Reseña del libro "The Mystery of the Sea: a mystery novel by Bram Stoker, was originally published in 1902. Stoker is best known for his 1897 novel Dracula, but (en Inglés)"

The Mystery of the Sea By Bram StokerThe Mystery of the Sea, a mystery novel by Bram Stoker, was originally published in 1902. Stoker is best known for his 1897 novel Dracula, but The Mystery of the Sea contains many of the same compelling elements. It tells the story of an Englishman living in Aberdeenshire, Scotland, who meets and falls in love with an American heiress. She is involved with the intrigues of the Spanish-American War, and a complex plot involving second sight, kidnapping, and secret codes unfolds over the course of the novel.The Mystery of the Sea contains supernatural elements, but is in many respects a political thriller. Stoker draws from personal experience and incorporates historical strands from the Spanish-American War as well as the sixteenth-century conflict between Spain and Elizabethan England, using these events to explore important themes of his time such as national identity and changing concepts of womanhood. Although The Mystery of the Sea received many favorable reviews when it was published (and many of the criticisms it received could be equally well applied to Dracula), it has been significantly overshadowed in scholarship and criticism by Dracula.Bram Stoker was born on November 8, 1847 in Dublin, Ireland. He was brought up in a Protestant middle-class household, and was a sickly child.However, Stoker eventually grew out of his illnesses and attended Trinity College, where he studied science and mathematics. Stoker became a civil service clerk in Dublin for a short time, but was always interested in literature. He wrote short fiction and edited an Irish newspaper, publishing his first story, "The Crystal Cup", in 1872. He also submitted work to a magazine called the Shamrock, based in Dublin.In 1876, while volunteering as a drama critic for the Dublin Evening Mail, met actor Henry Irving. In 1878, Stoker moved to London to serve as manager for Irving's Lyceum Theatre. Stoker was an adept administrator and introduced a number of new practices into the theatre, including numbering seats and advertising a season or selling tickets for shows in advance. Stoker was quite busy while he worked for Irving, and much of his writing had to be done on holidays and in his spare time.However, Stoker's business often proved to be helpful to his writings. Stoker's position at the Lyceum had a direct influence on his novels, particularly in terms of travel and setting. Company tours between 1883 and 1904 took him to America regularly.

Abraham "Bram" Stoker (Clontarf; 8 de noviembre de 1847-Londres; 20 de abril de 1912) fue un novelista y escritor irlandés, conocido por su novela Drácula.

Sus primeros relatos de terror, como "La Copa de Cristal" (1872), fueron publicados por la London Society, y The Chain of Destiny en la revista Shamrock. En 1876, mientras trabajaba como funcionario, escribió un libro de texto nombrado The Duties of Clerks of Petty Sessions in Ireland (1879), este libro se utilizó como referencia durante mucho tiempo.

Siendo crítico del teatro para el Dublin Evening Mail, cuyo copropietario era el célebre escritor de novela gótica Sheridan Le Fanu, uno de los más importantes de su época por relatos como el de Carmilla, sobre una vampiresa, influyeron mucho a Stoker a la hora de escribir Drácula. La crítica de Stoker hacia la obra fue una gran alabanza a la actuación en Hamlet del actor Henry Irving, quien le contrató para ser su secretario particular y gerente del Lyceum Theatre de Londres.

Mientras trabajaba para Irving, fue crítico literario para el Daily Telegraph y escribió varias novelas como The Snake's Pass (1890) y Dracula (1897) y, tras la muerte de Irving en 1905, La dama del sudario (1909) y La guarida del gusano blanco (1911).

Su esposa fue la administradora de su legado literario, y dio a conocer obras como la que sería la introducción de Drácula, el relato corto El invitado de Drácula.
