Mary Shelley’s haunting adventure about ambition and modernity run amok. Obsessed by creating life itself, Victor Frankenstein plunders graveyards for the material to fashion a new being, which he shocks into life by electricity. But his botched creature, rejected by Frankenstein and denied human companionship, sets out to destroy his maker and all that he holds dear. This chilling gothic tale, begun when Mary Shelley was just nineteen years old, would become the world’s most famous work of horror fiction and remains a devastating exploration of the limits of human creativity.

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.

The European Portfolio for Student Teachers of Languages (EPOSTL) is a document intended for students undergoing their initial teacher education which encourages them to reflect on the didactic knowledge and skills necessary to teach languages, helps them to assess their own didactic competences and enables them to monitor their progress and to record their experiences of teaching during the course of their teacher education. It was developed for the European Centre for Modern Languages of the Council of Europe by a team of teacher educators from Armenia, Austria, Norway, Poland and UK, assisted by student teachers and teacher educators from all 33 member states of the ECML. Building on insights from the Common European Framework of Reference and the European Language Portfolio as well as the European Commission-financed project European Profile for Language Teacher Education - A Frame of Reference (Profile), it seeks to help prepare students for their future profession in a variety of teaching contexts. Further, the EPOSTL can facilitate discussion of aims and curricula between teacher educators working within different national or European contexts.
