Interesting Stories Surrounding Some of the Classics
There’s no shortage of interesting and intriguing stories from the literary world, here are three interesting stories about some of our best loved books and authors.
Could you point it out on a map? Bram Stoker’s Dracula set the standard when it comes to the interpretation of the modern vampire. Although partially set in Transylvania, a mountainous region in central Romania, Stoker, an Irish author, had never in fact visited Romania or any other part of Eastern Europe.
An interesting interpretation. Written by French novelist Gabrielle-Suzanne Barbot de Villeneuve, the original version of Beauty and the Beast was published 1740 in La Jeune Américaine et les contes marins (The Young American and Marine Tales). While Disney may have turned it into a magical tale of finding beauty and true love in the most unexpected of places, it was in fact written in order to encourage girls to accept arranged marriages, or as children’s literature academic Maria Tatar puts it, to accept “an alliance that required effacing their own desires and submitting to the will of a monster.”
Dahl, Roald Dahl. Before his career as the author of such beloved children’s books as Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and James and the Giant Peach, Roald Dahl served as a spy for the British Security Coordination during World War II. Somewhat of a James Bond-esque agent, Dahl gathered intelligence for the British while using his charm to seduce society ladies, possibly for his own leisure.
