Maggiori informazioni sul libro
Until recently most people thought Dracula was a creation of film & fiction. With the original publication of In Search of Dracula, the actual historical figure of Prince Vlad of Transylvania--better known as Vlad the Impaler--was rediscovered, & readers were introduced to one of the darkest figures of Eastern European history & folklore. Out of print for more than a decade, In Search of Dracula has now been completely rewritten & updated. This new edition includes entries from Bram Stoker's newly discovered diaries, the amazing tale of Nicolae Ceausescu's attempt to make Vlad a Romanian national hero, & a comprehensive examination of recent adaptations of the Dracula story in novels, on stage & on screen. For a member of the undead, Dracula has enjoyed a vibrant & ubiquitous life for the past century. Even more enduring & powerful a creation than Sherlock Holmes--with whom he shares similar late-Victorian popular literary origins--the Count continues to fascinate with his distinctive mixture of blood, sex & death.
