This engrossing book tells the story of the Florescu family, from
its feudal blood ties, to the notorious 15th century figure Vlad
Tepes (Count Dracula), right up to present day, touching on such
diverse personalities as the Kennedys, Bill Clinton, and Michael
Jackson. In the tradition of Alex Haley's Roots, Dracula's
Bloodline relates a multi-generational saga through the prism of
one family's narrative, from medieval Eastern Europe to the
post-Communist era. The book provides an inside look at Romania's
bloody and turbulent history-a mostly untold narrative that
embraces the cruel Ottoman invasions, vying boyars seeking to
change the political order at home, and the toppling of the
Ceausescu regime. The story of each century is told through the
eyes of one Florescu (or more) who had a unique perch from which to
view his or her contemporary society. Florescu and Cazacu drew on
research that had mostly been kept in family hands. To track the
Florescu footprint down through the centuries since the 1400s, they
used many sources: the Brasov archives in Transylvania, select
letters, unpublished diaries, and extensive family documents that
have been scattered from Europe to the United States. This fully
indexed book offers many photographs from family archives, as well
as a glossary of terms and titles, and a full genealogy showing the
Florescu's family links to Vlad Tepes.
