La versión perdida de Drácula, que Bram Stoker reescribió con el primer traductor de la obra y a la vez editor en Islandia. En 1900 el editor y escritor Valdimar Çsmundsson se propuso traducir, por primera vez en la historia, la que se convertiria en la gran obra de la literatura gotica: Dracula, de Bram Stoker. Sin embargo, Çsmundsson no solo tradujo Dracula sino que, con la ayuda del propio autor, escribio una version distinta de la historia, con nuevos personajes y una trama totalmente reconstruida. Mas corta, mas oscura y mas erotica, esta obra escrita a cuatro manos se titulo Makt Myrkranna (Los poderes de la oscuridad). Makt Myrkranna se publico en Islandia en 1901 y conto con un prefacio de Bram Stoker, pero el texto permanecio perdido hasta que, en 2014, fue descubierto por el investigador Hans Corneel de Roos. Por fin ve la luz Los poderes de la oscuridad, la version de Dracula que reimaginaron Stoker y Çsmundsson y se escondia del mundo en Islandia... hasta ahora. Ampliamente anotada por De Ross, la presente edicion proporciona al lector el fascinante contexto historico, cultural y literario de uno de los clasicos indiscutibles de la literatura universal. C
