The story of the prototype of the main character of Bram Stoker's novel "Dracula". Feared by his enemies, served as an example for many rulers, including Ivan the Terrible, and revered by his compatriots to this day, Vlad Tepes was undoubtedly one of the most intriguing figures in medieval history.
When the co-authors of this book first read Bram Stoker's novel "Dracula", they doubted that the plot of the bloodthirsty vampire was just a tribute to the traditions of the Gothic horror novel. Studying the life story of the real Dracula, they confirmed their guesses: contemporaries and historians called the real Vlad Tepes, the prototype of the famous vampire count, both a bloodsucker and the most interesting person in history. His complex, contradictory character was a product of his time, when feudalism and the power of the Church had not yet been completely eradicated, and the value of human life was negligible.
After reading this fascinating historical study, you will agree that the fictional vampire count looks very pale in comparison to the real Dracula!
