In his new book, Bulgarian historian and archeologist Nikolai Ovcharov purports to present the truth about Count Dracula. He argues that the historical Vlad the Impaler was neither a Transylvanian count nor a vampire, although this is exactly what he is in the minds of millions of people around the world. Ovcharov's absorbing narrative introduces us to a statesman, visionary and reformer, a brave and able military leader who fought untiringly against the Ottoman Turkish expansion. Last but not least, Vlad Dracula built upon the medieval Bulgarian political and cultural traditions, and thought, spoke, wrote, and issued edicts in Bulgarian. The Bulgarianness of Dracula is a fact proven by medieval documents, not a figment of patriotic minds, Ovcharov says.
