Synopsis "Drácula (in Spanish)"

jonathan harker viaja a transilvania para cerrar un negocio inmobiliario con un misterioso conde que acaba de comprar varias propiedades en londres. después de un viaje preñado de ominosas señales, harker es recogido en el paso de borgo por un siniestro carruaje que le lleva, acunado por el canto de los lobos, a un castillo en ruinas. tal es el inquietante principio de una novela magistral que alumbró uno de los mitos más populares y poderosos de todos los tiempos: drácula. la fuerza del personaje ?del que el cine se adueñó hasta la saciedad? ha eclipsado a lo largo de los años la calidad, la originalidad y la rareza de la obra de bram stoker, sin duda una de las últimas y más estremecedoras aportaciones a la literatura gótica anglosajona. abre nuestra edición un espléndido, riguroso e iluminador prólogo del escritor rodrigo fresán, perfecta antesala de los salones del inmortal vampiro.

Abraham "Bram" Stoker (Clontarf; November 8, 1847-London; April 20, 1912) was an Irish novelist and writer, known for his novel Dracula

His early horror stories, such as "The Crystal Cup" (1872), were published by the London Society, and The Chain of Destiny in the Shamrock magazine. In 1876, while working as a civil servant, he wrote a textbook named The Duties of Clerks of Petty Sessions in Ireland (1879), this book was used as a reference for a long time

Being a theater critic for the Dublin Evening Mail, co-owned by the famous Gothic novelist Sheridan Le Fanu, one of the most important of his time for stories like Carmilla, about a vampire, greatly influenced Stoker when writing Dracula. Stoker's critique of the play was high praise for the performance in Hamlet by actor Henry Irving, who hired him to be his personal secretary and manager of the Lyceum Theatre in London

While working for Irving, he was a literary critic for the Daily Telegraph and wrote several novels like The Snake's Pass (1890) and Dracula (1897) and, after Irving's death in 1905, The Lady of the Shroud (1909) and The Lair of the White Worm (1911)

His wife was the administrator of his literary estate, and she made known works such as what would be the introduction to Dracula, the short story Dracula's Guest
