Monsters at the Door: Dracula, Frankenstein, Viy, and Other Literary Monsters
14.99 €
The nineteenth century was a time of tremendous change and unstoppable scientific and technological progress, a time when the impossible became possible before our eyes. It was this century that gave birth to the most famous literary monsters: from Mephistopheles and Viy to Frankenstein and Dracula.

What fears of humanity were reflected in these monsters? How were they influenced by the monsters of antiquity and the latest scientific discoveries? How did Russian vampires differ from European vampires? And who is Viy? From the book by literary historian Alexei Vdovin, you will learn how the most terrifying texts of European and Russian classics should really be understood.
