Bram Stoker

Molodoj londonskij advokat po porucheniju svoego patrona edet v zagadochnuju Transilvaniju v zamok tainstvennogo grafa Drakuly, sovershenno ne podozrevaja, chto zhdet ego tam... Kultovyj roman o vampirakh, superbestseller vsekh vremen i narodov. V kropotlivoj issledovatelskoj rabote nad nim Stoker provel vosem let, izuchal evropejskij i v osobennosti irlandskij folklor, mify, predanija i ljubye upominanija o vampirakh i krovososakh. "Drakula" byl napisan esche v 1897 godu i s tekh por vyderzhal mnozhestvo pereizdanij. Ego neodnokratno ekranizirovali, v tom chisle takoj metr kinematografa, kak Frensis Ford Koppola.

Retrokhorror vo vsem svoem velikolepii! Roman "Drakula" irlandskogo pisatelja Brema Stokera byl vpervye opublikovan v 1897 godu. So vremenem on priobrel status kultovogo, perezhil mnozhestvo ekranizatsij i dazhe porodil modu na "vampiricheskuju temu", kotoraja derzhitsja uzhe vtoroe stoletie. Pered vami shedevr na vse vremena - ne prosto roman uzhasov, no bessmertnoe proizvedenie o ljubvi. Roman predlagaetsja vashemu vnimaniju v raritetnom klassicheskom perevode Niny Sandrovoj 1912 goda, poetomu interpretatsija nekotorykh imen i nazvanij mozhet otlichatsja ot privychnoj ukhu sovremennogo chitatelja, no kuda vazhnee staromodnoe ocharovanie dorevoljutsionnoj prozy, kotoroe sokhranil "Drakula" v etom variante. Knigu otkryvaet rasskaz "Gost Drakuly" - nekogda udalennaja izdatelem pervaja glava romana.

Anglijskij prozaik irlandskogo proiskhozhdenija Brem Stoker (1847-1912) obrel mirovuju slavu kak avtor romana "Drakula" (1897), v kotorom, soediniv folklornye i literaturnye sjuzhety o vampirakh s figuroj krovavogo valashskogo pravitelja XV veka, sozdal novogo, vo vsekh smyslakh slova bessmertnogo geroja. Odnako na stranitsakh etogo toma chitatel vstretitsja ne tolko s pisatelem-neomifologom, chej graf-vampir voshel v panteon vechnykh obrazov mirovoj literatury i kultury, no i s sovsem inym Stokerom: mistikom, povestvujuschim o tajnykh magicheskikh ritualakh Drevnego Egipta i sekretakh balzamirovanija, o raskhischenii grobnits i stranstvijakh dushi posle smerti; ironichnym avtorom veselykh i ozornykh sketchej na teatralnye temy; belletristom-eksperimentatorom, kotoromu ne chuzhdy samye raznye zhanrovye traditsii i stilisticheskie tonalnosti - ot melodramy do tragikomedii, ot otkrovennogo groteska do otkrytogo uzhasa, ot "chernogo jumora" do pritchi.

Nastojaschij viktorianskij dzhentlmen vsegda pridet na pomosch dame, osobenno esli tajno vljublen v nee, kak molodoj londonskij advokat Malkolm Ross v doch izvestnogo egiptologa-ljubitelja i sobiratelja drevnostej Abelja Treloni. No trevogi i strakhi Margaret otnjud ne bespochvenny - ee otets lezhit bez pamjati mezhdu zhiznju i smertju, a ruka ego pokryta uzhasnymi krovavymi ranami neizvestnogo proiskhozhdenija... Chto proizoshlo? Kto napal na ljubitelja drevnikh dikovin v zapertom kabinete? Ne svjazano li sluchivsheesja s rasstavlennymi tam v strannom porjadke artefaktami, kotorye on strogo-nastrogo zapretil trogat ili perestavljat? Malkolm Ross ischet istinu, otbrasyvaja odnu versiju za drugoj. I postepenno osoznaet: prichiny sluchivshegosja lezhat daleko ot obydennykh i razumnykh...

Kniga "Strashno zagadochnye istorii" vkljuchaet v sebja dvenadtsat samykh neverojatnykh istorij s zaputannymi sjuzhetami i znamenitymi gerojami. Samye strashnye i zakhvatyvajuschie proizvedenija Artura Konan Dojla, Meri Shelli, Aleksandra Djuma, Edgara Allana Po i drugikh klassikov zarubezhnoj literatury zhdut vas na stranitsakh etoj knigi. Pereskaz proizvedenij vypolnen prekrasnym stilistom, znatokom russkogo jazyka M. Mikhajlovym spetsialno dlja detej, chtoby razvit u nikh interes k proizvedenijam bolshikh literaturnykh form. Dlja srednego shkolnogo vozrasta.

Desjatki vsevozmozhnykh ekranizatsij. Obraz, rastirazhirovannyj v mirovoj kulture, kak, navernoe, ni odin drugoj. Roman, stavshij osnovoj vsej "goticheskoj" subkultury i kraeugolnym kamnem razlichnykh napravlenij v fantasticheskoj literature. O "Drakule" Brema Stokera mozhno govorit beskonechno, no luchshe prosto otkryt bessmertnyj roman o zloveschem i zagadochnom transilvanskom grafe-vampire i pogruzitsja v egoprichudlivuju, tainstvennuju i zavorazhivajuschuju atmosferu.

Romantic and Horrific Stories (2021) is a collection of short fiction by Bram Stoker. Although he is largely remembered as the author of Dracula (1897), one of the greatest horror novels of all time, Stoker was a versatile writer whose gift for transmitting terror is matched by his ability to craft convincing and moving tales of love. “The Crystal Cup,” first published in London Society in 1872, is the story of an artist who is forced to create a flawless crystal vase for the king. Having left his wife and home behind, he suffers under a series of constraints and grueling demands. “The Chain of Destiny” is a bestselling epistolary tale featuring hypnotism, magic, and supernatural elements that first appeared in The Shamrock in 1875. In Stoker’s 1898 tale “Bengal Roses,” A teenager from the country falls for a beautiful young woman, but soon discovers she loves an older cavalry officer. First published in Lloyd’s Weekly Newspaper in 1899, “A Yellow Duster” is the story of two old men whose lifelong friendship is threatened by a mysterious secret. Curious about a dust rag found in his friend’s display case, the story’s protagonist asks the collector of rare and priceless objects why he has preserved something so seemingly worthless. Other stories collected herein include “Our New House,” published in the Boston Herald in 1895, as well as “The Burial of the Rats” and “A Dream of Red Hands,” both of which appeared in Dracula’s Guest and Other Stories (1914). Romantic and Horrific Stories compiles a dozen works of short fiction by Bram Stoker, the secretive and vastly underrated creator of Dracula, one of history’s greatest villains. With a beautifully designed cover and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of Bram Stoker’s Romantic and Horrific Stories is a classic of Irish literature reimagined for modern readers.
