VLAD DRACULA: THE DRAGON PRINCE

Book ID/图书代码： 02901206B09379

English Summary/英文概要： Most of the vast audience attracted to the subject of Dracula know him only in his fictional, one-dimensional form: vampire! Yet the truth behind the historical character--voevode, warlord--of 15th C. Romania is at least as equally fascinating as any contrived account of his supernatural persona. Vlad Dracula faithfully follows his life story as hostage, fugitive, prince, and prisoner. His principality of Wallachia was caught between two voracious predators: the kingdom of Hungary and the Ottoman empire. They tried to break Dracula with overwhelming force and terror. But Dracula turned their own tactics against them, and against criminals and factions in his own land, earning the name Tepes-The Impaler-in the process. He was a strange mix of husband, father, soldier, statesman, and berserker. He annihilated 50,000 people--one-tenth of his own population. Cursed by his native Orthodox Christian Church, he indeed evolved into a legend. But even today he is Romania’s Robin Hood.

Chinese Summary/中文概要：
《聖龍之王(德拉庫拉)》原汁原味地描繪了德拉庫拉的一生，再現他作為人質、逃犯、王子和囚犯的人生歷程。他所統治的瓦拉幾亞公國受到匈牙利王國和奧斯曼帝國這兩個強大鄰國的垂涎。他們想用武力和恐嚇迫使德拉庫拉屈服。德拉庫拉以其人之道還治其人之身，挫敗兩大鄰國的圖謀。他還用恐怖手段鎮壓國內的反對勢力。他也由此獲得了“穿刺王”的稱號！

喜歡德拉庫拉的讀者大都只瞭解他被虛構的一面：吸血鬼！其實，德拉庫拉是真實存在的歷史人物。他是十五世紀羅馬尼亞的統治者。如虛構的吸血鬼故事一樣，他的生平故事同樣引人入勝。

他集多種角色於一身：丈夫、父親、戰士、暴君和政治家。在他執政期間，五萬人被他下令屠殺——這相當於瓦拉幾亞總人口的十分之一。直至今日，他仍然是羅馬尼亞極具爭議的傳奇人物。
