Synopsis

Un manoir majestueux : Manderley. Un an après sa mort, le charme noir de l ancienne propriétaire, Rebecca de Winter, hante encore le domaine et ses habitants. La nouvelle épouse, jeune et timide, de Maxim de Winter pourra-t-elle échapper à cette ombre, à son souvenir ?
Immortalisé au cinéma par Hitchcock en 1940, le chef-d uvre de Daphné du Maurier a fasciné plus de trente millions de lecteurs à travers le monde. Il fait aujourd hui l objet d une traduction inédite qui a su restituer toute la puissance d'évocation du texte originel et en révéler la noirceur.

Rebecca est un de ces romans qui hantent un esprit toute une vie.Olivia Mauriac, Figaro Madame.

Une excellente traduction qui permet de redécouvrir ce roman indémodable et subtil. Olivia de Lamberterie, Elle.

About this title

About the Author:

Daphne du Maurier (1907-89) was born in London, the daughter of the famous actor-manager Sir Gerald du Maurier and granddaughter of George du Maurier, the author and artist. In 1931 her first novel, The Loving Spirit, was published. A biography of her father and three other novels followed, but it was the novel Rebecca that launched her into the literary stratosphere and made her one of the most popular authors of her day. In 1932, du Maurier married Major Frederick Browning, with whom she had three children.Many of du Maurier's bestselling novels and short stories were adapted into award-winning films, including Alfred Hitchcock's The Birds and Nicolas Roeg's Don't Look Now. In 1969 du Maurier was awarded a DBE. She lived most of her life in Cornwall, the setting for many of her books.

Review:

From the opening sentence - "Last night I dreamed I went to Manderley again" - to the final - "And the ashes blew towards us with the salt wind from the sea" - I was hooked ... Rebecca is one of the underrated classics of the 20th century ... Rebecca is a masterpiece in which du Maurier pulls off several spectacular high-wire acts that many great writers wouldn't attempt -- Jim Crace * Guardian * A mesmerising novel which reveals more on each reading -- Helen Dunmore
