Product code: Dracula, Bram Stoker (First Edition, Romanian Language, order 1990) Cioculescu/Verzea
One of the most important translations of all time, the Romanian language order version of Bram Stoker's Victorian-era gothic horror classic Dracula would be a collectible conversation piece just for the fact that its printed in the native tongue of its fictional title character. But its so much more than that. This book changed the world. Even though it was published originally in the 1800s, the book was banned in Romania, home of Transylvania, where much of the book takes place, until the communist dictatorship was overthrown in 1990. Only then did the country learn that they had been or would forever be associated with a different kind of monster that still reigns over every aspect of a country's daily life. This book is a powerful symbol at the intersection of liberation and oppression, communism and capitalism, the past and the future, fact and fiction, man and monster. Printed on uneven coarse stock by Editura Univers, Bucuresti, translated by Cioculescu and Verzea.
