3.0 out of 5 stars Somewhat hard going. For history buffs only, 14 Sep 2004

By	N. D. Maidment "butchmaidment" - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Dracula: His Life and Times (Paperback)

Casual fans of the legendary Bram Stoker villain beware - there will likely be very little to appeal to you.
What we instead have here is a rather dry history of the 'real Dracula' ie the Romanian prince Vlad the Impaler, and his often gruesome history in the 1400s.
For those looking beyond the blood sucker in the black cape there is much here of interest. Dracula's life was an interesting and, of course, bloody one. Considered, in differing circles, to be a champion of the Christian world, or a devil in human form, the most interesting sections consist of the cruel and unusual punishments meted out by Dracula, sometimes for next to no reason.
Tales are related of how he nailed skull caps to the heads of visiting Italians who did not doff their headwear in his presence, the mutilation of unchaste women and the fascinating tale of how he allowed a monk to condemn him to damnation before personally impaling him.
It was an unbelievable world back then and this sheds valuable light on one of history's darkest characters without ever being particularly enjoyable reading.
What is most interesting is the reverie in which Dracula is still held in back in his homeland. Here he is considered a hero who saved the nation from Muslim enslavement in ages past. In short, his real history is a million miles from that which Stoker created, although there is a fascinating chapter which points out the accuracies in Stoker's novel.
For those seeking the true Dracula, this is a decent read at a good price, but it will not appeal to the casual vampire fan.

4.0 out of 5 stars The historical Dracula, 2 Mar 2001

By	rene@centroweb.net (Lajas, PR, USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Dracula: His Life and Times (Paperback)

Florescu is a historian descended from one of Dracula's aristocratic victims. He has done a great deal of research on the subject and has produced the most readable of Vlad III's biographies. The book includes translations of several contemporary documents and an extensive bibliography. I would recommend it to anyone interested in history, literature (Bram Stoker, Dracula), movies (Nosferatu) and folklore.

3.0 out of 5 stars A decent attempt, but there are better, 24 Oct 2002

By	J. Kelly - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Dracula: His Life and Times (Paperback)

Florescu and McNally have done a decent job of telling the sotry of Vlad Tepes, or Vlad Dracula, in this book. Unfortunately, in order to get at it, you have to wade through some poor writing. In addition to poor prose, the authors seem content with providing only a storyline. They do not delve too deeply into context, which is essential to gaining a good understanding of why Vlad III Dracula rose to and fell from power so many times.

In my research, there were better accounts of Vlad's life. The best, however, is almost �30, so this is a good start for the beginner, but definitely not the end.
