Giới thiệu về sách điện tử này

Welcome to the3 Books To Knowseries, our idea is to help readers learn about fascinating topics through three essential and relevant books. These carefully selected works can be fiction, non-fiction, historical documents or even biographies. We will always select for you three great works to instigate your mind, this time the topic is:Vampires. When you think of vampires, you think of Dracula. Bram Stoker's work defined the rules of the genre and influenced everyone who came after him. If Stoker's creature influenced generations, it was also influenced by earlier works. In Carmilla, Sheridan Le Fanu introduces a "lesbian chic" vampire: an aristocrat with a predilection for female victims. The vampire's idea as a not only grim but sensual creature begins with Carmilla. The oldest book in our collection is The Vampyre, considered the first modern vampire narrative. The author is John Polidori, doctor, and friend of Lord Byron. A curious fact: Polidori wrote this book in response to a bet on a party at the house of the poet Shelley. Of this same bet would also appear Frankenstein, of Mary Shelley. Literature would not be the same without this bet! This is one of many books in the series 3 Books To Know. If you liked this book, look for the other titles in the series, we are sure you will like some of the topics.

Giới thiệu tác giả

Bram Stoker (1847 -1912 ) studied mathematics at Dublin's Trinity College and embarked on his longtime role as an assistant to actor Sir Henry Irving in the 1870s. He also began carving out a second career as a writer, publishing his first novel, The Primrose Path, in 1875. Stoker published his most famous work, Dracula, in 1897, though he died before the fictional vampire would achieve widespread popularity though numerous film and literary adaptations in the 20th century. Considered "the father of the English ghost story," Irish author Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu is recognized for combining Gothic literary conventions with realistic technique to create tales of psychological insight and supernatural terror. Among his most highly regarded works is In a Glass Darkly (1872), a collection of horror stories that includes the earliest example of a vampire story in English literature. John William Polidori was an English writer and physician. He is known for his associations with the Romantic movement and credited by some as the creator of the vampire genre of fantasy fiction. His most successful work was the short story "The Vampyre" (1819), the first published modern vampire story. Although originally and erroneously accredited to Lord Byron, both Byron and Polidori affirmed that the story is Polidori's
