Le Chateau des Carpathes
Description
The Carpathian Castle (French: Le Château des Carpathes) is a novel byJules Verne first published in 1893. It is possible that Bram Stoker took inspiration from this for his 1897 novel Dracula. In the village of Werst in the Carpathian mountains of Transylvania (then part of Austria-Hungary), some mysterious things are occurring and the villagers believe that Chort (the devil) occupies the castle. A visitor to the region, Count Franz de Télek, is intrigued by the stories and decides to go to the castle and investigate. He finds that the owner of the castle is Baron Rodolphe de Gortz, with whom he is acquainted; years earlier, they were rivals for the affections of the celebrated Italian prima donna La Stilla.
