This quintessential vampire story helped to reshape the world of horror fiction. Irish author Bram Stoker introduced the character of Count Dracula and provided much of the basis of modern vampire fiction in his 1897 novel Dracula. Written as a series of letters, newspaper clippings, diary entries, and ships' logs, the story begins with lawyer Jonathan Harker journeying to meet Dracula at his remote castle to complete a real estate transaction. Harker soon discovers that he is being held prisoner, and that Dracula has a rather disquieting nocturnal life.

Prekrasnaja neznakomka prinimaet predlozhenie. Vskore nachinajut proiskhodit strannye sobytija: Lora zabolevaet, ee sostojanie ukhudshaetsja s kazhdym dnem, a po nocham muchajut pristupy udushja. Posle neskolkikh muchitelnykh nochej, junoj Lore predstoit uznat shokirujuschuju pravdu o zagadochnoj goste.Istorija rasskazana molodoj devushkoj, na kotoruju okhotitsja zhenschina-vampir po imeni Karmilla, pozzhe vyjasnjaetsja, chto eto Mirkalla, grafinja Karnshtejn (Karmilla - anagramma Mirkally).V izdanie takzhe vkhodit povest "Tajna gostinitsy "Parjaschij drakon"."Drakula" Brema Stokera dal zapadnoj kulture obraz neobychajnoj simvolicheskoj sily: virtuozno izobrazhennyj zaglavnyj personazh soshel so stranits romana i nachal samostojatelnuju zhizn v massovom soznanii. Tak voznik odin iz samykh populjarnykh mifov XX veka - mif o vampirizme. Khotja "Drakula" - daleko ne pervoe povestvovanie o vampirakh, imenno ono stalo podlinnoj klassikoj zhanra i ego etalonom. Odno iz glavnykh proizvedenij anglijskoj literatury uzhasa vpechatljaet neozhidannymi i netrivialnymi povorotami sjuzheta, eroticheskimi podtekstami, izobrazheniem koshmarov i chudes, zybkostju granits mezhdu zhiznju i smertju, realnym i fantasticheskim.

Brem Stoker v pervuju ochered izvesten kak avtor "Drakuly", odnako on takzhe javljaetsja masterom maloj prozy. "Gost Drakuly" - sbornik rasskazov, vpervye opublikovannyj v 1914 godu, spustja dva goda posle ego smerti.Zaglavnyj rasskaz, "Gost Drakuly", predstavljaet soboj prolog k znamenitomu romanu "Drakula", kotoryj byl udalen iz finalnoj versii knigi.

Pomimo "Gostja Drakuly", sbornik soderzhit i drugie proizvedenija, napolnennye mrachnoj atmosferoj i sverkhestestvennymi sobytijami, demonstrirujuschie masterstvo Stokera v zhanre goticheskoj literatury. V sbornik voshli "The Judge's House", "The Squaw", "The Secret of the Growing Gold", "A Gipsy Prophecy", "The Coming of Abel Behenna", "The Burial of the Rats", "A Dream of Red Hands" i "Crooken Sands".

Molodoj londonskij advokat po porucheniju svoego patrona edet v zagadochnuju Transilvaniju v zamok tainstvennogo grafa Drakuly, sovershenno ne podozrevaja, chto zhdet ego tam...Kultovyj roman o vampirakh, superbestseller vsekh vremen i narodov. V kropotlivoj issledovatelskoj rabote nad nim Stoker provel vosem let, izuchal evropejskij i v osobennosti irlandskij folklor, mify, predanija i ljubye upominanija o vampirakh. "Drakula" byl napisan esche v 1897 godu i s tekh por vyderzhal mnozhestvo pereizdanij. Ego neodnokratno ekranizirovali, v tom chisle takoj metr kinematografa, kak Frensis Ford Koppola.

Uzhasnyj krovopijtsa, otjavlennyj zlodej, umertvivshij sotni ljudej, znamenityj graf Drakula.
