Daphne du Maurier Ordine dei libri (cronologico)

"Ребекка" (1938 г.) – самый знаменитый роман Дафны Дюморье. Несмотря на то, что многие критики и читатели видят в его сюжете некоторое сходство с легендарной "Джейн Эйр" Шарлотты Бронте, произведение Дафны Дюморье никак нельзя назвать вторичным. Это очень увлекательный текст, держащий читателя в напряжении до самой последней страницы. Совершенно особый мир английского поместья Мэндерли – постепенно ты настолько погружаешься в его жизнь, ритм и атмосферу, что начинаешь чувствовать себя его обитателем. Кроме того, это удивительно тонко описанное противостояние двух женщин – новой и бывшей хозяйки Мэндерли: первая – полна жизни, молода и красива, вторая – уже год как покойница, но по-прежнему будоражит ум и сознание. Это, наконец, тайна, которую читателю предстоит разгадать вместе с героиней. Это и детектив, и психологический триллер, и любовный роман. Не случайно по этой книге снято столько фильмов; самая известная экранизация 1940 года принадлежит Альфреду Хичкоку.

Dispatch the maimed, the old, the weak, destroy the very world itself, for what is the point of life if the promise of fulfilment lies elsewhere? On the windswept coast of rural Suffolk, a deranged scientist attempts to extract the essence of life itself.

In 'The Doll', a waterlogged notebook is washed ashore. Its pages tell a dark story of obsession and jealousy. But the fate of its narrator is a mystery. Many of the stories in this haunting collection have only recently been discovered. Most were written early in Daphne du Maurier's career, yet they display her mastery of atmosphere, tension and intrigue and reveal a cynicism far beyond her years.

A carefully graded series of retold versions of popular classic and contemporary titles and specially written stories continue to grow and there are now over 170 titles in the series. Most titles are available with Audio CDs and most include accompanying exercises and glossaries.

Sir John ist am Boden zerstört: Warum hat sich seine Frau Mary das Leben genommen? Sie waren glücklich verheiratet, erwarteten ein Kind und hatten alles, was man sich nur wünschen kann. Um den wahren Grund für ihre Verzweiflungstat zu erfahren, engagiert ihr Mann einen Privatdetektiv, der Marys Vergangenheit durchleuchten soll: Warum wurde sie mit 15 Jahren zur Adoption freigegeben und was haben die damaligen Ereignisse in ihrer Schule mit ihrem Selbstmord zu tun? Privatdetektiv Blake kommt bald der grausamen Wahrheit auf die Spur ... §Ohne ihn ist der beliebte Münchner "Tatort" einfach nicht mehr vorstellbar: Udo Wachtveitl, seit 1991 Tatort-Kommissar Franz Leitmeyer, findet mit seinem gewohnt trockenen Witz und Scharfsinn für Privatdetektiv Blake den denkbar treffendsten Ausdruck und Tonfall.

Die Novellen Daphne du Mauriers sind erzählerische Kabinettstücke. Kaum ein heutiger Autor vermag das Unheimliche und Unberechenbare raffinierter und brillanter bloßzulegen. „Sie erweitert die Wirklichkeit um jenen Bereich, der uns sonst nur in Träumen begegnet“, sagte Alfred Hitchcock.

[ Penguin Readers Level 2 ] The idea for this famous story came to du Maurier one day when she was walking across to Menabilly Barton farm from the house. She saw a farmer busily ploughing a field whilst above him the seagulls were diving and wheeling. She developed an idea about the birds becoming hostile and attacking him. In her story, the birds become hostile after a harsh winter with little food—first the seagulls, then birds of prey, and finally even small birds—all turn against mankind. The nightmarish vision appealed to Hitchcock who turned it into the celebrated film.

Man kennt die Autorin als Verfasserin von Romanen, die immer neue Lesergenerationen begeistern. Mit Büchern wie Rebecca oder Meine Cousine Rachel hat sie sich Weltruhm erschrieben. Aber die noch eindrucksvollere Begabung der Daphne Du Maurier liegt auf einem anderen Gebiet: der Novelle, der klassischen short story. Hier hat sie es zu einer Meisterschaft gebracht, die ihr Vergleiche mit Edgar Allan Poe, Guy de Maupassant und anderen großen Erzählern eintrugen. Tatsächlich vermag kaum eine heutige Autorin das Hintergründige im Menschen raffinierter und brillanter bloßzulegen. Ein Beweis dafür ist dieser Band. Jede seiner Erzählungen verrät etwas von der Doppelbödigkeit der Wirklichkeit, jedes dieser Kabinnettstücke überrascht durch seine schicksalhafte Pointe: subtile Meisterwerke voll unheimlicher Visionen und Todesdrohungen.

