Hilarious. There is an odd sense of humour weaved into Florescu's writing. Morbid and educated. It goes not only into the depth of the life of Vlad Ţepeş, but also into the background of his ancestor's wars and fights. This is, of course, key to studying history. Not only that, but Florescu gives us not only a Romanian view but also Hungarian, German and Turkish views of the man. This is a great book for enjoyement and studying purposes. Unlike most non-fiction, this a a book I would read over and over. (

With the phenomenal success of Elizabeth Kostovas critically acclaimed, #1 New York Times bestseller, The Historian, there is a renewed interest in the true story of Dracula. Originally published in 1990, Dracula, Prince of Many Faces still stands as the definitive biography of Vlad Dracula of Romania. Dracula, Prince of Many Faces reveals the extraordinary life and times of the infamous Vlad Dracula of Romania (1431-1476), nicknamed the Impaler. Dreaded by his enemies, emulated by later rulers like Ivan the Terrible, honored by his countrymen even today, Vlad Dracula was surely one of the most intriguing figures to have stalked the corridors of European and Asian capitals in the fifteenth century. In this definitive biography covering Vlad Draculas life and subsequent legend, readers will discover that life can truly be more terrifying than fiction.
