A true masterwork of storytelling, Dracula has transcended generation, language, and culture to become one of the most popular novels ever written. It is a quintessential tale of suspense and horror, boasting one of the most terrifying characters ever born in literature: Count Dracula, a tragic, night-dwelling specter who feeds upon the blood of the living, and whose diabolical passions prey upon the innocent, the helpless, and the beautiful. But Dracula also stands as a bleak allegorical saga of an eternally cursed being whose nocturnal atrocities reflect the dark underside of the supremely moralistic age in which it was originally written -- and the corrupt desires that continue to plague the modern human condition.
Pocket Books Enriched Classics present the great works of world literature enhanced for the contemporary reader. This edition of Dracula was prepared by Joseph Valente, Professor of English at the University of Illinois and the author of Dracula's Crypt: Bram Stoker, Irishness, and the Question of Blood, who provides insight into the racial connotations of this enduring masterpiece.

评分那个年代还是很单纯的：吸血鬼仍然是邪恶的象征；他们和人类还是敌对关系；他们还惧怕十字架、大蒜和阳光；他们仍然数量稀少。后来，为了提升人们的感官刺激，并突破一直以来人类对于吸血鬼的认识，越来越多的编辑就开始不走寻常路了：吸血鬼可以在阳光下自由来去了；他们必定...
评分相信很多人同我一样，第一次接触到吸血鬼方面的文艺作品是大导演科波拉的《吸血惊情四百年》（英文原名就是，《Dracula》）。因为电影本身已经足够赏心悦目，所以很长时间都没有动过看原著的念头。留在心里的印象就是，《Dracula》应该是一部歌特风格的小说。 其实有...
评分In Victorian age, women are forced to play the role of a good mother, a submissive wife, a lovely sister, while men could do pretty much everything. In the end of 19th century, however, women start to realize gender inequality and fight for it. We h...
