The Historian
Elizabeth Kostova
For centuries, the story
of Dracula has captured the imagination of readers and storytellers
alike. Kostova's breathtaking first novel, ten years in the writing, is
an accomplished retelling of this ancient tale. "The story that follows
is one I never intended to commit to paper.. As an historian, I have
learned that, in fact, not everyone who reaches back into history can
survive it." With these words, a nameless narrator unfolds a story that
began 30 years earlier.
Late one night in 1972, as a 16-year-old
girl, she discovers a mysterious book and a sheaf of letters in her
father's library -- a discovery that will have dreadful and far-reaching
consequences, and will send her on a journey of mind-boggling danger.
While seeking clues to the secrets of her father's past and her mother's
puzzling disappearance, she follows a trail from London to Istanbul to
Budapest and beyond, and learns that the letters in her possession
provide a link to one of the world's darkest and most intoxicating
figures. Generation after generation, the legend of Dracula has enticed
and eluded both historians and opportunists alike. Now a young girl
undertakes the same search that ended in the death and defilement of so
many others -- in an attempt to save her father from an unspeakable
fate.
