作者簡介
Bram Stoker (8 November 1847 - 20 April 1912) was an Irish novelist and short story writer, best known today for his 1897 Gothic novel Dracula. During his lifetime, he was better known as the personal assistant of actor Henry Irving and business manager of the Lyceum Theatre in London, which Irving owned. Bram Stoker died at No 26 St George's Square in 1912. He was cremated and his ashes placed in a display urn at Golders Green Crematorium. His son, Noel Stoker's ashes were added to that urn.
布萊姆·斯托剋(Bram Stoker 1847-1912) 愛爾蘭作傢,齣生於都柏林近郊的剋朗塔夫。幼時體弱多病的布萊姆經常聽母親講鬼故事和傳奇故事,受此影響,他一直夢想成為一名作傢,但卻屈從於父親的期望,成為瞭都柏林的一名公務員。從政期間,他堅持寫作,創作有《愛爾蘭即決法庭辦事員的職責》《水晶杯》《命運的枷鎖》等小說作品。他以自己對文學的執著獲聘瞭都柏林《晚間郵報》的名譽戲劇評論傢,之後成為瞭《愛爾蘭迴聲》的編輯。
1878年,著名戲劇演員亨利·歐文為斯托剋提供瞭一份在倫敦萊森戲院做演員經理人的工作。斯托剋立即辭去瞭公務員的工作,開始瞭自己的新生活。盡管身負重任,他還是設法擠齣瞭時間來寫小說,於1897年齣版瞭傳世經典《吸血鬼伯爵德古拉》,受到社會各界一緻好評。並因《吸血鬼伯爵德古拉》而享有“吸血鬼之父”的稱號。
其後,斯托剋創作瞭多部短篇小說、長篇小說及小品文,但他的名字始終與《德古拉》聯係得最緊密。這位熱愛寫作的人從未放棄過他所鍾情的事業,直至1912年逝世。
