Synopsis

"Under the Sunset" by Bram Stoker transports readers to a realm that exists beneath the enchanting yet fleeting light of sunset. This collection of eight tales interweaves fantasy and morality, casting shadows of deeper truths within its magical world. Stoker crafts stories where love and darkness battle, where creatures both fearsome and kind roam, and where the veil between the mundane and the mystical is thinnest. Each narrative, a delicate blend of whimsy and caution, invites readers to contemplate the eternal dance of light and dark within us all.

About Bram Stoker

Bram Stoker was born November 8, 1847, in Dublin, Ireland. His father was a civil servant, and his mother was a charity worker and writer. Stoker studied math at Trinity College in Dublin and graduated in 1867, after which he became a civil servant. At this time, he also worked as a freelance journalist, a drama critic, and editor of the Evening Mail. In 1876, he met Sir Henry Irving, a famous actor. Stoker accepted a job as personal secretary to Irving and went to England in 1878. Before he left Ireland, he published his first book, The Duties of Clerks of Petty Sessions in Ireland. While working for Irving he met an aspiring actress named Florence Balcombe. They married in 1878 and had one son, Noel, who was born in 1879. In England, Stoker also began writing a series of short stories and novels, the first of which was The Snake's Pass. Although best known for Dracula, Stoker wrote eighteen books before he died in 1912.

Definiti fiabe macabre, i racconti che compongono Il paese del tramonto di Bram Stoker anticipano - più o meno sottilmente - atmosfere e personaggi che costelleranno altre sue opere, di ben altro peso e successo.

This book requires intestinal fortitude. As amazing and groundbreaking as Dracula was, Stoker’s collection of maudlin and overly sentimental Christian fairy tales feel forced and trite. Only the tale “when 7 went mad” merits a close read, as it is funny and evocative of Edgar Allen Poe’s shorter wor......more

The most beautiful and gloomy fairy tales. It contains my favorite short story of all times untill now: the Shadow Builder. Can't believe they made a movie with that name and the plot has absolutely nothing to do with the original Bram Stoker story. As the Shadow Builder is some sort of powerless Go......more

Goodreads review by Viji on November 24, 2013

My first read of Bram Stoker after Dracula.. A well-written fantasy is what I felt about this story.. I especially liked the part where the angel of light is asked to go along with the sons of evil, to give light to those who are good at heart and darkness to those who are bad.......more
