Synopsis "Drácula (in Spanish)"

Publicado originalmente en 1987, Drácula se convirtió en una obra clásica del terror gótico. Su éxito en papel ha trascendido a la pantalla grande en múltiples ocasiones, con adaptaciones que se convirtieron también en piezas cinematográficas de culto, entre ellas la de F. W. Murnau de 1922, la dirigida por Tod Browning en 1931, y la de Francis Ford Coppola en 1992, por mencionar algunas. Jonathan Harker viaja a Transilvania para cerrar la venta de varias propiedades en Londres con un misterioso conde. Después de un viaje plagado de ominosas señales, Harker es recogido por un siniestro carruaje que lo llevará, acunado por el canto de los lobos, a un castillo en ruinas.

Abraham "Bram" Stoker (Clontarf; November 8, 1847-London; April 20, 1912) was an Irish novelist and writer, known for his novel Dracula

His early horror stories, such as "The Crystal Cup" (1872), were published by the London Society, and The Chain of Destiny in the Shamrock magazine. In 1876, while working as a civil servant, he wrote a textbook named The Duties of Clerks of Petty Sessions in Ireland (1879), this book was used as a reference for a long time

Being a theater critic for the Dublin Evening Mail, co-owned by the famous Gothic novelist Sheridan Le Fanu, one of the most important of his time for stories like Carmilla, about a vampire, greatly influenced Stoker when writing Dracula. Stoker's critique of the play was high praise for the performance in Hamlet by actor Henry Irving, who hired him to be his personal secretary and manager of the Lyceum Theatre in London

While working for Irving, he was a literary critic for the Daily Telegraph and wrote several novels like The Snake's Pass (1890) and Dracula (1897) and, after Irving's death in 1905, The Lady of the Shroud (1909) and The Lair of the White Worm (1911)

His wife was the administrator of his literary estate, and she made known works such as what would be the introduction to Dracula, the short story Dracula's Guest
