Бульварные газеты меньше по размеру, в них больше иллюстраций, часто цветных, и
меньше обстоятельных статей, зачастую о менее значимых событиях или о личной
жизни знаменитостей. Поэтому считается, что в них содержится недостаточно
серьезной информации. Некоторые очень сильно не доверяют бульварным газетам
и называют их желтой прессой. Но «Сан», например, которая является бульварной
газетой – самая продаваемая газета в Британии.

Vampires – fact or fiction?
Everybody has heard stories about vampires. The word vampire is of
Slavic origin, as the legend originated centuries ago in south-eastern
Europe, in Transylvania and Serbia. In the Middle Ages, there were
many folk legends about vampires, but places like Transylvania and
Serbia seemed like the end of the world to the people of Western
Europe at that time. Since the inhabitants of Germany, France and
England did not know much about these distant lands, they listened
with fear and amazement to the strange tales told by merchants and
travellers.
With time, literature started to play an important role in popularising
vampires. Many romantic authors in the early nineteenth century
wrote novels about foggy mountains, terrifying creatures, distant
castles and their mysterious inhabitants. In 1897, Bram Stoker
wrote a book about Dracula, the most famous vampire of all time.
He based his story on the life of a fifteenth-century Valachian ruler,
Vlad IV Dracula, who was known for exceptional cruelty and criminal
actions. Stoker’s tale was set in Transylvania, in Count Dracula’s
castle, and in nineteenth-century London. However, Dracula was not
a historical novel. It was a romance, a story about an unhappy
vampire who fell in love with Mina, a beautiful girl who reminded Dracula of the wife he had lost years
ago.
Later, vampires became part of mass culture. In the twentieth century, Stoker’s book was the source of
inspiration for film makers who started to make new versions of the original story. One of the most
successful movies about Dracula came out in 1992. This film, by Francis Ford Coppola with Gary Oldman
and Winona Ryder, became a box office hit – it shows that every generation wants to discover vampires
for themselves.
Task 1. Read the text about vampires in literature and decide whether the statements below are true or
false.
1. Merchants and travellers used to tell stories about vampires to inhabitants of Serbia and
T/F
Transylvania.
2. The nineteenth-century novels about strange people and places made vampires very
T/F
popular.
3. Bram Stoker based his books on the life of a real person.
