Résumé

Résumé : "Dracula," written by Bram Stoker and published in 1897, is a seminal work in the horror genre, particularly known for its influence on the portrayal of vampires in literature and popular culture. The novel is structured as an epistolary narrative, composed of journal entries, letters, and newspaper clippings, which collectively weave a tale of suspense and terror. The story begins with Jonathan Harker, a solicitor, traveling to Transylvania to assist Count Dracula with a real estate transaction. Harker soon discovers Dracula's true nature as a vampire and becomes imprisoned in the Count's castle. The narrative then shifts to England, where Dracula seeks to expand his dominion. The plot unfolds through the perspectives of various characters, including Mina Murray, Lucy Westenra, Dr. John Seward, and Professor Abraham Van Helsing, as they confront the malevolent Count. The novel explores themes of fear, the unknown, and the clash between modernity and ancient evil. Stoker's "Dracula" is renowned for its atmospheric setting, complex characters, and the tension between rationality and superstition. The work has inspired countless adaptations and remains a cornerstone of gothic literature.
Biographie : Bram Stoker (1847-1912) was born in Dublin. After attending Dublin University, he spent ten years as an Irish civil servant, trying to keep up his writing in his free time. By 1871, he had become the drama critic for the Dublin Mail and had gained experience as a newspaper editor, reporter, and short story writer. In 1878 he became the personal assistant to Sir Henry Irving, the foremost Shakespearean actor of his day, accompanying him on tours and managing Irving's theater. After Irving's death in 1905, Stoker worked on the literary staff of the London Telegraph. Dracula, his most famous work, was published in 1897.
