Dracula
Book (italiano):
A true masterwork of storytelling, <I>Dracula</I> has transcended generation, language, and culture to become one of the most popular novels ever written. It is a quintessential tale of suspense and horror, boasting one of the most terrifying characters ever born in literature: Count Dracula, a tragic, night-dwelling specter who feeds upon the blood of the living, and whose diabolical passions prey upon the innocent, the helpless, and the beautiful. But <I>Dracula</I> also stands as a bleak allegorical saga of an eternally cursed being whose nocturnal atrocities reflect the dark underside of the supremely moralistic age in which it was originally written -- and the corrupt desires that continue to plague the modern human condition. <P> Pocket Books Enriched Classics present the great works of world literature enhanced for the contemporary reader. This edition of <I>Dracula</I> was prepared by Joseph Valente, Professor of English at the University of Illinois and the author of <I>Dracula's Crypt: Bram Stoker, Irishness, and the Question of Blood,</I> who provides insight into the racial connotations of this enduring masterpiece.
