Bram Stoker
Copyright 1996 (Modern library edition) Bram Stoker was born November 8, 1847, in Clontarf Ireland, north of Dublin. His full name was Abraham Stocker. He was the son of Abraham and Charlotte. He was the third of seven children. For the first 7 years of his life Bram was bedridden with a flurry of childhood diseases. This led him to spend much of his time reading. Later in his life, after healing from his diseases, he attended Trinity College in Dublin. There, he was an honor student, played soccer, and was involved in marathon running. After he graduated from college he followed in his fathers' footsteps, and became a civil servant at Dublin castle as a junior clerk. He began his literary career in 1871, when he took up a post as the unpaid drama critic for the "Evening Mail," while he was also writing short stories. His first literary success came in 1872, when the London Society published his short story "The Crystal Cup." Bram Stoker encountered Henry Irving, who he had once critiqued while he was at Trinity College. Stoker saw his portrayal of the role Hamlet and wrote a favorable review of it. Irving was impressed with Stoker's review. This resulted in Irving inviting Stoker backs
Dracula was then published in June 1897. However, a group of friends, including a professor, a psychologist, an American, a rich man, as well as Mr. I've never read a book that was mostly journal entries, also, I've never read a book that even anything to do with vampires of any sort. They systematically destroy his coffins with holy wafers and chase him out of England back to Castle Dracula. Harker and his wife Mina, learn of the Count's sinister plan. He didn't like the management, and therefore approached Stoker to handle the business. With the diaries, it's an up front perspective of the story, like you're right there in all of the action. In order to understand the book fully one has to read the entries of all the people. Bram Stoker wrote an intriguing book. The most memorable part of the book for me was the final chapter. The only part that comes to mind is when Harker finds that he's trapped in the Count's castle and he talked about how he went mad for a little while. I can understand why he would say that.
