Synopsis "The Man"
Classics for Your Collection: goo.gl/U80LCr --------- The Man is a romantic novel by Bram Stoker, the author of Dracula, written in 1905. It has also been published under the title The Gates of Life. The Man is a novel from the Victorian era of British history and culture. The Victorian Era was the period during the reign of Queen Victoria, from her coronation on 20 June 1837 until her death on 22 January 1901. The Victorian era is known for its long period of peace, prosperity, and national pride for the British Empire. In The Man, the renowned author of Dracula serves you a rich Gothic romance meal. This tale brings the mystery and intrigue that delights readers of Dracula into the realm of romance, and will disappoint neither Stoker admirers nor hardcore readers of the romantic genre. We meet lovely teenager Stephen (her father wanted a boy...) and Harold, approaching manhood, at the outset. We're to find out about their lives from their births to adulthood. They are beautifully drawn characters, almost too perfect each, physically and in terms of integrity and strength. Stephen is given some male characteristics due to the wishes of her father and her being his only child. Harold is a thoughtful and physically superior fellow and becomes The Man of the title. They come to be raised together as trusted intimates, siblings in all but blood. They make errors which alter both of their lives and badly affect the rather adult-like turn their feelings for one another take. Stoker's descriptive skills that are so vibrant in Dracula show up here too, descriptions of thought processes and feelings in his characters, of setting and mood for his story.

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.
