description: This Prestwick House Literary Touchstone Classics ™ edition of Dracula includes a glossary and notes to help the modern reader appreciate Stoker' s allusions, rich vocabulary, and Victorian setting.An apparently routine business venture becomes a battle for a young man' s very soul. Almost too late, Jonathan Harker realizes that the charismatic and seductive Count Dracula of Transylvania has come to England with a purpose much more sinister than merely to purchase an English estate. Will the Count succeed in his quest to create a race of blood-lusting creatures of the night? Which will prove the stronger — superstition or science? Defiantly challenging Victorian conventions, Bram Stoker 's Dracula examines the nature of evil and arrives at the horrific conclusion that the forces which would destroy humanity are not lurking in the shadows of the night, but within the human soul. Modern readers still find that their own nightmares are evoked by Lucy's and Mina's battle against succumbing to the seductive enticements of the soulless vampire.
