Synopsis "Dracula (in Spanish)"

Durante una visita de negocios al castillo del Conde Drácula en Transilvania; un joven abogado inglés se encuentra en el centro de una serie de horribles incidentes. Jonathan Harker es atacado por tres mujeres fantasmas; observa la transformación del Conde de ser humano a forma de murciélago y descubre heridas de punción en su propio cuello que parecen haber sido hechas por dientes. Harker regresa a casa tras su escape de la sombría fortaleza de Drácula; pero la extraña enfermedad de un amigo; que incluye el sonambulismo; la inexplicable pérdida de sangre y las misteriosas heridas de garganta; inicia una frenética búsqueda de vampiros. La popularidad del romance de terror de Bram Stoker en 1897 es tan inmortal como cualquier vampiro. Su atractivo sobrenatural ha generado una gran cantidad de adaptaciones cinematográficas y teatrales; y más de un siglo después de su publicación inicial; continúa cautivando a los lectores.

Abraham "Bram" Stoker (Clontarf; November 8, 1847-London; April 20, 1912) was an Irish novelist and writer, known for his novel Dracula

His early horror stories, such as "The Crystal Cup" (1872), were published by the London Society, and The Chain of Destiny in the Shamrock magazine. In 1876, while working as a civil servant, he wrote a textbook named The Duties of Clerks of Petty Sessions in Ireland (1879), this book was used as a reference for a long time

Being a theater critic for the Dublin Evening Mail, co-owned by the famous Gothic novelist Sheridan Le Fanu, one of the most important of his time for stories like Carmilla, about a vampire, greatly influenced Stoker when writing Dracula. Stoker's critique of the play was high praise for the performance in Hamlet by actor Henry Irving, who hired him to be his personal secretary and manager of the Lyceum Theatre in London

While working for Irving, he was a literary critic for the Daily Telegraph and wrote several novels like The Snake's Pass (1890) and Dracula (1897) and, after Irving's death in 1905, The Lady of the Shroud (1909) and The Lair of the White Worm (1911)

His wife was the administrator of his literary estate, and she made known works such as what would be the introduction to Dracula, the short story Dracula's Guest
