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...
评分记得第一次看此书时,真是有够恐怖的,我一般不太喜欢看恐怖的作品。不过此书委实太有“名”了,是久经流行的吸血鬼作品的祖师,所以也就硬着头皮看下去了。前半部份很惊悚,后半部就没什么了。而此次阅读连恐怖感都没什么了。这与推理作品类似,在知道结局后再阅读之下吸引力...
