, des grandes boîtes de bois où les domestiques, ou les habitants, vident les ordures accumulées pendant la journée.

Drácula de Bram Stoker es una obra seminal de la literatura gótica. La narración se desarrolla a través de una serie de anotaciones en un diario, cartas y recortes de periódico, que proporcionan una perspectiva polifacética de los desgarradores acontecimientos que se suceden. La historia comienza con Jonathan Harker, un joven abogado inglés, que viaja al remoto castillo del Conde Drácula en Transilvania para ayudar en una transacción inmobiliaria. Sin embargo, a medida que Harker se adentra en los dominios de Drácula, es cada vez más consciente de la naturaleza ominosa y sobrenatural de su anfitrión.A medida que se desarrolla la trama y el escenario cambia a Inglaterra, los lectores se ven arrastrados a un mundo de suspense, horror y terror psicológico (la tensión culmina en un dramático enfrentamiento en el castillo de Drácula, donde las fuerzas del bien chocan con la encarnación del mal). Stoker entreteje con maestría los temas del miedo, los deseos prohibidos y el choque entre la modernidad y las antiguas supersticiones. La novela explora las profundas ansiedades de la sociedad victoriana, reflejando las tensiones culturales de la época.Drácula no es un mero relato de terror; es una profunda exploración de la psique humana, que ahonda en temas como el amor, el sacrificio y la eterna lucha entre la oscuridad y la luz. La prosa rica y evocadora de Stoker capta la atmósfera gótica, creando un impacto duradero en el género de terror.Esta edición presenta la visión original y desenfrenada de Stoker, permitiendo a los lectores sumergirse en el terror intemporal de Drácula.
