| Dracula |
| Bram Stoker (1847 - 1912) |
Although Stoker did not invent the vampire, the novel's influence on the popularity of vampires has been singularly responsible for scores of theatrical and film interpretations throughout the 20th and 21st centuries. Three of the most famous are Nosferatu (1922), Dracula (1931), and Francis Ford Coppola's Bram Stoker's Dracula (1992). |

| Madame Bovary |
| Gustave Flaubert (1821 - 1880) |
A seminal work of Realism, and one of the most influential novels ever written.
"What is remarkable in Madame Bovary is that its mediocre beings, with their earthbound ambitions and pedestrian problems, impress us, by virtue of the structure and the writing that create them, as beings who are out of the ordinary within their ordinary manner of being." - Mario Vargas Llosa, in The Perpetual Orgy
The novel focuses on a doctor's wife, Emma Bovary, as she spirals out of control trying to escape the banalities and emptiness of provincial life.
