Bram Stoker's classic novel Dracula, originally titled The Un-Dead, was first published in 1897. It has had a profound influence on world literature. It has enjoyed enormous popularity since its publication and is singularly responsible for spawning an extraordinary vampire subculture in the second half of the twentieth century. Over a thousand novels and hundreds of films feature Dracula or other vampires, not to mention the countless cartoons, comics, and television programmes which were ultimately inspired by Stoker's work. This edition includes the short story "Dracula's Guest", which was published in 1914 by Stoker's widow, Florence, who said of the story: "It was originally excised owing to the length of the book, and may prove of interest to the many readers of what is considered my husband's most remarkable work." Abraham "Bram" Stoker was born in Clontarf in Dublin on 8 November 1847 and died in London on 20 April 1912. He was an Irish novelist and short story writer, who worked as the personal assistant of actor Henry Irving and business manager of the Lyceum Theatre in London, which Irving owned. Mathew Staunton is printing historian from Dublin and proprietor of The Onslaught Press. He produced the illustrations for this edition on his press in Oxford. Patrick H. Wynne learned Esperanto forty years ago, and has edited several books in Esperanto for Evertype. A former professional illustrator, adept at J. R. R. Tolkien's constructed languages, and a cat lover, he lives in Minnesota.

Autor

ABRAHAM "BRAM" STOKER (1847-1912) was such a sickly child that he could hardly even stand on his own two feet until he was seven years old. He made up for this early weakness, however, and became the champion athlete of his year at Trinity College, Dublin, where he was at university. As with many sickly children, he had plenty of time to read and developed an abiding passion for literature.After university, he followed his father into the Irish Civil Service in his native Dublin, but soon became bored and disenchanted with this career. He enjoyed the theater, and to give his life some variety, he became an unpaid drama critic for the Dublin Mail. The most famous actor of the time was Sir Henry Irving, and in 1876 Stoker helped advertise Irving's visit to Dublin. Naturally enough, the two men met. They became firm friends, and from 1878 until Irving's death in 1905 Bram Stoker's main job was as Irving's manager and secretary. In 1878 he also married Oscar Wilde's former girlfriend, Florence Balcombe.He was also pursuing a literary career. He wrote about a dozen books, but is today remembered for only one-Dracula, which was first published in 1897. The book is a true masterpiece of the macabre: with its parade of evil monsters and its compelling storyline, it was an immediate success, and has remained so ever since.The definitive film version was made in 1931 with Bela Lugosi in the title role. Since then, dozens of Dracula films have been made, a recognition of the enduring fascination with one of the great villains in literature.
