Produktbeschreibungen
Amazon.com
Dracula is one of the few horror books to be honored by inclusion in the Norton Critical Edition series. (The others are Frankenstein, The Turn of the Screw, Heart of Darkness, The Picture of Dorian Gray, and The Metamorphosis.) This 100th-anniversary edition includes not only the complete authoritative text of the novel with illuminating footnotes, but also four contextual essays, five reviews from the time of publication, five articles on dramatic and film variations, and seven selections from literary and academic criticism. Nina Auerbach of the University of Pennsylvania (author of Our Vampires, Ourselves) and horror scholar David J. Skal (author of Hollywood Gothic, The Monster Show, and Screams of Reason) are the editors of the volume. Especially fascinating are excerpts from materials that Bram Stoker consulted in his research for the book, and his working papers over the several years he was composing it. The selection of criticism includes essays on how Dracula deals with female sexuality, gender inversion, homoerotic elements, and Victorian fears of "reverse colonization" by politically turbulent Transylvania.
Synopsis
An edited edition of the classic novel by Bram Stoker. Jonathan Harker, incarcerated in a Transylvanian castle, has an alluring but terrifying dream of three women, eager to prey upon him. His host and jailer is none other than Count Dracula, or Nosferatu, the Un-Dead, controller of the wolves.

First a very brief opinion on the story itself, as professional reviews on it are abundant: interesting, classic, not excelling. Stoker doubtless has his weaknesses, but his strength lies in subtleties that make this edition a much worthier investment than any others I know.
The reason for this is that this edition not only shows what Stoker does wrong, but also gives deep insights into all the little details and hints that the author hid throughout his story, which are plentiful and interesting. The reader finds himself fascinated, say, by Dracula's rendering of his race's history, that of the Székelys (note the accent). Without the multitude of annotations that this edition provides, the reader would be lost in the avalanche of information, unless he/she brings previous expertise on the subject.
Of course these annotations might disturb some readers, as sometimes they cover half the page. I shall not recommend this edition to readers who prefer a smooth read, but I must say I do not consider this book to be for that kind of readership in the first place.
Unfortunately, as detailed, professional and well-conceived everything in this edition is, there is one obvious flaw about it. Certainly that imperfection arises from Stoker's time, when it was not possible to use all the character sets on the typing-devices that are available today, especially not for languages from regions as obscure as Transylvania. The foreign words are close to original, but still they are transcribed into English letters. For example, all accents are missing from Hungarian words. An implementation of the proper words I would have found desirable for such an edition.
Still I think this edition is the one to go for, since it will definitely show the reader why this book is a classic despite being scolded for its alleged mediocrity.

Anders als in den Büchern Stephanie Meyers ist hier ein Vampir auch noch ein Blutsauger, kein Vegetarier, der sich benehmen muss.Es ist auch eine überaus traurige Liebesgeschichte bis in die Ewigkeit.
Verführung und Versuchung garantiert und eine Kritik an prüden Menschen, die die Nachtseite ihrer Natur verleugnen. Erleuchtung garantiert

The main prolem with this book is that Bram Stoker was not a very good writer. What he "created" here is the first popular version of a creature that had already been written about several times even in his time. Bram Stokers vampire, probably because it had the history of a real life monster, captured the publics imagination and this book only sells on the back of a culture that sprang from a great creation in a mediocre story.
This will only interest those who enthuse about horror and, specifically vampires.
