Great read.

Stories like this have defined the term 'Classics' in Modern Literature, and this one deservedly so. I almost feel a sympathy for the generations of film makers who, no doubt wholeheartedly, attempted to bring this tale to the silver screen but manage only to create a dim reflection of a truly gripping tale. The old adage of the book being better than the film is a necessary cliche in this instance.

The original text has held its own for over a Century, and rightly so. The style in which it is written ( Mostly journal entries and letters) may take some getting used to for the modern reader, as might the language and culture of the Victorian era; but these are literary tools in defining the characters and building suspense within the unfolding drama. So too, the seeming drag in narration and events towards the end may be an effort on the part of the Author to enhance suspense and the character's own growing frustrations; as well as (perhaps) the serialization of most fiction written at that time; it may have served to 'flesh out' the story.

By far the most memorable characterization is that of Van Helsing. Easy to see now, how the modern writer/producer has capitalized on the theme of such a man, as have many authors no doubt, 'borrowed' heavily or discreetly from the original theme/plot and characters, especially the Count himself who retains his terrifying immortality after all - Albeit in literary fiction and the countless spin-offs beginning with this, one of the most original and best told tales of horror and suspense.

4.5 stars.

I’m happy to explain why Dracula does not quite reach a 5-star high for me, but there are minor spoilers.

Surely, I’m not the only reader out there who wrongly assumed this Gothic fiction classic was written by a Transylvanian and that the plot takes place in Transylvania? It starts there, but the majority of scenes are set in Britain, and it was written by an Irishman, Abraham (Bram) Stoker.

Dracula has been on my ‘to read’ list for nearly a lifetime. Thinking back, the delays had quite a bit to do with thinking the trailers and stills from movies appeared silly and unconvincing.

I imagine this novel is likely far superior to any adaption. And talking of imagination, the author invited me to let mine run amok. He knew how to create fear and atmosphere. He achieved this in an epistolary novel – with letters, diaries and reports - and I really liked that format.

I recently watched an episode of Joanna Lumley’s travel series around the UK and nearly fell off my chair when she visited Whitby, a North Yorkshire seaside city with ruins of a moody 7th Century monastery-come-abbey, and reported these were referenced in the story. This certainly sparked my interest and bumped Dracula up the list.

I really enjoyed this read, slightly marred by a couple of lulls in the text that dragged. There was a bit of sexism too, you know, the ‘Off you go now, my dear, while the men retire to smoke cigars and talk men’s business’ type of sexism, but I was forgiving given it was written in the Victorian era, and that’s not to say there was no gutsy female who came to the fore.

I think it’s now time to give the 1992-film, with Gary Oldman in the lead, another chance.

Fascinating to read this tale that has so stimulated imagination and art culture in the West. Very different from the modern version of the sensuous vampire.

Bom, comecei a ler Drácula graças a uma amiga muito querida do meu curso que comentou comigo sobre uma "newsletter" desse romance, que é em forma de cartas. Achei uma proposta sensacional, receber no email as cartas no dia em que elas são mencionadas no livro. É uma experiência fascinante seguir nessa expectativa de se tem novas "cartas" para ler e seguir nesse fluxo de leitura mais lento. Eu já comecei com um mês e um pouquinho depois do início, mas consegui acompanhar e foi maravilhoso. Sobre a história, nem tem como não elogiar o quão interessante é ler Drácula, não só por ser a figura base do que entendemos por vampiros hoje em dia, como também as outras leituras que vamos fazendo de elementos da época. Super recomendo a experiência para todas as pessoas que gostam de leituras mais ligadas a esses seres folclóricos e sombrios.
