Η οικογένεια του βρικόλακα - Συνάντηση μετά από τριακόσια χρόνια
"Παιδιά μου, θ' ανέβω στα βουνά με τους γενναίους, να κυνηγήσω αυτό τον άθλιο σκύλο, τον Αλιμπέκ" - έναν Τούρκο ληστή, που, για καιρό, ρήμαζε τον τόπο. "Περιμένετέ με δέκα μέρες, κι αν δε γυρίσω τη δεκάτη, κάντε μου λειτουργιά· θα 'μαι νεκρός. Αν, όμως" πρόσθεσε αυστηρότατα ο γέρος, "τύχει -Θεός φυλάξοι- κι επιστρέψω αργότερα, και για σωσμό δικό σας, να μη μ' αφήσετε να μπω. Σας διατάζω, τότε, να με ξεχάσετε, να ξεχάσετε πως ήμουν πατέρας σας και μ' έναν πάσσαλο να με παλουκώσετε, ό,τι κι αν λέω, ό,τι κι αν κάνω, γιατί δε θα 'μαι παρά ένας καταραμένος, ένας βρικόλακας που 'ρθε να σας ρουφήξει το αίμα".
Η Οικογένεια του βρικόλακα θεωρείται το σπουδαιότερο και γνωστότερο διήγημα φαντασίας του Αλεξέι Κωνσταντίνοβιτς Τολστόι κι αποτελεί έναν από τους θεμέλιους λίθους της νεότερης περί βρικολάκων μυθολογίας, ανήκοντας - μαζί με το "ταίρι" του, τη Συνάντηση μετά από τριακόσια χρόνια - στη σημαντική παράδοση της γοτθικής λογοτεχνίας.

Count Aleksey Konstantinovich Tolstoy, often referred to as A. K. Tolstoy (Russian: Алексей Константинович Толстой) (September 5, 1817 � October 10, 1875), was a Russian poet, novelist and playwright, considered to be the most important nineteenth-century Russian historical dramatist. He also gained fame for his satirical works, published under his own name (History of the Russian State from Gostomysl to Timashev, The Dream of Councillor Popov) and under the collaborational pen name of Kozma Prutkov.
A. K. Tolstoy was born in Saint Petersburg to the famed family of Tolstoy. His father, Count Konstantin Petrovich Tolstoy (1780�1870), a son of the army general, was a Russian state assignation bank councilor. His mother, Anna Alekseyevna Perovskaya (1796�1857), was an illegitimate daughter of Count Aleksey Kirillovich Razumovsky (1784�1822), an heir of the legendary Ukrainian hetman Aleksey Razumovsky. A. K. Tolstoy's uncle (on his father's side) was Fyodor Tolstoy (1783�1873). His uncle on his mother's side was Aleksey Perovsky (1787�1836), an author known under the pen name of Antony Pogorelsky. Aleksey Konstantinovich was a second cousin of Leo Tolstoy; Count Pyotr Andreyevich Tolstoy was their common great-grandfather.
Tolstoy represented the later period of Romanticism in Russian literature; art for him was a mystic link between the human world and the higher spheres where "eternal ideas dwell." Along with Fet, his artistic and spiritual ally, he saw Art as a kind of higher science, man's only instrument for a true and comprehensive understanding of the world. Romantic tendencies were best realised in Tolstoy's poetry and in some of his dramas, notably Don Juan where the hero is on a quest for a romantic ideal, looking everywhere for love "that helps one penetrate into the wonderful universal laws, our world's hidden beginnings," as he put it."Art can only be a 'means' - all of the 'ends'... it contains in itself," Tolstoy wrote in 1870, in the course of long dispute with those whom he labeled "utilitarianists in literature". Such views automatically made him a "conservative" in the eyes of the revolutionary democrats who formed a large majority in the Russian literary circles of the 1850s and 1860s. Unlike Fet, though, Tolstoy insisted on the artist's total independence from ideology and politics, and felt himself totally free to criticize and mock authorities, a trait that snubbed many people in high places.

Το πρώτο, πιο γνωστό και καλύτερο από τα δύο διηγήματα του βιβλίου έχει να κάνει με την επίσκεψη του ευγενούς πρωταγωνιστή σε μία σέρβικη αγροικία όπου ο παππούς της οικογένειας μετατρέπεται σε βρυκόλακα. Έμπνευση για το ένα από τα τρία μέρη του Black Sabbath του Bava, η ιστορία είναι ιδιαιτέρως ατμοσφαιρική, με πάτημα στο σλαβικό φολκλόρ. Το δεύτερο διήγημα, που έχει να κάνει με ένα στοιχειωμένο δάσος και κάστρο στη Γαλλία, μοιράζεται δύο βασικούς χαρακτήρες με την πρώτη, αλλά είναι σαφώς πιο δυτικό σε θεματική και αύρα. Ιδιαίτερη μνεία αξίζει στη μετάφραση του Σταμάτη Ζώχιου, όπως και στο ιδιαιτέρως κατατοπιστικό επιμετρό του.

A classic story of vampires. It contains 2 books in 1. The first story and the second after 300 years. Its a small book and the perfect occasion to read it, would be in front of a fireplace. Its not something very exciting, but one of the classic horror books.

Δύο ενδιαφέρουσες και πρωτόλειες ιστορίες τρόμου με βαμπίρ, αλλά εγώ προτιμώ την κινηματογραφική μεταφορά του Μάριο Μπάβα με τον Μπόρις Κάρλοφ!
"Black Sabbath"!
