Dracula represents everything everything the Victorians feared: the irrational, the pagan, the erotic and the foreign.With an Afterword by Jonty Claypole.
De repente me dí cuenta de que estábamos en el patio de un enorme castillo en ruinas, por cuyos grandes ventanales no salía ni un rayo de luz y cuyas destruidas almenas destacaban sobre el cielo iluminado por la luna.
This famous novel hardly needs an introduction of any kind. It is probably one of the best-known horror stories ever written; it has been made into numerous films and includes many characters who have become legends in their own right, such as Van Helsing.
El conde Drácula pertenece a esa lista de personajes que, popularizados por el cine, han cobrado vida propia, haciendo oscurecer injustamente la obra literaria de donde proceden. Y, sin embargo, la novela de Bram Stoker sorprende por su solidez y arquitectura: la ausencia del erudito narrador decimonónico y la acumulación de materiales de primera mano confieren al relato una modernidad narrativa insólita en este tipo de obras. Al mismo tiempo, la lenta progresión en el desvelamiento del misterio, producto de la confrontación y convergencia de los diversos puntos de vista, crea una tensa atmósfera de suspense en medio de su aparente distanciamiento y frialdad.

Paradimage incorpora este título a su colección Clásica, en una renovada y cuidada edición digital. Esperamos que la disfrute.

Of the many admiring reviews Bram Stoker's Dracula received when it first appeared in 1897, the most astute praise came from the author's mother, who wrote her son: "It is splendid. No book since Mrs. Shelley's Frankenstein or indeed any other at all has come near yours in originality, or terror." A popular bestseller in Victorian England, Stoker's hypnotic tale of the bloodthirsty Count Dracula, whose nocturnal atrocities are symbolic of an evil ages old yet forever new, endures as the quintessential story of suspense and horror. The unbridled lusts and desires, the diabolical cravings that Stoker dramatized with such mythical force, render Dracula resonant and unsettling a century later.

The Monk is a violent tale of ambition, murder, and incest. The great struggle between maintaining monastic vows and fulfilling personal ambitions.
Jonathan Harker, a young London solicitor (a lawyer) travels to Transylvania (modern-day Romania) to help a rich nobleman, Count Dracula, purchase an estate in England.

Las leyendas de vampiros han fascinado al ser humano en multitud de pueblos y culturas diferentes a lo largo de toda su historia, desde el confín de los tiempos hasta nuestros días. Lo que para muchos es el fruto de una imaginación excesiva y que raya en lo genial de mentes que no contaban con los conocimientos científicos suficientes, el fruto de una supersticiosa ignorancia, para otros ha supuesto la oportunidad de atribuirle una posibilidad de considerar el vampirismo, sin mucho fundamento, un fenómeno real. Los sucesos relacionados con la existencia de vampiros se multiplicaron exponencialmente, sobre todo en Europa en el siglo XVIII; se daban datos exactos sobre sus apariciones y de testigos fiables que habían presenciado aquellos inusuales fenómenos. Entre las historias cortas más conocidas de vampiros, aquí hemos seleccionado las que nos parecían más interesantes desde un punto de vista literario: El vampiro de John Polidori, Morella y Berenice de Edgar Allan Poe, El huésped de Drácula de Bram Stoker, considerado por muchos el principio de Drácula eliminado de su primera edición porque el editor consideró excesiva su extensión, La muerta enamorada de...
