Riassunto

Edizione Penguin English Library di Dracula di Bram Stoker "Solo con i morti! Non oso uscire, perché sento il basso ululato del lupo attraverso la finestra rotta" Un agghiacciante capolavoro del genere horror, Dracula ha anche illuminato gli angoli oscuri della sessualità vittoriana. Quando Jonathan Harker visita la Transilvania per consigliare il conte Dracula su una casa a Londra, fa una scoperta orribile. Poco dopo, in Inghilterra si verificano una serie di inquietanti incidenti: una nave senza equipaggio naufraga a Whitby; strani segni di puntura appaiono sul collo di una giovane donna; e il detenuto di un manicomio delira per l'arrivo del suo "Padrone", mentre un gruppo determinato di avversari si prepara ad affrontare il terrificante conte. The Penguin English Library - 100 edizioni della migliore narrativa in inglese, dal diciottesimo secolo e dai primi romanzi all'inizio della prima guerra mondiale.

The Penguin English Library Edition of Dracula by Bram Stoker

'Alone with the dead! I dare not go out, for I can hear the low howl of the wolf through the broken window'

A chilling masterpiece of the horror genre, Dracula also illuminated dark corners of Victorian sexuality. When Jonathan Harker visits Transylvania to advise Count Dracula on a London home, he makes a horrifying discovery. Soon afterwards, a number of disturbing incidents unfold in England: an unmanned ship is wrecked at Whitby; strange puncture marks appear on a young woman's neck; and the inmate of a lunatic asylum raves about the arrival of his 'Master', while a determined group of adversaries prepares to face the terrifying Count.

The Penguin English Library - 100 editions of the best fiction in English, from the eighteenth century and the very first novels to the beginning of the First World War.
