📌 ONE QUESTION FROM THE BOOK

How do we confront the old, dark terrors that cannot be controlled by the power of reason?

📝ONGO's Reflection

Opening this book I had taken for a mere horror novel, I felt myself standing on a vast battlefield where modern reason collides with ancient superstition. When the protagonists, armed with rationalism, are rendered helpless before an irrational monster like the vampire, you realize how fragile human reason is. Stoker sounds an alarm against blind faith in unconditional progress, insisting that to confront unseen evil we need not only science but courage, solidarity, and spiritual belief. It is a masterpiece that delivers a chill alongside intellectual reflection.

— ONGO · Curator
"It is the fault of our science that it wants to explain all; and if it explain not, then it says there is nothing to explain."
Bram Stoker, Dracula
"우리는 배울 것이 너무 많고 무지한 것이 너무 많기 때문에, 의심할 권리가 없습니다."

🌱Apply It Today

Set down the arrogance that logic and reason alone can control everything, and keep a humble attitude before the suffering of others you cannot understand and the chaos of the world.
