Dracula. Stoker B.

This publication is an attempt to recreate a complex and contradictory portrait of the Valash ruler Vlad Basaraba, whose gloomy glory was laid by the Irish writer Bram Stoker, the basis of his famous Dracula (1897). It is this consideration that was dictated by the composition of the book, which includes, along with the new translation of the novel, which did not enter into the canonical text the chapter “Guest of Dracula”, as well as the written evidence of the two contemporaries of the pathologically cruel Valash Lord: the anonymous Russian author (the allegedly influential tsarist diplomat F. Kuritsyn ) and the Austrian Minnesnser M. Behaim. A serious scientific apparatus - articles of famous domestic philologists, thorough notes and fragments of fundamental labor to R. Floresko and R. Macnelly “In Search of Dracula” - favorably distinguishes this original historical and literary project from purely commercial publications. The editors believe that the Russian reader will appreciate the new translation of the legendary work, which was made by the doctor of philological sciences, which the author, which is close to the circle of the Order of the Golden Dawn, did not consider a classic “Roman of horror” - rather a complex system of occult symbols, lurking the secret to the hidden. The meaning of the story of an ominous vampire.
