内容简介
I Went To Manderley Again." So the second Mrs. Maxim de Winter
remembered the chilling events that led her down the turning drive
past ther beeches, white and naked, to the isolated gray stone
manse on the windswept Cornish coast. With a husband she barely
knew, the young bride arrived at this immense estate, only to be
inexorably drawn into the life of the first Mrs. de Winter, the
beautiful Rebecca, dead but never forgotten...her suite of rooms
never touched, her clothes ready to be worn, her servant -- the
sinister Mrs. Danvers -- still loyal. And as an eerie presentiment
of evil tightened around her heart, the second Mrs. de Winter began
her search for the real fate of Rebecca...for the secrets of
Manderley.
作者简介
Daphne Du Maurier was born in London on May 13, 1907 and
educated in Paris. In 1932, she married Lieutenant-General Sir
Frederick Browning. She began writing short stories of mystery and
suspense for magazines in 1928, a collection of which appeared as
The Apple Tree in 1952. Her first novel, The Loving Spirit, was
published in 1931. Her tightly woven, highly suspenseful plots and
her strong characters make her stories perfect for adaptation to
film or television. Among her many novels that were made into
successful films are Jamaica Inn (1936), Rebecca (1938),
Frenchman's Creek (1941), Hungry Hill (1943), My Cousin Rachel
(1952), and The Scapegoat (1957). Her short story The Birds (1953)
was brought to screen by director Alfred Hitchcock in a treatment
that has become a classic horror-suspense film. She died on April
19, 1989 at the age of 81.
