Mengenai Pengarang
Abraham ‘Bram’ Stoker was born in 1847 in Dublin, Ireland. The third son of a total of seven siblings, he suffered in the early years of his life from poor health that prevented him from even moving around. During this period, he spent his time listening to his mother’s stories and compulsively reading books and tales of supernatural horror, which must have contributed greatly to his creative development.
He graduated in mathematics, worked as a journalist, civil servant, and theater director. But throughout these years, he always wrote stories. For a long time he was the manager of the Lyceum Theatre in London, which put him in contact with London’s intellectual core of the time, especially the actor Henry Irving, a friend and probable influence on the creation of the Count of Transylvania.
His best-known book, DRACULA, was published in 1897. He died in London on April 20, 1912, at home, in the company of his wife Florence.
