Dracula is a novel by Bram Stoker. It was published in 1897. This is an epistolary novel. The novel deals with letters, diary entries, and newspaper articles. There is no single central character in the book.

But the story begins with lawyer Jonathan Harker on a business trip to the Transylvanian elite, Count Dracula's castle. Harker escapes from the castle after discovering a vampire in the Dracula novel.

He moved to Whitbeat, a coastal town in England. A small group led by Abraham van Helsing hunts Dracula and kills him in the end. Most of the novel's plots were written in the 1890s.

Stoker made a 100-page note for the novel. He has extensively contributed to the novel from Transylvanian folklore and history.

But many scholars believe that Dracula's character was inspired by the Wallachian prince Vlad the Impaler or Countess Elizabeth Battery. However, there are many differences of opinion.

After the book was published, Dracula had a positive effect on critics, and it was well-received. But those who take the novel negatively consider the book to be too scary.

It is part of Gothic fiction. In addition, modern literary scholars have explored the historical context of the novel. The book explores gender roles, sexuality, and race relations.

Dracula is one of the most famous books in English literature. Many of the characters in the novel have been introduced to archeological culture, and Abraham van Helsing has been described as a successful vampire hunter.

The novel has gained considerable popularity and has been awarded more than 30 films. The characters in the book have virtually made their presence known in the media.

The Bell Jar Book Review

The only novel by American author and poet Sylvia Plath is "Bell Jar". Although it is the only novel, it is very popular. It was published in 1963 under the pseudonym "Victoria Lucas".

The novel is semi-autobiographical. The book is often regarded as Roman and Clef. The book discusses the central character's mental disorder, which parallels the author's experience with Plath's disorder. Plath died of suicide after its first publication in the United Kingdom.

The novel was first published in 1967 under the name Plath. But it was not until 1971 that the will of Plath and her husband was published in the United States. But the novel has been translated into about 12 languages.

The book tells the story of a 19-year-old undergraduate student in a Boston suburb named Esther Greenwood, who received a summer internship at Fiction Ladies Day Magazine in New York City.

She doesn’t feel overwhelmed or excited by fashion and the big city lifestyle. As a result, his colleagues like him. She strives to make herself feel something different, eliminating anxiety and confusion.

Ether's other intern praised Doreen's funny jokes and adventure. However, he also identified Betsy as a religious fanatic, a simple young woman of the old style.

Philomena Guinea has a benevolent Easter, a successful female fiction writer who provides scholarships through which Easter - from a working-class family - attends her college. Esther describes in detail in the book some of the serious things that happened during her internship.

The magazine starts with a luncheon hosted by the staff, which greatly stimulates the minds of the interns. She reminds me of her ex-boyfriend, with whom she has had many serious dates.

She thinks of him as a betrothed. Esther returns to her former home in Massachusetts, where her widowed mother lives.

He decided to spend the summer potentially writing novels. But he felt that he lacked enough experience in his life writing.

I love those books. Those are very popular and authentic. So I would highly recommend you to read those books. I hope, you will love those books very much. Happy reading.
