Dracula

Though Stoker did not invent vampires - and in fact based his character's life-in-death on extensive research into European folklore - his novel elevated the nocturnal monster to iconic stature, spawning a genre of stories and movies which flourishes to this day.

Desi Stoker nu a inventat vampiri - si de fapt si-a bazat viata in moarte a personajului sau pe cercetari ample asupra folclorului european - romanul sau a ridicat monstrul nocturn la o statura iconica, dand nastere unui gen de povesti si filme care infloreste pana in zilele noastre.
