The young English solicitor Jonathan Harker sets out on a business trip to the Carpathian Mountains, to a remote region that is not depicted on any map. Upon his arrival, he meets the eerie Count Dracula in his castle - though only ever between sunset and sunrise. What begins as a strange yet seemingly harmless encounter soon plunges Harker and his fiancée Mina into a spiralling nightmare ...
First published in 1897, Dracula remains one of the most chilling and iconic tales in world literature - as gripping and contemporary today as it was over a century ago. This legendary gothic novel about a bloodthirsty vampire is at the same time a literary journey into the depths of the human subconscious, into our suppressed fears and longings. A haunting drama of desire, power, and identity.
