The binding has also been reproduced, based on original covers, scanned at the highest resolution, which are worn, just like the books that are on sale today, but with their price multiplied by thousands.What is different among other books.Today you can find many reprints of Dracula, some with added text, some with pictures, but none of them have been reissued trying to keep the look of the original edition. To have an original edition is within the reach of very few.What Dracula is about.Dracula is a classic horror novel; perhaps the quintessential classic of the genre. In Bram Stoker's work, the figure of the vampire, inspired by popular belief, found its perfect form. The author incorporates elements of ancient legends and oral traditions into a fascinating gothic novel. With great skill, he places the vampire of seemingly bygone times in modern times. On the threshold of the 20th century, in an age characterised by scientific and technical progress, Stoker evokes the mysterious, supernatural and inexplicable evil. And although he does so in the format of romanticism, as a montage of diaries and letters, even today the reading of the book leaves us breathless. The gradual revelation of the undead is as thrillingly staged as their encirclement. Dracula is a kind of original text through which the vampire's triumphal march into cinema and popular culture could begin. The fact that Stoker alludes discreetly but overtly to the various possibilities of interpreting the vampire myth - among others, the social and the erotic - further contributes to the fascination of the legend.
