Edition 2025
In 2012, Dutch researcher Hans de Roos discovered, at the Rosenbach Museum in Philadelphia, Bram Stoker’s drafts of the novel Dracula, which mentioned the real coordinates of the fictional castle in Romania. For seven years, the author had carried out meticulous research to write the book, partly in the renowned Irish library of Trinity College in Dublin.
After learning about the newly discovered documents, Dacre Stoker, the great-great-grandson of the Irish writer, embarks, like the central character of the book, on a journey in the footsteps of Dracula. Romania is his final destination, where, together with a team of Romanians, he will climb the Călimani Mountains to find the location of the fictional castle of the count.
Together with Corneliu Țepeluș, Dacre Stoker actually discovered the place where Dacre's great-great-grandfather imagined the action of the novel that would conquer fans of the genre and set the standards of the classic vampire story.
