Dracula

Gyserklassikeren over dem alle. Den udøde grev Dracula drager fra sit slot i Karpaterne til London for at mætte sin blodtørst.

HarperCollins is proud to present our range of timeless literary classics. ‘We are in Transylvania; and Transylvania is not England. Our ways are not your ways, and there shall be to you many strange things.’ Earnest and naive solicitor Jonathan Harker travels to Transylvania to organise the estate of the infamous Count Dracula at his crumbling castle in the ominous Carpathian Mountains. Through notes and diary entries, Harker keeps track of the horrors and terrors that beset him at the castle, telling his fiancé Mina of the Count’s supernatural powers and his own imprisonment. Although Harker eventually manages to escape and reunite with Mina, his experiences have led to a mental breakdown of sorts. Meanwhile in England, Mina’s friend Lucy has been bitten and begins to turn into a vampire. With the help of Professor Van Helsing, a previous suitor of Lucy’s, Seward, and Lucy’s fiancé Holmwood attempt to thwart Count Dracula and his attempts on Lucy and consequently Mina’s life. Arguably the most enduring Gothic novel of the 19th Century, Bram Stoker’s Dracula is as chilling today in its depiction of the vampire world and its exploration of Victorian values as it was at its time of publication.

Introduction and Notes by Dr David Rogers, Kingston University. 'There he lay looking as if youth had been half-renewed, for the white hair and moustache were changed to dark iron-grey, the cheeks were fuller, and the white skin seemed ruby-red underneath; the mouth was redder than ever, for on the lips were gouts of fresh blood, which trickled from the corners of the mouth and ran over the chin and neck. Even the deep, burning eyes seemed set amongst the swollen flesh, for the lids and pouches underneath were bloated. It seemed as if the whole awful creature were simply gorged with blood; he lay like a filthy leech, exhausted with his repletion.' Thus Bram Stoker, one of the greatest exponents of the supernatural narrative, describes the demonic subject of his chilling masterpiece Dracula , a truly iconic and unsettling tale of vampirism.

'it was butcher work...the horrid screeching as the stake drove home; the plunging of writhing form, and lips of bloody foam' Bram Stoker's 1897 Gothic shocker introduced Count Dracula to the world, an ancient creature bent on bringing his contagion to London, the very heart of the British Empire. Only a handful of men and women stand between Dracula and his long-cherished goal, but they are vulnerable and weak against the cunning and supernatural powers of the Count and his legions. As the horrifying story unfolds in the diaries and letters of young Jonathan Harker, Lucy, Mina, and Dr Seward, Dracula will be victorious unless his nemesis Professor Van Helsing can persuade them that monsters still lurk in the era of electric light. The most famous of all vampire stories, Dracula is a mirror of its age, its underlying themes of race, religion, science, superstition, and sexuality never far from the surface. A compelling read, rattling along at break-neck speed, it is a modern classic. This new edition includes Stoker's companion piece, 'Dracula's Guest'. ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford World's Classics has made available the widest range of literature from around the globe. Each affordable volume reflects Oxford's commitment to scholarship, providing the most accurate text plus a wealth of other valuable features, including expert introductions by leading authorities, helpful notes to clarify the text, up-to-date bibliographies for further study, and much more.

First published in 1897, Bram Stoker’s classic tale of a group of English friends tormented by a ruthless vampire returns in this eerie edition with a freshly reimagined cover! When Jonathan Harker, a young English lawyer, journeys to the Carpathian Mountains to meet with a new client, his perception of reality warps as he experiences a series of paranormal events involving his host, Count Dracula, three women staying in his castle, and the local wolves. Jonathan wakes disoriented in a Budapest hospital with his fiancée Mina at his side. But the count’s appetites are far from sated. He lands on the shores of England, leaving no survivors among the ship’s crew. From there, Dracula stalks Mina’s best friend, Lucy, who becomes very ill. Lucy’s friends rally around her—one of them even recruiting an old teacher, Professor Abraham Van Helsing—but she eventually succumbs to her sickness. Mina and Jonathan reunite with their friends and Van Helsing intent on revenge. But can these ordinary mortals defeat a creature of the night?

Though Stoker did not invent vampires - and in fact based his character's life-in-death on extensive research into European folklore - his novel elevated the nocturnal monster to iconic stature, spawning a genre of stories and movies which flourishes to this day. A century of imitation has done nothing to diminish its power. As the suave and chilling Count stalks his prey from a crumbling castle in the Carpathians to a lunatic asylum in Purfleet and the bedrooms of his swooning female victims, the drama builds to a fever pitch of sensuality and suspense. Dracula is not only a classic of Gothic horror and a wellspring of modern mythology: it is also irresistible entertainment.

