When I use this example from here, I can simply include the given figure.eps with the documentclass \documentclass[10pt]{article}

The provided *.eps file is displayed properly. As soon as I change the document class to \documentclass[11pt,a4paper,draft]{book}

(remove the \abstract section, since available in articles only) I get this screen and the picture is not displayed in my *.pdf enter image description here

Why is the *.eps not displayed?

    it is because of the draft option. Using this option makes the compiling to be shorter. A reason for this quicker compilation is that pictures are not displayed. Instead, a blank frame (having same dimensions) with their name is printed. – ebosi Aug 12 '16 at 20:45

It is unrelated to the change of class, you have added draft, the main effect of which is to stop the loading of images.

When you load a class, you can pass global options to it as following: \documentclass[<global-options>]{<class-name>}. These options impact then the whole document, e.g., paper size (a4paper), main font size (10pt).

One of them is the draft option. It is used when you want to compile a draft version of your document. In exchange of a shorter compiling time, it inhibits/simplifies some features that are not essential.

In the case of the graphicx package, all pictures embedded with the \includegraphics macro are replaced by a blank frame with picture filename (i.e. the effect you observed).

TL;DR to see the picture, remove the draft option passed to \documentclass.
