Sobre IBD

This book begins by outlining the salient acts of Vlad III, prince of Wallachia, 'the Impaler' - alias Dracula and views him in his historical context. From this point of departure the book proceeds with a more general inquiry into the pertinence and relevance of the concept of evil within a broad context that includes a view of the world today.

    The allegory as a literary device is too often dismissed as being artificial and contrived, yet one scholar admits that an allegory arises spontaneously when a writer allows a symbolic traveller make one step towards a symbolic mountain. Therefore the resultant allegory cannot be subject to the writer’s full control and conscious powers of prediction and determination. It has a...

  • Strange Fits of Passion I Too Have Known
    Julian Scutts
    The picture on the front cover may need a word of explanation. Why should the author appear holding a copy of one of his books? I hope this is not an indication of vanity in my case. I plead that the issue at stake here is reflexivity. After a while authors may find themselves reading long forgotten passages they have written and thus become the critics of their own works. Ine...
