Bram Stoke
Über den Autor
Bram Stoker was an Irish author best known for his 1897 novel "Dracula," which is considered one of the most famous works in the gothic horror genre. His portrayal of Count Dracula has had a profound impact on the depiction of vampires in literature and popular culture. Stoker's fascination with folklore and the supernatural influenced his writings, creating a legacy that has endured through numerous adaptations in film, theater, and literature.
Stoker's career began in theater, where he worked as a business manager for the Lyceum Theatre in London, which was owned by the famous actor Henry Irving. This experience not only enriched his understanding of dramatic storytelling but also introduced him to a range of influential figures in the arts. Throughout his life, he continued to write various novels and short stories, but none garnered the same acclaim as "Dracula." Despite his success, Stoker remained somewhat in the shadows of the literary world, often overshadowed by his more famous contemporaries.
