Overview
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.
Sin duda, Drácula de B. Stoker, es una de las últimas y más estremecedoras aportaciones a la literatura gótica.
Esta edición abre con un espléndido, riguroso e iluminador prólogo del escritor Rodrigo Fresán, perfecta antesala de los salones del inmortal vampiro. Introducción de Maurice Hindle, profesor de la Open University. Prefacio de Christopher Frayling, mítico estudioso de la cultura popular. La cuidada traducción es de Mario Montalbán.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
A classic of horror literature, revealing the origins of a terrifying and fascinating creature.
Jonathan Harker travels to Transylvania to close a real estate deal with a mysterious count who has just purchased several properties in London. After a journey fraught with ominous signs, Harker is picked up at Borgo Pass by a sinister carriage that takes him, lulled by the howling of wolves, to a ruined castle. Such is the unsettling opening of a masterful novel that gave birth to one of the most popular and powerful myths of all time: Dracula. The power of the character—whom the film industry has exploited ad nauseam—has, over the years, overshadowed the quality, originality, and uniqueness of Bram Stoker’s work, undoubtedly one of the last and most chilling contributions to Anglo-Saxon Gothic literature.
Without a doubt, B. Stoker’s Dracula is one of the last and most chilling contributions to Gothic literature.
This edition opens with a superb, insightful, and meticulously researched foreword by acclaimed writer Rodrigo Fresán—an ideal introduction before stepping into the halls of the immortal vampire. It also includes an introduction by Maurice Hindle, professor at the Open University, and a preface by Christopher Frayling, the renowned scholar of popular culture. The volume features a carefully crafted translation by Mario Montalbán.
