The language between characters, depicting their regard for one another builds a deep concern in the sensitive reader. The metaphors and analogies in which the speakers engage lend a beautiful glimpse of a pinnacle in human conversation in Victorian times. The bond between the characters, and the opportunity to bring smoldering human passions to the fore, afforded by the magical plot, is conveyed fully through the epistles and memoirs of the characters themselves. It's gone near the top of my favorite books, without so much as a beloved, insightful instructor in sight, rewarding faith in one's own intelligence and painting a countryside world in transporting descriptions.Ceasehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16852602817305513997noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4903010875153770024.post-68004793366292235572011-11-05T04:40:22.099-07:002011-11-05T04:40:22.099-07:00So imagine, Professor Challenger: I read Dracula a...So imagine, Professor Challenger: I read Dracula and The Lost World, back to back.

Stoker's prose is beautiful and so descriptive in such a way that I still have never seen anything on film able to evoke the imagery as he presented it. People who only know Dracula from films and comics are missing out.Keith Howellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18446608207417847031noreply@blogger.com
