Bram Stoker: Dracula – Vollständige deutsche Ausgabe • Entspricht rund 450 Buchseiten • Neu editiert, mit aktualisierter Rechtschreibung, ohne den Charakter des Textes zu verfälschen • Voll verlinkt und mit zahlreichen interaktiven Fußnoten »Dracula« ist der berühmteste Vampirroman aller Zeiten. Sieben Jahre lang recherchierte und schrieb der irische Autor Bram Stoker (1847-1912) an diesem Buch. Akribisch sammelte er alles, was er über Vampire und »Untote« in die Finger bekommen konnte, sichtete es, wertete es im Hinblick auf Verwendbarkeit in seinem Roman aus – und schuf ein Werk, das konsistenter, authentischer und stimmiger war als alles, was bis dahin über Vampire geschrieben worden war. Und darüber hinaus natürlich überaus spannend. Man kennt die Verfilmungen des Stoffes mit Bela Lugosi, Christopher Lee und Klaus Kinski. Sie alle sorgten für die Verkörperung des schauderhaftesten Vampirs, den man sich denken kann. Das wäre nicht möglich gewesen, ohne den schaurig-schönen inspirierenden Geist der Romanvorlage. Und schon beim Lesen werden genau diese Nervenkitzel-Bilder im Kopf erzeugt, die später Regisseure auf die Leinwand projizierten. ---- eClassica – Die Buchreihe, die Klassiker neu belebt.
Schon bald nach seiner Ankunft im Schloss des Grafen Dracula fallen dem jungen Anwalt Jonathan Harker merkwürdige Dinge auf. Groß ist sein Entsetzen, als sich der Graf als Vampir entpuppt. Die hypnotische Gewalt, die der Vampir über Frauen ausübt, die heimliche Leidenschaft für eine abweichende, nicht ausschließlich auf den Zweck der Fortpflanzung beschränkte Sexualität, der Vampirbiss in den Hals des weiblichen Opfers. Dieser erotischen Dimension entsprechen auch die Tötungsweisen des Vampirs: er wird geköpft (kastriert) oder gepfählt (penetriert) – die Pfählung ist als ein Akt der Bekehrung des perversen Vampirs zu einer gewissermaßen rechtschaffenen Sexualität zu verstehen, für die sich der von seinem Fluch erlöste Vampir mit einem verklärten Lächeln bedankt. Es handelt sich um eine aktualisierte Auflage! (13. Februar 2016)

Dracula is an 1897 novel by Irish author Bram Stoker, featuring as its primary antagonist the vampire Count Dracula. Dracula has been attributed to many literary genres including vampire literature, horror fiction, the gothic novel and invasion literature. Structurally it is an epistolary novel, that is, told as a series of diary entries and letters. Literary critics have examined many themes in the novel, such as the role of women in Victorian culture, conventional and conservative sexuality, immigration, colonialism, postcolonialism and folklore. Although Stoker did not invent the vampire, the novel's influence on the popularity of vampires has been singularly responsible for many theatrical and film interpretations throughout the 20th and 21st centuries.

La novela, escrita de manera epistolar, presenta otros temas, como el papel de la mujer en la epoca victoriana, la sexualidad, la inmigracion, el colonialismo o el folclore. Como curiosidad, cabe destacar que Bram Stoker no invento la leyenda vampirica, pero la influencia de la novela ha logrado llegar al cine, el teatro y la television."
