Bram Stoker's iconic novel 'Dracula' begins with a young man, Jonathan Harker, arriving in Transylvania where he has an appointment to keep with a certain Count Dracula. The count is looking for a London home and Jonathan, who has the details of a large house that might suit Dracula, is keen to make the count's acquaintance and visit him in his castle. However, the Transylvanian locals, who are terrified of the count, try to warn Jonathan about the wiseness of his visit, and when Jonathan arrives at Count Dracula's castle and finds himself practically a prisoner of his strange host, he begins to wish that he had listened to them. Meanwhile back in England, Jonathan's fiancee, Mina Harker, is staying in Whitby with her friend Lucy Westenra, when a series of unusual and discomfiting events occur which include an unmanned ship with the dead captain lashed to the wheel being wrecked during a violent storm; Lucy being found sleepwalking in a churchyard where she comes into contact with a tall, dark, mysterious figure; and the appearance of some strange puncture marks on Lucy's neck that will not heal. And in a lunatic asylum run by Lucy's doctor friend, an inmate tells of the imminent arrival of his 'Master'...
Dramatic, claustrophobic, full of gothic tropes and touching on themes such as: love, religion, feudal aristocracy, promiscuity, female sexuality, the pitting of primitive forces against modern and so forth, this novel - which is told entirely in the form of letters and journals - pulls the reader in from the very first pages and keeps us involved from beginning to end. It is true that this is not my preferred genre of literature and I did find aspects of the book to be overly dramatic and so on, but I have to admit to being gripped by parts of this story and having had this novel on my 'to read list' for years and years, I'm really glad that I've finally got around to reading it.
4 Stars.

Om författaren
Abraham 'Bram' Stoker (1847 - 1912) was educated at Trinity College, Dublin and joined the Irish Civil Service before his love of theatre led him to become the unpaid drama critic for the Dublin Mail. He went on to act as as manager and secretary for the actor Sir Henry Irving, while writing his novels, the most famous of which is Dracula.

Hur beräknas betyg?
För att beräkna det totala stjärnbetyget och den procentuella fördelningen per stjärna använder vi inte ett enkelt medelvärde. Istället tar vårt system hänsyn till saker som till exempel hur nyligen en recension har gjorts och om recensenten köpte artikeln på Amazon. Det analyserar också recensioner för att verifiera deras trovärdighet.

Review of the physical copy - not the contents of the book itself
Granskad i Storbritannien den 12 maj 2020Verifierat köp
I’ve wanted to read Bram Stoker’s Classic for many years now and finally got round to buying it.
I haven’t started the book yet so this isn’t a review on the story.
The package arrived earlier than expected however the pages and outside of the book were bent and damp-feeling and the back of the novel is coated in weird dusty dirt. (I bought NEW)
Quite disappointed.

I bought the book to read for the book club that I belong to. It is not a book that I had ever been inclined to read but I am so glad I have. A wonderful read. the book was delivered very promptly and in mint condition.
