Book Reviews of Dracula, Prince of Many Faces: His Life and His Times
Book Review: A Comprehensive History of Vlad
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a thorough look at not only the mysterious life of Vlad Dracula, aka Vlad Tepes, aka Vlad the Impaler, but also a comprehensive history of 15th century Eastern Europe and the evolution of the Vampire myth. While not much is known about his "personal life," eye witnesses and oral history have kept accounts of Vlad's tyrannous reign of the Wallachia region of Romania alive through the ages. Meticulously researched, the authors try to grasp the motivation behind his notorious undertakings in the slaughter of tens of thousands of people, not only in defense from the invading Turks, but those of his own people. As allegiances shift, Vlad's reputation darkens and his fate is sealed. Long after his death, the heroic, sadistic prince develops from regional folklore and religious propaganda into the Dracula of Bram Stoker and Bella Lugosi fame that we are familiar with today.
Summary of Dracula, Prince of Many Faces: His Life and His Times
Dracula, Prince of Many Faces reveals the extraordinary life and times of the infamous Vlad Dracula of Romania (1431 - 1476), nicknamed the Impaler. Dreaded by his enemies, emulated by later rulers like Ivan the Terrible, honored by his countrymen even today, Vlad Dracula was surely one of the most intriguing figures to have stalked the corridors of European and Asian capitals in the fifteenth century.Romania Books
