There was a sign of shyness about him at this. He stammered a little at first, but his voice became more even as he went on.
“My visit to Mercy Farm.”
Mr. Salton waited eagerly. The old diplomatist simply smiled.
“I suppose you both know that I was much interested yesterday in the Watfords?” There was no denial or fending off the question. Both the old men smiled acquiescence. Adam went on: “I meant you to see it—both of you. You, uncle, because you are my uncle and the nearest of my own kin, and, moreover, you couldn’t have been more kind to me or made me more welcome if you had been my own father.” Mr. Salton said nothing. He simply held out his hand, and the other took it and held it for a few seconds. “And you, sir, because you have shown me something. . . Read More

উপন্যাসটি প্রথম প্রকাশিত হয় ১৯১১ সালে, অর্থাৎ ব্রাম স্টোকারের মারা যাওয়ার ঠিক এক বছর আগে। এটিই তাঁর শেষ লেখা কাহিনি। অথচ পড়তে গিয়ে আপনি খেয়াল করবেন ড্রাকুলার সেই ক্ষুরধার লেখনীর ছিটেফোটার উপস্থিতিও এটাতে নেই। হতে পারে মূল গল্পটি পড়ার সুযোগ হয়নি তাই এমন মনে হচ্ছে। মূল উপন্যাসটি মূলত চল্লিশটি অ

Micsoda cím! A fehér féreg fészke! Hármas alliteráció - Babits biztos beájulna! -, az ember csak meghallja, és kúszik fel a hátán a jeges borzongás.

Muy recomendable.
Tratar de disfrutar de esta novela de Stoker sin conocer las peculiares circunstancias en las que fue escrita puede ser muy complicado. Porque siempre tienes a su famoso monstruo cerca, reflejando una sombra ante la que cualquier criatura siempre palidecerá. Y más en el caso en que nos ocupa, en don
Written one year before Stoker's death and soon after one of his strokes, this one is a weird novel. With a strange set of characters that get involved in hair-rising adventures and afterwords talk about them like nothing out of the ordinary happened. Edgar Caswall develops a maddening obsession for
