Autorenporträt
Abraham Stoker, known widely as Bram Stoker, was an Irish author born on November 8, 1847, in Clontarf, Dublin. Stoker's literary career blossomed during the Victorian era, a period renowned for its stringent social norms and a burgeoning interest in Gothic literature. Stoker's masterpiece, 'Dracula,' published in 1897, is a seminal work that cemented his legacy as a prominent figure in the annals of horror fiction. The novel, which takes epistolary form, intertwines folklore, myths about vampires, and contemporary anxieties of its time, weaving a tale that has, since publication, given rise to numerous adaptations across various media. Stoker's 'Dracula' remains a keystone of the genre, eliciting both academic and popular discussions about its themes of sexuality, colonialism, and the supernatural. Stoker's narrative style in 'Dracula' skillfully combines realistic and supernatural elements, contributing to the novel's enduring status as an exemplar of the Gothic novel. Bram Stoker's other notable works, though overshadowed by the fame of 'Dracula,' such as 'The Jewel of Seven Stars' and 'The Lair of the White Worm,' further showcase his fascination with the macabre and the otherworldly. His writings frequently explore the tension between modernity and the primal, science and superstition. Stoker passed away on April 20, 1912, but his legendary creation, Count Dracula, continues to haunt the imagination of readers worldwide.
