작가정보

저자(글) Bram Stoker

Bram Stoker (1847-1912) was an Irish author best known for his Gothic horror novel Dracula. Born in Dublin, he overcame a serious childhood illness to later excel in both academics and athletics. He attended Trinity College, Dublin, where he developed a passion for literature and drama. Stoker's career took a significant turn when he became the personal assistant of the famous actor Henry Irving, leading to his long tenure as the business manager of the Lyceum Theatre in London.
In 1897, Stoker published Dracula, which became his most famous work. The novel tells the story of Count Dracula's attempt to move from Transylvania to England and the efforts of a group of people to stop him. Dracula has become a defining piece of Gothic literature, influencing countless adaptations in film, theater, and pop culture. Its themes of fear, sexuality, and the unknown reflect societal anxieties of the late 19th century.
Although Stoker wrote other novels and short stories, Dracula remains his most enduring legacy. His other works never quite achieved the same level of fame. Stoker continued his literary and managerial work until his death in 1912, leaving behind a lasting impact on horror literature.
