Synopsis "Rebecca (Virago Modern Classics) "

A beautiful hardback edition to mark the 80th anniversary of one of the best-loved novels ever written. A gothic tale of love, secrets and jealousy.

WITH A NEW INTRODUCTION BY SARAH PERRY

'One of the most influential novels of the twentieth century, Rebecca has woven its way into the fabric of our culture with all the troubling power of myth or dream. A stunning book' SARAH WATERS

'Her masterpiece . . . Seldom has a dead woman exercised such power beyond the grave. Rebecca will live for ever because du Maurier touches a fearful nerve, buried deep in the unconscious' Kate Saunders, The Times

'A mesmerising novel which reveals more on each reading' Helen Dunmore

Last night I dreamt I went to Manderley again . . .

Working as a lady's companion, the orphaned heroine of Rebecca learns her place. Life begins to look very bleak until, on a trip to the South of France, she meets Maxim de Winter, a handsome widower whose sudden proposal of marriage takes her by surprise. Whisked from glamorous Monte Carlo to his brooding estate, Manderley, on the Cornish Coast, the new Mrs de Winter finds Max a changed man. And the memory of his dead wife Rebecca is forever kept alive by the forbidding Mrs Danvers . . .

Not since Jane Eyre has a heroine faced such difficulty with the Other Woman. An international bestseller that has never been out of print, Rebecca is the haunting story of a young woman consumed by love and the struggle to find her identity.

Nació en Londres en 1907, hija del actor y empresario Gerald du Maurier y nieta del autor e ilustrador George du Maurier. Educada en familia y más tarde en París, empezó escribiendo cuentos y artículos en 1928 y en 1931 publicó su primera novela, Espíritu de amor. El éxito de Rebeca (1938), su tercera novela, enseguida adaptada al cine por Alfred Hitchcock, le dio fama mundial, y a partir de entonces se convertiría en una de las novelistas más populares del siglo XX. Entre sus otras obras, muchas de ellas llevadas también al cine, cabe mencionar La posada Jamaica (1937; Rara Avis núm. 37), El río del Francés (1941; Rara Avis núm. 42), Monte Bravo (1943), Los parásitos (1949), Mi prima Rachel (1951; Rara Avis núm. 32), Los pájaros (relato incluido en la colección The Apple Tree, 1952), Mary Anne (1954), El chivo expiatorio (1957; Rara avis núm. 49) y La Casa de la Orilla (1969). También escribió teatro y biografías. Vivió la mayor parte de su vida en Cornualles, donde se ambientan muchas de sus novelas. Allí murió en 1989.
