Description
Vlad and the Vampire: The Double Life of Dracula
Romania is often associated with the legend of Dracula, but the reality is more complex. The country's attitude towards its own vampire icon is schizophrenic, with some viewing him as a national hero and others fearing the loss of its history.
The stories about Vlad III Dracula, a 15th-century warlord prince, predate Bram Stoker's famous novel. This book explores the contradictions surrounding Dracula's legacy and the impact of Western influence on Romanian identity.
