Count Dracula Goes to the Movies
First published in 1897, Bram Stoker's Dracula has never been out of print. Yet most people are familiar with the title character from the movies. Count Dracula is one of the most-filmed literary characters in history--but has he (or Stoker's novel) ever been filmed accurately? In its third edition, this study focuses on 18 adaptations of Dracula from 1922 to 2012, comparing them to the novel and to each other. Fidelity to the novel does not always guarantee a good movie, while some of the better films are among the more freely adapted. The Universal and Hammer sequels are searched for traces of Stoker, along with several other films that borrow from the novel. The author concludes with a brief look at four latter-day projects that are best dismissed or viewed for ironic laughs.
A German Heritage Remembered
Johann Ludwig was born ca. 1770 in the district of Koschmin, province Posen, Prussia, Germany. He was the grandfather and earliest known ancestor of Johann Andreas (Andres or Andrew) Ludwig. Andreas was born 1856 in Wielowies, Kreis Koschmin, province Posen, Prussia, Germany, to Friedrich and Christiane Ludwig. Andreas married Charlotte Reich, the daughter of Christian Reich, ca. 1858. They had 13 children. In 1892 Andreas, his wife and 6 of their children immigrated to Galveston, Texas. Five of their other children later immigrated with their families. Two of their children are believed to have died in Germany. Andreas died in 1912 in Washington County, Texas, and his wife Charlotte died in 1917. Descendants live in Texas, Missouri, Colorado, Oregon, and elsewhere.
Wenn wir tanzen
Manchmal braucht es einen Neuanfang, um sich selbst zu finden: Seit dem Verlust ihrer Eltern kämpft Mila Torres mit der Frage, wo ihr Platz im Leben ist. In ihrem letzten Jahr an der Highschool steht sie nicht nur vor den Herausforderungen der Zukunft, sondern auch vor einem Wettbewerb, der sie über sich hinauswachsen lässt – und ausgerechnet gegen Audrey Lavoie, die ehrgeizigste Schülerin der Schule. Während Mila sich alten Ängsten stellt und neue Unsicherheiten überwindet, findet sie in ihren besten Freunden Frieda, Josh und Noah einen Halt, der über bloße Freundschaft hinausgeht – sie sind ihre Familie. Doch der zehnte Jahrestag des tragischen Unfalls ihrer Eltern rückt näher und mit ihm die Erinnerungen, die sie nicht loslassen. Zwischen Träumen von der Zukunft und dem Echo der Vergangenheit entdeckt Mila, dass Liebe, Freundschaft und Hoffnung die Kraft haben, selbst die tiefsten Wunden zu heilen. "Wenn wir tanzen" ist eine gefühlvolle Coming-of-Age-Geschichte über Verlust, Neuanfänge und die unsichtbaren Fäden, die uns verbinden.
