Possibly the most famous example of Gothic novels, Bram Stoker's 1897 masterpiece is the tale of Dracula, a vampire intent on increasing his tribe. The titular character, Count Dracula of Transylvania, has his arch nemesis in Abraham Van Helsing, the doctor knowledgeable of vampires and vampirism and ardent in his quest to destroy the cursed Count. After nearly escaping death in the Count's haunted castle, Jonathan Harker reunites with his fiancée Mina and their friends John, Qunicey and Arthur, who have already been beset by the Dracula's attacks on Mina's friends Lucy. Unable to save Lucy, despite Helsing's best efforts, the group decides to eliminate Dracula forever. They undertake on a dangerous mission, as Stoker invokes history, folklore, and religious stories in this epistolary novel. The group's repeated encounters with Dracula, possible death and the worst imaginable fate, becoming vampires themselves, keep the readers on an edge throughout the novel.

Spanish version

Los mejores libros jamás escritos Mucho más que una novela gótica, Drácula es un ejercicio literario excepcional. Jonathan Harker viaja a Transilvania para cerrar un negocio inmobiliario con un misterioso conde que acaba de comprar varias propiedades en Londres. Después de un viaje plagado de ominosas señales, Harker es recogido en el paso de Borgo por un siniestro carruaje que lo llevará, acunado por el canto de los lobos, a un castillo en ruinas. Tal es el inquietante principio de una novela magistral que alumbró uno de los mitos más populares y poderosos de todos los tiempos: Drácula. La presente edición incluye una detallada cronología y el prefacio del reputado catedrático y crítico Christopher Frayling, donde se analiza la figura de Stoker y las circunstancias que propiciaron la creación de Drácula. Asimismo, la perspicaz introducción a cargo del especialista Maurice Hindle reflexiona sobre los aspectos más polémicos en torno al origen del prototipo vampírico. «No había nadie por allí, excepto un hombre alto y flaco, de nariz ganchuda y barba en punta y entrecana. Tenía una mirada dura y fría y unos ojos de color rojo.» ENGLISH DESCRIPTION Purity is priceless ... Count Dracula's castle is a hellish world where night is day, pleasure is pain and the blood of the innocent prized above all. Young Jonathan Harker approaches the gloomy gates with no idea what he is about to face ... And back in England eerie incidents are unfolding as strange puncture marks appear on a young woman's neck ... But can Harker's fiancée be saved? And where is the evil Dracula?
