Bram Stoker's biography
Abraham Stoker, better known as Bram, was born in Clontarf, a village next to Dublin, on 8 November 1847. Until the age of seven he was confined to bed, unable to walk, because of a mysterious illness.
After an almost miraculous healing, Stoker led an ordinary life: he attended the Trinity College where he graduated in mathematics. He also distinguished himself for sports activities, like swimming.
He worked as journalist and drama critic for the “Evening Mail”. Soon he became a close friend of the famous actor Henry Irving and became his assistant and personal secretary.
He married Florence Balcombe and they had a son, Noel, in 1878; then they moved to London where Stoker became director of the Lyceum Theatre owned by Irving, writing his novels and short stories in his spare time.
He died on 20 April 1912 in London of a stroke.
