 In fact, as pointed out by Prof. Jenő Farkas in 2010, the first translation of "Dracula" was into Hungarian by the writer and newspaper publisher Jenő Rákosi, who serialized a translation of "Dracula" in the Budapest newspaper "Budapesti Hírlap" (79 parts, starting on 1 January 1898), later that year published in book form.Dalby characterised the Icelandic text as a strongly abridged version of the English original, only notable because a new, extended preface by Bram Stoker had been added.Without further examination, this assessment was adopted by all English-speaking "Dracula" experts, and "Stoker's Icelandic foreword," mentioning the crimes by Jack the Ripper, started playing a major role in academic "Dracula" exegesis.
