Dracula

«Dracula» by Bram Stoker gave Western culture an image of extraordinary symbolic power: the virtuously depicted title character stepped off the pages of the novel and began a life of his own in the collective consciousness. Thus, one of the most popular myths of the 20th century was born - the myth of vampirism. Although «Dracula» is far from the first narrative about vampires, it became the true classic of the genre and its standard. One of the main works of English horror literature impresses with unexpected and non-trivial plot twists, erotic subtexts, depictions of nightmares and wonders, the blurred boundaries between life and death, the real and the fantastic.
