Abstract: Lo scrittore irlandese Bram Stoker è il creatore del romanzo gotico Dracula, pubblicato nel 1897, le cui versioni teatrali e cinematografiche ne hanno fatto un classico. Costretto a letto dalla malattia, le storie di fantasmi che gli raccontava la madre furono le compagne della sua infanzia. Creò un'interpretazione originale della leggenda del vampiro Dracula: pur ispirandosi al folclore e ad altre opere letterarie, conferi al proprio personaggio un fascino irresistibile, fondendo insieme paura della morte, desiderio d'immortalità e amore. Età di lettura: da 11 anni.

Abstract: Le difficoltà economiche dell'infanzia ispirarono a Dickens i suoi romanzi migliori (Oliver Twist, David Copperfield, Tempi difficili), dal grande contenuto di critica sociale. Nel 1836 il suo editore gli offrì la possibilità di pubblicare un'opera a dispense mensili, Il circolo Pickwick, che lo avrebbe reso famoso. In quel periodo scrisse anche Oliver Twist, un romanzo a puntate settimanali in cui illustrò in modo crudo la dura vita dei più poveri, che ebbe un enorme successo. Età di lettura: da 11 anni.
