reluctant readers: airy, uncomplicated page

design, shortened sentences, easy-reading

FACTS ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Abraham Stoker was born in Dublin,

Ireland, in 1847 This was a time when

reports of vampirism were rampant among

superstitious people As a child, Bram, as he

was called, was often confined to his bed with

illness Unable to play with the other

children, young Bram began to develop his

lifelong fascination with books and literature

After recovering his health, Stoker

attended Trinity College in Dublin and

became a champion athlete When he left

school, he followed his father in a career

with the Irish civil service But office work

bored the imaginative young man An avid

theater-goer, he started writing (without

pay) drama criticism for his hometown

newspaper, The Dublin Mail.

In the year of 1876, the world’s foremost

Shakespearean actor, Sir Henry Irving,

came to Dublin to perform Irving

befriended the young man, and in 1878,

Stoker took a job as Irving’s manager and

secretary—a position he would hold untilthe famous actor’s death in 1905

Stoker continued to write drama

criticism and articles for The Dublin Mail

during his years with Irving A year after

Irving’s death he published Personal

Reminiscences of Henry Irving He then

went on to write little-known stories and

novels including The Lair of the White

Worm and The Snake’s Pass.

Dracula, Stoker’s macabre masterpiece,

was written in 1897, while Stoker was stillemployed by Irving The publication of thisclassic tale of horror brought him

immediate success Even today Dracula

stands as one of the great gothic novels ofall time Dozens of films have been based

on this chilling story

In his later years, Stoker wrote literary

and theater criticism for the London

Telegraph He died on April 20, 1912.

CHAPTER SUMMARIES

CHAPTER 1

Jonathan Harker, a young businessman,

travels from London to Transylvania in

order to deliver some documents to Count

Dracula Before setting out he researches

Transylvania at the British Museum There

he learns that this country is the source of

most of the world’s superstitions So he is

not surprised when the innkeeper’s wife,

as well as other passengers in the carriage

he takes, are worried about his destination

Jonathan soon learns that Dracula’s

castle is indeed a frightful place, and his

strange-looking host makes Jonathan even

more uncomfortable

CHAPTER 2

After a short discussion with the Count,

Jonathan feels uneasy about the man’s odd

behavior Soon he has even more reason

to worry: Dracula’s reflection does not

show up in Jonathan’s mirror, and the

sinister-looking man is able to crawl up

and down the castle walls like a lizard!

Jonathan begins to suspect that there is

no one in the castle but Dracula and

himself Then he is nearly attacked one

night by three strange women who have

mysteriously entered his room Now it

seems to him that the castle is a prison and

he must quickly find a way to escape

CHAPTER 3

While investigating the castle one day,

Jonathan is horrified to find Dracula in an

underground chapel, lying in a box of

freshly dug earth There are 49 more such

coffin-shaped boxes in the same room!Perplexed and frightened, Jonathan returns

to his room, where he can hear the threestrange women talking just outside hisdoor He overhears Dracula telling them

to have patience—that Jonathan will be alltheirs tomorrow night!

Horrified, Jonathan returns to the chapelthe next day and unsuccessfully searchesthe unconscious Dracula’s body for a key

to the front door He is frantic to make hisescape! Seeing fresh blood on Dracula’slips, he considers beating Dracula to deathwith a shovel, but is frightened away byhis evil gaze

CHAPTER 4

A young woman named Mina Murrayarrives in the town of Whitby to visit herfriend, Lucy Westenra Mina finds Mrs.Westenra, Lucy’s mother, concerned abouther daughter’s “sleepwalking.” Lucy’shealth continues to fail, however, and Mrs.Westenra calls in Dr Seward, who in turnsends for Professor Van Helsing, aspecialist in treating rare diseases

In the meantime, a storm-tossed shipcomes ashore during a violent storm.Mysteriously, the crew is missing and adead man is found tied to the helm Aftermuch worry over not hearing from herfiancé, Mina gets word that Jonathan hasbeen sick for weeks, and confined to ahospital in Budapest She hurries there tonurse him, and they are immediatelymarried in the hospital room

Trang 9

CHAPTER 5

During Mina’s stay in Budapest, Lucy’s

health inexplicably worsens Dr Seward

notices some improvement when Lucy’s

fiancé, Arthur Holmwood, allows his blood

to be used for a transfusion Van Helsing

insists that Lucy must never be left alone

at night, but one night Dr Seward falls

asleep, and Lucy’s condition is very bad

the next morning She has grown terribly

pale, and her gums have shrunken back

from her teeth When Dr Seward donates

blood for another transfusion, Lucy seems

to recover

CHAPTER 6

Suspecting that Lucy is the victim of a

vampire, Van Helsing decorates her room

with garlic flowers to ward off the evil

monster Yet for all Van Helsing’s efforts,

Lucy’s health continues to fail and at last

she dies Since the girl’s throat has been

torn open, Lucy’s mother, a woman with a

weak heart, also dies as the probable result

of fright: It appears that a large animal,

possibly a wolf, had been in Lucy’s room

Strangely, Lucy’s loveliness returns

after her death At this point, no one is

absolutely certain—although Van Helsing

is increasingly suspicious—that the young

woman has become a vampire herself

CHAPTER 7

In London, Jonathan spots Dracula in

disguise, and Mina receives a telegram

saying that Lucy and her mother have both

died While planning to return to Whitby,

Mina reads Jonathan’s journal and wonders

if the fantastic tale he tells there is true

When Van Helsing visits her, however, she

is both relieved and horrified when every

horror Jonathan described is verified

CHAPTER 8

A newspaper article about lost childrenbeing found with puncture wounds in theirthroats alarms Van Helsing By forcing Dr.Seward to join him in two visits to Lucy’stomb, he proves that Lucy has become avampire The two men make a plan todestroy the evil Count Dracula ThenJonathan and Mina return to Whitby Therethey join forces with Dr Seward and VanHelsing to search for the Count Dr Seward

is shocked to learn that Dracula’s property

in London is right next to his own

CHAPTER 9

Having no keys, the men break intoCarfax, Dracula’s London estate, anddiscover 29 dirt-filled coffins there Alawyer, Thomas Snelling, gives them theother addresses to which the shipload ofcoffins were delivered Meanwhile, Minahas fallen victim to Dracula! Dr Seward,Van Helsing, and Jonathan now know theymust hurry to destroy the Count beforeMina turns into a vampire By the end ofthe day they have located and purified 49

of the 50 coffins in several old houses theCount had recently purchased in London

CHAPTER 10

Mina reads the Count’s mind while underhypnosis When she reveals that he is onboard a ship somewhere, Seward and VanHelsing visit the Port of London Therethey discover the name of Dracula’s shipand later figure out the route he is mostlikely to take in making his way back toTransylvania In Varna, they wait a week

for the Czarina Catherine to arrive In a

trance state, Mina continues to report thatDracula is aboard ship But Van Helsingand Dr Seward have no idea where he is

Trang 10

CHAPTER 11

Van Helsing and Dr Seward are amazed

to hear that the ship has docked at Galatz,

an inland port Desperate now, they realize

that one way or another, Dracula must

eventually go through the Borgo Pass to

reach his castle There they await him and

soon see a wagon approaching on the road

On the wagon is a coffin-shaped box, just

like those they had purified in London!

After a fierce knife fight with the wagondriver and his helper, they pry open the lid

of the box and find the Count lying on abed of fresh earth As Jonathan stabs thehated vampire, Dr Seward plunges a knifeinto his heart At that, Dracula’s bodydisappears from sight—just moments after

an unearthly look of peace appears on thevampire’s face