This volume contains four novels: ■ Jamaica Inn ■ Rebecca ■ Frenchman's Creek ■ My Cousin Rachel

Both her novels and her non-fiction reveal Daphne du Maurier's overwhelming desire to explore her family's history. In Myself When Young, based on diaries that she kept from 1920-1932, the most famous du Maurier probes her own past, beginning with her earliest memories and encompassing the publication of her first book and her subsequent marriage. Here, the writer is open and sometimes painfully honest about the difficult relationship with her father; her education in Paris; early love affairs; her antipathy towards London life and the theatre; her intense love for Cornwall and her desperate ambition to succeed as a writer. The resulting portrait is of a captivating and complex character.

Robert Devereaux, Earl of Essex and England's greatest hero, was betrayed into dishonor by his beloved but tempestuous queen....An absorbing historical saga

The celebrated biography of Gerald du Maurier, last of the great actor- managers, by his daughter.

DAPHNE DU MAURIER patrí k najznámejším a najpopulárnejším anglosaským spisovateľkám, najmä vďaka svetovému úspechu románu Rebeka (1938). Pochádza z rodiny s umeleckými tradíciami — jej otec bol slávnym hercom a režisérom a starý otec obľúbeným karikaturistom a spisovateľom. Po výchove doma a v Paríži začala autorka r. 1928 písať články a poviedky a r. 1931 vydala prvý román Milujúci duch. Nasledovali ďalšie romány, otcov životopis a Rebeka, ktorá sa dočkala tridsiatich deviatich anglických vydaní, preložili ju do vyše dvadsiatich jazykov a slávny Alfred Hitchcock nakrútil podľa nej film s Laurencom Olivierom v hlavnej úlohe. Z jej neskoršej tvorby vynikajú dva romány, ktoré teraz predkladáme našim čitateľom; Francúzova zátoka vyšla r. 1941 a Hladný vrch r. 1943.

"Prime du Maurier. . . . She holds her characters close to reality; the past she creates is valid, and her skill in finessing the time shifts is enough to make one want to try a little of the brew."-"New York Times"

Daphne du Maurier and Cornwall belong together as surely as Hardy and Dorset, or Dickens and Christmas. Miss du Maurier has made Cornwall her home for most of her life and has shown her love and knowledge of all things Cornish in some of her greatest successes, Rebecca, Frenchman's Creek, Jamaica Inn and many of her other much-loved books. In this book she and her son Christian Browning, the photographer, chronicle aspects of that legendary peninsula which may not be with us very much longer

Both a spellbinding love story and a superb evocation of Cornwall's mythic past, Castle Dor is a book with unique and fascinating origins. It began life as the unfinished last novel of Sir Arthur Quiller-Couch, the celebrated 'Q', and was passed by his daughter to Daphne du Maurier whose storytelling skills were perfectly suited to the task of completing the old master's tale. The result is this magical, compelling recreation of the legend of Tristan and Iseult, transplanted in time to the Cornwall of the last century. A chance encounter between the Breton onion-seller, Amyot Trestane, and the newly-wed Linnet Lewarne launches their tragic story, taking them in the fateful footsteps of the doomed lovers of Cornish legend ...

In this collection of suspenseful tales in which fantasies, murderous dreams and half-forgotten worlds are exposed, Daphne du Maurier explores the boundaries of reality and imagination.

How long he fought with them in the darkness he could not tell, but at last the beating of the wings about him lessened and then withdrew . . . ' A classic of alienation and horror, 'The Birds' was immortalised by Hitchcock in his celebrated film. The five other chilling stories in this collection echo a sense of dislocation and mock man's sense of dominance over the natural world. The mountain paradise of 'Monte Verità' promises immortality, but at a terrible price; a neglected wife haunts her husband in the form of an apple tree; a professional photographer steps out from behind the camera and into his subject's life; a date with a cinema usherette leads to a walk in the cemetery; and a jealous father finds a remedy when three's a crowd . . .

Gripping and complex, this is a masterful exploration of doubling and identity, and of the dark side of the self.

Daphne Du Maurier's story of sex, society and scandal, based on the life of her great-great-grandmother. Cockney girl Mary Anne has known the grinding heel of poverty. Now, with beauty, brains and ambition, and the glittering decadence of Regency London to sustain her, she becomes a Royal mistress.
