The Jewel of Seven Stars

Autor Bram Stoker Editat de Editora Americana
en Limba Engleză Paperback
The Jewel of Seven Stars is a novel by Bram Stoker (most famous for Dracula). It was first published in 1903, with a significantly revised edition in 1912. Abel Trelawney, a reclusive scholar of Ancient Egypt, is left unconscious after being attacked in his own bedroom by an unknown assailant. His daughter Margaret calls the police, a doctor, and her friend and confidant (and our narrator) Malcolm Ross. Margaret, Ross, Dr Winchester, and Sergeant Daw of Scotland Yard find themselves enmeshed in dark and mysterious events, centring on Trelawney's collection of Egyptian artifacts, which include a remarkable ruby (bearing seven markings arranged in the shape of the Plough) taken from the long-lost tomb of the sorcerer-queen Tera. Evidence mounts that, whereas most ancient Egyptian rulers had themselves mummified to secure their rebirth in the afterlife, Queen Tera had a plan to secure her rebirth in this life... How it all turns out depends on which edition you're reading. The original 1903 ending divided readers, and was replaced in the 1912 edition with a more conventionally happy and tidy ending. (Some doubt exists as to whether Stoker wrote the new ending himself, or even had any significant input.) Most later editions follow the 1912 text, though some return to the 1903 ending; the Penguin Classics edition includes both. The novel has inspired several films, including the 1971 Hammer Horror picture Blood from the Mummy's Tomb and the 1980 Charlton Heston vehicle The Awakening. (So far none have used the novel's title.) Adaptations tend to throw out the novel's ambiguity and make Queen Tera an outright villain.

Textul de pe ultima copertă

In the early hours of the morning a young lawyer is called to the home of a beautiful woman he has just met, where her archaeologist father lies in a coma, the victim of a mysterious attack. The injured man is discovered to be dabbling in ritual magic in an attempt to raise an ancient Egyptian queen from the dead. As the hour of his great experiment approaches, a deadly supernatural struggle begins. First published in 1903 as a successor to Dracula, this original version of the novel has never been reprinted before. This edition also includes the alternative ending for the 1912 revised edition.

Notă biografică

Abraham Stolker, conhecido como Bram Stolker, figura entre os mais aclamados autores da literatura de horror. Nascido em Dublin, Irlanda, em 8 de novembro de 1847, formou-se em Matemática, mas não chegou a exercer a profissão. Também foi crítico teatral, uma de suas paixões, meio artístico que o aproximou de Sheridan Le Fanu, por quem seria profundamente influenciado. Mais de 120 anos se passaram desde que o talentoso romancista deu a vida ao personagem que eternizou a figura do vampiro no imaginário popular. Publicado originalmente em 1897, Drácula é a quinta obra de Bram Stolker. O romance epistolar narrado por meio de cartas envolve o leitor em uma atmosfera carregada de suspense e tensão, enquanto o guia rumo às entranhas do universo gótico tão bem representado por Stolker.
