Daphne du Maurier (1907–1989)
Autor de Rebeca
Sobre El Autor
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 mostrar más 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 the 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.

Hacía tiempo que no leía libros decimonónicos y me apetecía volver a un tema que me ha acompañado durante toda mi infancia, cuando devoraba estas novelas con una linterna debajo de las sábanas o encaramada a un árbol.
El estilo de Du Maurier es inconfundible, no se parece a ningún otro. Me ha recordado muchísimo a Rebeca, por diferentes razones que no voy a mencionar para no destripar nada, y me ha encantado. La estructura es impecable, te va llevando de la mano a donde quiere, que es una de las mayores virtudes de esta autora.
Como siempre, la protagonista femenina es prodigiosa por su ambigüedad y por la forma en que están construidos todos los detalles. No sé si es una novela de misterio, porque hay misterios que nunca se resuelven. Muy recomendable.… (más)
