Specificatii
*Includes pictures *Includes historical accounts describing
vampires *Discusses the legends of vampires across various cultures
and the evolution of the folklore *Includes a bibliography for
further reading *Includes a table of contents People have always
been afraid of the dead. Since the dawn of humanity, people have
both cared for those who have deceased yet also tried to keep them
away. There are a myriad of legends and beliefs about the dead
coming back, and one of the more persistent ones is of the vampire.
Everyone has heard of vampires, but few people are truly familiar
with the history and folklore that have made the mythical beings so
popular. Indeed, there are so many legends from so many cultures
that it is difficult to come up with a hard definition, and
folklore is by its very nature unscientific, but most people in the
Western world think of vampires as those who come back from the
grave to suck the blood or life essence from the living. This
common understanding of vampires actually obscures many European
and most non-European traditions of bloodsucking monsters. For
example, in China, Japan, and the Middle East, there are spirits
that will drain the life force of an unwary person, but these
magical beings were never mortal humans. In African and Native
American traditions, there are monsters that do the same, but while
they are supposed to be of this Earth, they too are not human
beings. Furthermore, folklore changes over time, so the vampires
people are familiar with today (and the ones some people claim to
actually meet) bear little resemblance to the vampires of early
modern Europe. Stories change, fiction turns to fact and vice
versa, and beliefs are constantly reinvented. Ideas are adopted,
adapted, and presented as true. All the while, the legend of the
vampire remains. The History and Folklore of Vampires chronicles
how vampires became so popular. Along with pictures and a
bibliography, you will learn about vampires like never before, in
no time at all.
