Bram Stoker

Mysterious and tormented: that's what we know about Bram Stoker, the creator of Dracula. And, indeed, that is how he must have been to imagine such a bloodthirsty creature. 104 years later, the autor is perhaps not so well remembered but Dracula is certainly still as famous as ever. It's a case of a character that has "eliminated" its author!

Tormented: Tormentat
indeed: efectivament
Bloodthirsty: El mès sanguinari

Write an email


Hi
My name’s Jordi Brunsó and I live in South London. I like the area where I live, so I want to improve it.

In my opinion there isn’t anywhere for young people to go. As a result young people spend all their time hanging around the street and there’re sometimes problems with vandalism and graffiti.

I think the council should do something about this. I’m sure they can find some place for a  youth café.
