Abraham) Stoker (1847-1912) - irlandzki pisarz, jeden z najsłynniejszych na świecie autorów grozy. Początkowo nic nie zapowiadało mu spektakularnej kariery. W dzieciństwie wiele wysiłku włożył w to, by pokonać poważne problemy z chodzeniem. Przez długie lata pełnił funkcję sekretarza słynnego aktora szekspirowskiego, sir Henry'ego Irvinga. W międzyczasie pisał powieści o tematyce fantastycznej, bajki dla dzieci i baśnie. Tak narodził się utwór "Dracula", z motywem hrabiego-wampira z Transylwanii, będący podstawą wszystkich kolejnych realizacji literackich i filmowych. Stoker zyskał ogólnoświatową sławę. Horror Writers Association uczyniło go patronem przyznawanej przez siebie nagrody dla twórców literatury grozy.

Now in collaboration with SAGA Egmont, his engaging narration of these famous classics is available to readers everywhere.Bram Stoker was an Irish author who lived in the period 1847 – 1912. He is best known for his horror novel "Dracula" but he is to be remembered for many more literary works such as "The Judge’s House" and "The Dracula’s guest". Bram Stoker’s early years were marked by the fact that he was an invalid. This was however seen as an advantage of sorts by him because he meant that it gave him time to think of many things, which he later put to words in his works. Bram Stoker’s novels can be seen as a vivid combination between horror fiction and realism, perfect mixture of the real and the supernatural.

94,99 kr. I den här klassiska romanen, där en av dramats huvudpersoner skickas på ofrivillig affärsvisit till ett osedvanligt vampyrtätt slott, fick figuren sitt verkliga genombrott och senare genom de många filmer som gjordes, inspirerade av romanen. Den mest flitige tolkaren av greven torde vara Christopher Lee, men boken har även gjorts till serie på Netflix (2020). Här föreligger nu den fullständiga texten i all sin sexualförnekande artonhundratals omständlighet fullspäckad av kvinnlig offervilja och stoisk manlig kamratanda i stearinljusens flämtande sken.Irländaren Bram Stoker livnärde sig i närmare 30 år som sekreterare till Sir Henry Irving, Storbritanniens ledande teater och kulturperson, men är mest känd som författaren till skräckromanen "Dracula" (1887).