Though Stoker did not invent vampires - and in fact based his character's life-in-death on extensive research into European folklore - his novel elevated the nocturnal monster to iconic stature, spawning a genre of stories and movies which flourishes to this day. A century of imitation has done nothing to diminish its power. As the suave and chilling Count stalks his prey from a crumbling castle in the Carpathians to a lunatic asylum in Purfleet and the bedrooms of his swooning female victims, the drama builds to a fever pitch of sensuality and suspense. Dracula is not only a classic of Gothic horror and a wellspring of modern mythology: it is also irresistible entertainment.

“In Dracula , we find a monster who takes away our agency, our choice—even as he consumes us. The fantasy of becoming a vampire is a myth of exceptionalism— nobody fantasizes about being the random peasant whom the titular Count devours. Instead, people are thrilled by the thought of turning into vampires themselves—becoming the most powerful consumer, the apex predator. And until we recognize that we have far more in common with prey than predator, we will always feel the vampire's pull. I hope Norton's vital new addition to the conversation about Stoker’s work will cause readers to look at this old story with new eyes: to question our preconceptions and refocus our own narrative lenses. Dracula remains evergreen, I'm afraid—because within our monsters... we may find ourselves.” —Kate Hamill (playwright/actor)

As fledgling English lawyer Jonathan Harker treks into the Carpathian Mountains to complete a real estate transaction, frightened peasants warn him of horrible dangers that await him. Harker, terrified by eerie events along the way, finally meets his client, Count Dracula, a tall, gaunt old man with a surprisingly powerful handshake. Harker soon realizes that he is a prisoner in Dracula’s sumptuously furnished castle—a castle strangely devoid of mirrors. Later, as fifty coffin-size boxes are brought into the castle in preparation for Dracula’s departure, Harker knows that the count plans to do more in London than see the sights—and fears that the rational modern world is ill-equipped to recognize, let alone defeat, the count.

Da Jonathan Harker i "Dracula" drager til Transylvanien for at færdiggøre salget af et hus i London til en mystisk greve, gør han sig hurtigt en række grumme og skrækindjagende opdagelser om sin klient, grev Dracula. Heldigvis undslipper Jonathan grevens slot helskindet og rejser hjem til sit og sin forlovede i England. Inden længe udfolder der sig dog en masse forstyrrende hændelser i England: et unavngivent skib, støder i land ved havnebyen Whitby, mystiske bidemærker viser sig på en ung dames hals og en indsat på sindssygeanstalt rabler usammenhængende løs om sin 'Herres' snarlige ankomst. Lige siden udgivelsen i 1897 har Bram Stokers gyserklassiker "Dracula" været den ultimative vampyrfortælling, der satte standarden for fremtidige generationers fremstillinger af det blodsugende, men dragende væsen.

Truly a Dracula for both art and book lovers, this new edition of the most famous of vampire tales completely overhauls the notion of how a literary classic might be creatively revisited. James Pyman is already famed for his eerily exacting and hallucinatory draftsmanship, as well as for his relish for the exploration of book formats such as cartoon or children's books, and is therefore ideally suited to the illustration of this volume. Herein, Pyman returns to the original text, illustrating a line or phrase from each of the novel's 27 chapters in a series of wonderfully sinister and weirdly clinical pencil drawings. The book, which Bram Stoker composed as a series of diaries, letters and newspaper cuttings, has been typeset by designer John Morgan with a different typeface allocated to each character--each font being based on those in use at the time of the book's original publication. As a final flourish, the striking bright yellow clothbound cover, with its vivid red lettering, is based on that of the first UK edition.

Under et forretningsbesøg på Grev Draculas uhyggelige gamle slot i Transsylvanien oplever en ung engelsk advokat en række rædselsvækkende hændelser. Jonathan Harker bliver vidne til grevens forvandling fra menneske til flagermus og opdager bidsår på sin egen hals. Det lykkes Harker at flygte hjem til London, men greven følger med. Da en nær ven bliver alvorligt syg – søvngængeri, uforklarligt blodtab og mystiske bidsår på halsen – starter en hektisk vampyrjagt. BRAM STOKERS udødelige gyser fra 1897 er nyoversat af Jakob Levinsen, som også har skrevet forord til bogen. I mere end 100 år har den tryllebundet læsere over hele verden og er blevet filmatiseret flere gange.
