Joy Ogilvie, the lovely young daughter of an American colonel, fancies herself Lady Athlyne while playing make-believe with her friends. She hardly suspects that the real-life Lord Athlyne is a prisoner of war in a South African camp and that the captured Irish nobleman will catch word that an American woman has taken on the role of his would-be wife.Once he is released, Athlyne embarks upon a journey to New York to see the truth for himself. Having just barely escaped death in an accident, he stumbles head-first into Joy and her father. It is love at first sight for Athlyne and Joy, but Lady Fortune does not smile upon them. Not only is the couple faced with ill fortune and unanticipated hazards, but Joy's father is enraged by the love affair and urges Athlyne to a duel to the death. Will the star-crossed lovers survive?Penned by the author of 'Dracula', immortalised in the 1931 cult classic starring Bela Lugosi, 'Lady Athlene' remains one of the most authentic interpretations of mutual and undying love in English literature.-

"Mit dem Mondlicht kam ein wildes Säuseln des Sturms, der mit einem langen, tiefen Heulen wie von unzähligen Hunden oder Wölfen wieder anzuschwellen schien. Ich war von Furcht erfüllt, wie erstarrt und konnte die Kälte spürbar zunehmen fühlen, bis sie in mein Herz eingedrungen zu sein schien." Von schaurigen Friedhofsbegegnungen über dramatischen Verfolgungsjagden bis zu unheimlichen Mördern und mysteriösen Todesfällen ist in dieser Sammlung alles dabei. Gruselfans kommen auf ihre Kosten und streifen mit den Protagonisten der jeweiligen neun Geschichten durch scheinbar totenstille Städte und zwielichtige Gassen. Posthum wurden diese Kurzgeschichten veröffentlicht von der Witwe von Abraham "Brahm" Stoker (1847-1912). "Draculas Gast" ist ein Ausschnitt aus der ursprünglichen Version von "Dracula", an welchem er sieben Jahre lang schrieb und der ihm zu weltweitem Ruhm verhalf. Heutzutage gilt Bram Stoker als Gründer des modernen Vampirmythos.

One of the most famous pieces of English literature of all time, Dracula is a towering work of Gothic fiction whose archetypal characters-Count Dracula and Abraham Van Helsing-have permeated popular culture since their first appearance in 1897. Drawing on Transylvanian folklore, Bram Stoker weaves his tale of horror through newspaper articles and the letters, diary entries, journals, telegrams, and ship's logs of a small cast of characters whose perilous encounters with Dracula have harrowing if not fatal consequences. Dracula has been adapted for film more than thirty times-though seldom with complete fidelity to the original narrative that continues to captivate countless readers the world over and inspire adaptations of all kinds.This Warbler Classics edition includes an essay on Dracula criticism over time and a biographical note on the life and work of Bram Stoker.

The classic vampire tale begins with the journey of a young Englishman, Jonathan Harker, to Count Dracula's castle in th mountains of Transylvania. Jonathan Harker has helped the Count buy an old house in London, and the Count says he is looking forward to 'walking through the crowded streets of London and sharing its life and death'. Three months later a mysterious ship arrives at an English harbour carrying only fifty boxes of Transylvanian soil. Soon wolves, bats, and vampires haunt the streets of London, and it is up to the vampire-hunter, Professor Van Helsing, and his friends to find Count Dracula before it is too late.Easy Readers are adapted and abridged versions of novels and short stories. They are divided into level A, B, C, and D, A being the easiest. The levels match the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (level A2 to B2).

Il giovane avvocato Jonathan Harker, recatosi in Transilvania per curare l'acquisto di un immobile a Londra da parte del Conte Dracula, trova da subito una realta locale fatta di paura e superstizione: le leggende e le dicerie tramandate dalle persone del luogo gli intimano di tenersi ben lontani dal Conte, ma Harker decide di non ascoltarle.Ispirato alla figura di Vlad III, principe di Valacchia, "e;Dracula"e; e uno degli ultimi esempi di romanzi gotici della fine del Novecento che ha un pregio sopra tutti: quello di riprendere il mito del vampiro aristocratico, cupo e fascinoso, e di trasformarlo nel personaggio iconico che tutti oggi conosciamo. -
