Rebecca de Daphne du Maurier

Rebecca

Autor Daphne du Maurier
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 27 feb 2015

Ne-a atras atenția, încă de la primele rânduri, acea atmosferă grea de presimțiri care învăluie Manderley, conacul izolat unde tânăra și timida eroină ajunge după o căsătorie precipitată în sudul Franței. Rebecca nu este doar o poveste despre gelozie, ci un studiu profund asupra modului în care absența unei persoane poate deveni mai prezentă decât realitatea însăși. Remarcăm măiestria cu care Daphne du Maurier construiește tensiunea: noua doamnă de Winter nu se luptă cu o rivală în carne și oase, ci cu ecourile, obiectele și amintirile lăsate în urmă de Rebecca, sub privirea tăioasă a menajerei Mrs. Danvers. La intersecția dintre Jamaica Inn și Rebecca's Tale, această operă combină romantismul întunecat al landei cornish cu un suspans psihologic care prefigurează genul thriller modern. Spre deosebire de tonul din The Birds And Other Stories, unde macabrul este explicit și violent, aici teroarea este subtilă, strecurându-se prin crăpăturile unei identități feminine fragile. Apreciem cum această ediție din seria Virago Modern Classics, cu designul textil semnat de Neisha Crosland, reușește să onoreze statutul de text fundamental al literaturii gotice din secolul XX, rămânând la fel de proaspăt și tulburător ca la prima publicare în 1938.

Despre autor

Daphne du Maurier (1907–1989) a fost o romancieră, dramaturgă și biografă britanică, născută într-o familie de artiști din Londra. Și-a început cariera literară în 1928, însă succesul fulminant a venit odată cu publicarea romanului Rebecca, care a propulsat-o printre cei mai populari autori ai epocii sale. Multe dintre scrierile sale, marcate de o atmosferă sinistră și macabră, au fost adaptate în filme memorabile de regizori precum Alfred Hitchcock. Pentru contribuția sa literară deosebită, a fost onorată în 1969 cu titlul de Dame Commander al Imperiului Britanic. A trăit cea mai mare parte a vieții în Cornwall, peisaj care a servit drept decor principal pentru cele mai celebre povești ale sale.

Descriere scurtă

With these words, the reader is ushered into an isolated gray stone mansion on the windswept Cornish coast, as the second Mrs. Maxim de Winter recalls the chilling events that transpired as she began her new life as the young bride of a husband she barely knew. For in every corner of every room were phantoms of a time dead but not forgotten a past devotedly preserved by the sinister housekeeper, Mrs. Danvers: a suite immaculate and untouched, clothing laid out and ready to be worn, but not by any of the great house's current occupants. With an eerie presentiment of evil tightening her heart, the second Mrs. de Winter walked in the shadow of her mysterious predecessor, determined to uncover the darkest secrets and shattering truths about Maxim's first wife the late and hauntingly beautiful Rebecca.
This special edition of "Rebecca" includes excerpts from Daphne du Maurier's "The Rebecca Notebook and Other Memories," an essay on the real Manderley, du Maurier's original epilogue to the book, and more.

Recenzii

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
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
With one of the most evocative first lines ever, Daphne du Maurier's fifth novel has everything a reader could ask for . . . Psychologically astute and disturbingly romantic, Rebecca was an immediate bestseller on publication in 1938 and has cast a sinister spell ever since
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
It's the perfect winter book, brooding, dangerous and engrossing
Addictive and breathtaking. Its blending of melodrama and subtlety is ingenious. The Cornish setting never quite leaves the imagination
A brilliantly constructed novel - the ultimate in psychological suspense, instantly gripping and haunting, Rebecca will stay with you for ever.
A mesmerising novel which reveals more on each reading
It is the greatest psychological thriller of all time. I see du Maurier as a forerunner to Patricia Highsmith, Ruth Rendell, Gillian Flynn: she is the giant whose magnificent shoulders the rest of us stand upon
What she did was build emotional landscapes that can be entered at will, in which difficult and untamable desires were given free rein. Maybe because of her relationship with gender, she was able to make worlds in which people and even houses are mysterious and mutable, not as they seem; haunted rooms in which disembodied spirits sometimes dance at absolute liberty
I read this book more than twenty years ago, and must have read it a dozen times since. The characters are incredibly vivid, and the twists superb. It's the book every writer wishes they'd written
This 1930s gothic thriller is suspenseful and so well crafted. Its young, nameless heroine marries rich widower Maxim de Winter and returns with him to his mansion, Manderley, only to find the ghost of his first wife, Rebecca, still lingers
Du Maurier builds suspense with psychological subtlety and Gothic flair . . . It is a timeless read with atmosphere to spare and just the right amount of dread
Daphne du Maurier's 1938 masterpiece Rebecca can be read a dozen times for its can't-look-away unfolding narrative of a young bride's discovery of the truth about her husband's first wife
He did not belong to me at all. He belonged to Rebecca.

Everyone knows that Maxim de Winter was obsessed with his glamorous wife - and devastated by her tragic death. So when he proposes to a shy, anxious young woman after a whirlwind meeting in the South of France, no one is more surprised than the new bride herself. But when they reach Manderley, his beautiful, isolated Cornish mansion, the second Mrs de Winter begins to realise that every inch of her new home - and everyone in it - still belongs to Rebecca.
