About this deal

Bram Stoker (1847–1912) was born in Dublin and graduated from Trinity College with BA and MA degrees.

After working as a theatre critic, he escaped the monotony of a career in the Irish Civil Service by accepting the job of manager of the Lyceum Theatre in London, which he ran for 27 years. The first great English detective novel, Wilkie Collins’ The Moonstone is presented in a Folio Society limited edition of 750 numbered copies. Like the Count, Dracula is deathless and ever changing, reinvigorating the genre of horror literature and inspiring multiple film adaptations.You can change your choices at any time by visiting Cookie preferences, as described in the Cookie notice. There are slathering wolves, and sleeping bats interwoven through sinister boughs of conifer for Transylvania; high-masted ships and the ruins of the abbey for Whitby; frail fragments of spiders’ webs, complete with spiders, for Purfleet; tall, slender townhouses for London, and threatening conifers, their malevolent roots twining round a steam launch, for the desperate race towards Dracula’s castle. Handpicked for her ethereal interpretations of the darker fairy tales as the perfect artist to illustrate Dracula, Angela Barrett has created remarkable work which is interwoven through this lavishly illustrated edition.

From the carmine leather binding, beautifully blocked with a design by Angela Barrett featuring howling wolves, a forbidding castle, bats, garlic and a crucifix, to the red laid endpapers which perfectly set off the parchment-like limitation label, printed in red, numbered by hand and signed by the artist, every aspect has been carefully considered. com, the Sell on Etsy app, and the Etsy app, as well as the electricity that powers Etsy’s global offices and employees working remotely from home in the US. This collector's edition of Bram Stoker's 'Dracula' is illustrated with artwork that Edward Gorey created for his stage designs for the novel's Broadway stage adaptation. The nineteenth is my favourite century and, as with Stoker, ‘London is my dream’, but also forests and snow and the dark corners. Folio commissioned Hokyoung Kim for the artwork, while the late author’s wife, Wendy Benchley, provides a fascinating new introduction.He joined The Irish Press as a sub-editor in 1969 and continued to work in journalism for over 30 years. She has illustrated a number of picture books and children’s novels and is particularly well known for her work on fairy tales. Cette édition reprend donc une partie des remarquables dessins d'Edward Gorey : chauve-souris voletant sur la tranche (très réussie) et quelques autres dans le texte.

Exploring themes of sexuality, religion, technology and good versus evil, and told through journal entries, letters and telegrams, its cultural and literary significance is undisputed. To mark Folio’s 75th anniversary, Michael Ende’s The Neverending Story is published as a magical new edition, beautifully illustrated by award-winning artist Marie-Alice Harel and bursting with exquisite design details. The illustrations accentuate the sense of foreboding and despair in Stoker’s narrative, while the metallic-blocked binding and blood-red marbling on the slipcase complete this sumptuous new edition of the classic 19th-century horror. Barrett has taught illustration at Cambridge College of Technology and drawing at Chelsea College of Arts. La reliure est en velours rouge pour les plats et en noir pour le dos : c'est un très très beau livre.Bram wrote numerous articles, short stories and poetry for newspapers and magazines, he had a total of eleven novels and two collections of short stories published in his lifetime, but he would only become known for one of them – Dracula. He guest lectures for both academic and social audiences across Britain and around the world and frequently appears as guest expert on factual television and radio programmes. Then there are the nine different black-and-white tailpieces, some like the bat and the crucifix are repeated and others, such as the terrified horses surrounded by baying wolves that ends the first chapter, are specific to a particular scene.
