Canon Classics Literature: Worldview Guide for Dracula (Paperback)

""Nietzsche is infuriatingly difficult to comprehend as he sets to tearing down every scaffold left from the old world. Beyond Good and Evil represents Nietzsche in his maturity, being written later in life. It is also some of his clearest writing since it is intentionally polemical. None of his writing is known particularly for its moderation, but Beyond Good and Evil is written as an assault on half-hearted philosophers who are still playing about with the old world. But he is a particularly infuriating read for those who see the world as made and ruled by God. He is difficult to understand since he seeks to remove everything that makes such a world comprehensible. But to say this is simply to describe our age, and for this reason Nietzsche is valuable. But be warned, he will not be trifled with. Sit with him and listen as he seeks to remove every vestige of God from the world."

"Bram Stoker's 1897 Gothic novel, Dracula, features many of the most powerful tropes in fictional narrative: suspense, love, seduction, heroism, sacrifice, and the burning desire for some form of immortality." -From Grant Horner's guide
