James V. Hart Libri

With his long black curls, a shadowy family tree, and an affinity for pet spiders, James Matthew bears little resemblance to his starched-collar, blue-blooded peers at Eton. Dubbed King Jas., he stops at nothing to become the most notorious underclassman in the prestigious school's history. For James, sword fighting, falling in love with an Ottoman Sultana, and challenging the Queen of England are all in a day's skullduggery. But when he sets sail on a ship with a mysterious mission, King Jas.' dream of discovering a magical island quickly turns into an unimaginable nightmare. Screenwriter J. V. Hart traces the evolution of J. M. Barrie's classic villain from an eccentric outcast to the scourge of Neverland.

He has haunted our dreams and our waking hours, a fiend with a single purpose... to disarm us, to seduce us, to take the life from us. And Count Dracula, Bram Stoker's Vampire King, has been doing it for 100 years. As you will see in The First Hundred Years, the image of Dracula is forever shifting and changing, reflecting not himself, but our own fears and secret longings. Include chapters on Dracula in film, the novel, and comics.

Der berühmte Roman "Dracula" von Bram Stoker erzählt die Geschichte des Grafen Dracula, der aus Transsilvanien nach England reist, um seine dunklen Pläne zu verwirklichen. Die Erzählung wird aus verschiedenen Perspektiven präsentiert, darunter die von Jonathan Harker, Mina Murray und Dr. John Seward, die alle in den Bann des Vampirs geraten. Stoker thematisiert die Angst vor dem Unbekannten, den Kampf zwischen Gut und Böse sowie die Herausforderungen der modernen Welt im Angesicht uralter Mächte. Die Charaktere müssen sich ihren eigenen Ängsten und den übernatürlichen Bedrohungen stellen, während sie versuchen, Dracula zu besiegen und die Menschheit vor seiner Herrschaft zu retten. Der Roman ist nicht nur ein Meisterwerk des Horrorgenres, sondern auch eine tiefgründige Untersuchung von Sexualität, Macht und dem Übernatürlichen.

Un misterioso biglietto lo conduce a un ritorno a Nimmerland, dove ritrova Tinkerbell, i pirati, i Ragazzi Perduti e, soprattutto, il capitano Uncino, che, a differenza di Peter, non è cambiato affatto.
