En savoir plus sur le livre

London lawyer Jonathan Harker travels to Transylvania at the request of Count Dracula, who has purchased a house in London and wishes to finalize the transaction through his solicitor. During his journey, Harker encounters strange occurrences, including a local woman who gives him a rosary for protection. Upon arriving in Bistritz, he takes a coach and is picked up by a driver at Borgo Pass, who takes him to the Count's residence. The initial days are calm, but Harker is instructed not to enter certain rooms, a request he promises to honor. He soon notices that the Count has no reflection and exhibits a ravenous expression at the sight of blood when Harker accidentally cuts himself while shaving. The Count's unsettling appearance, with long white teeth and strikingly red lips, fills Harker with dread, leading him to fear for his life. The Count compels him to send seemingly innocuous letters to his fiancée and employer, while offering Harker a chance to escape, though he is too terrified to pass by the wolves under the Count's control.
