London lawyer Jonathan Harker travels to Transylvania at the request of Count Dracula, who has purchased a house in London and wishes to finalize the transaction through his solicitor. During his journey, Harker encounters strange occurrences, including a local woman who gives him a rosary for protection. Upon arriving in Bistritz, he takes a coach and is picked up by a driver at Borgo Pass, who takes him to the Count's residence. The initial days are calm, but Harker is instructed not to enter certain rooms, a request he promises to honor. He soon notices that the Count has no reflection and exhibits a ravenous expression at the sight of blood when Harker accidentally cuts himself while shaving. The Count's unsettling appearance, with long white teeth and strikingly red lips, fills Harker with dread, leading him to fear for his life. The Count compels him to send seemingly innocuous letters to his fiancée and employer, while offering Harker a chance to escape, though he is too terrified to pass by the wolves under the Count's control.

One of the most beloved adventure stories of all time, "Treasure Island" is a swashbuckling tale of the search for hidden treasure. When an old sea captain named Billy Bones dies at the Admiral Benbow Inn on the west coast of England during the mid-1700s, Jim Hawkins, the innkeeper's son, and his mother discover a treasure map among his belongings. Jim shows the map to local acquaintances, Dr. Livesey and Squire Trelawney, and together they plan an expedition to find the treasure. They set sail aboard the "Hispaniola," led by Captain Smollett, in search of Treasure Island. Among the crew are former pirates, who are led to mutiny by "Long John" Silver, a one-legged tavern-keeper hired as the ship's cook. Written in the late 19th century, Robert Louis Stevenson's "Treasure Island" dramatically depicts maritime life, rich with its perils, in an adventure that investigates the nature of good and evil itself.
