About The Castle of the Carpathians
The Castle of the Carpathians was first published in 1892. It is set in the mysterious, and now infamous, region of Transylvania, where there are strange, supernatural events taking place in the eponymous castle which are terrorizing the surrounding villages. The villagers are convinced that this is the work of the devil, and so a visitor to the region, Count Franz de Talek, decides to investigate.
The Castle of the Carpathians has been adapted for cinema on four separate occasions and made into a comic book in 2010. What is more, it is quite possible that it served as the inspiration for Bram Stoker’s Dracula, which came out five years later.
About Jules Verne
Jules Verne was a French novelist, poet and playwright who was born on 8 February 1828. He was supposed to become a lawyer like his father, but he quickly abandoned this idea to become a writer. He met many different explorers and scientists, who perhaps inspired him to write the adventure stories he is now famous for. He was extremely passionate about travel and the technological advances of his time. He is known as the “Father of Science Fiction” and is one of the most translated authors in the world. He died in 1905.
