Dracula A Novel on Eternal Love and Infinite Grief

Wer Heidi weder geguckt noch gelesen hat, sollte es unbedingt nachholen!!! Die Geschichte findet in einer Idylle in den Bergen statt, wo Heidi mit ihrem Freund Peter Abenteuer erlebt, während sie von Tieren und Natur umgeben sind.

I am a german native speaker and I read this in English. I find it super easy to understand, even the dialects with a few research are understandable. It's super interesting, it's an absolutely page turner and it is with Rebecca my new favourite in the genre of classics.

What a ride! The characters, the story and of course the drama make this book an unforgettable classic. Is it too long? Yes. Is it still worth reading? Oh, hell yes! From creepy horror elements to delicious vampiric bloodsucking action – you will find it all inside these pages. We accompany our five male heroes: the husband, the psychiatrist, the fiancé, the American and the foreign monster hunter expert, as they stumble through a plot they are completely unable to understand, until their guarding angel, purity of womanhood, damsel in distress and goodness incarnated aka Mina Harker assesses the situation for about three seconds and delivers the long-elusive solution without stepping on the brave men’s toes. The way they worship this woman is something I did no expect to read in a 130 year old classic written by a man. I also did not expect a woman to have a leading role without being the love interest. And the Count is just everything you could ever wish for in a villain: evil, sinister, with no moral compass whatsoever and a penchant for spectacular performances. I love this man.

Bram Stokers Dracula ist zurecht ein Klassiker, den jeder Fan von düsterer Fantasy-Literatur gelesen haben sollte. Sprachlich ist es einfach ein Meisterwerk, das auch sehr lesenswert ist wenn man die Handlung bereits kennt. Die Penguin-Ausgabe kommt in einem schönen minimalistischen Design und macht dadurch auch optisch viel her.

Beautiful book cover and a great story. Its slightly smalle then the other Barnes and Noble books but still gorgeous.
