あらすじ
Sink your teeth into Dracula, a novel that refuses to stay buried, with Renaissance Revival’s annotated edition. From candlelit castles to haunted houses, Bram Stoker’s masterpiece blends horror, adventure, and faith in a relentless narrative that unsettles the reader and lingers long after the final page. Told through journals, letters, and newspaper clippings, Dracula begins when Jonathan Harker travels to Transylvania to meet the mysterious Count Dracula, only to discover too late the ancient evil surrounding him. When the story shifts to England and the much-adored Lucy Westenra becomes weak and pale, the novel becomes truly unputdownable. Annotated by Erica Abbett, an acclaimed author and former English teacher, this edition was crafted specifically for students. By placing definitions and explanations at the bottom of each page, she illuminates the text without interrupting the story’s momentum or smothering it in academic jargon. The layout is intentional and thoughtfully designed, allowing readers to move confidently through the classics. A book-specific glossary of terms appears at the back for easy reference. Already gripping and famously hard to put down, Dracula needs no help creating suspense. This edition simply ensures that nothing stands between students and the story. This special annotated edition includes: -Over 1,000 expertly crafted notes — At the bottom of each page, you'll find the definitions of challenging words, explanations of historical and literary references, and much more. -Glossary of terms — A complete glossary of terms ensures that you'll never need to break your concentration to Google an unfamiliar word or phrase. -Annotations by an author and teacher - Erica Abbett is the author of two young adult novels and a former teacher of both English and history. Her conversational yet informative tone is the perfect companion to the classics. The Renaissance Revival Annotated Edition of Dracula removes every barrier between students and the story, allowing Stoker’s thrilling novel to shine.
