EN LA MANSIÓN DE MANDERLEY VIVIÓ REBECCA, MUERTA TRÁGICAMENTE, EL SEÑOR DE WINTER REGRESA CON SU NUEVA ESPOSA, JÓVEN E ILUSIONADA, PRONTO LA SEÑORA DANVERS, AMA DE LLAVES, LE RECUERDA LO "PERFECTA" QUE ERA REBECCA, CUYA PRESENCIA SE HACE OBSESIVAMENTE CONSTANTE. ( ![]() Si no fuese porque uno ya conoce la película, al principio esta novela le parecería un folletón romántico. Pero pronto empiezan a añadirse elementos de otros géneros: "thriller" psicológico, novela gótica o de terror, novela negra, hasta toques costumbristas o vagos recuerdos de Virginia Woolf. Y, cuando me quise dar cuenta, estaba tan enganchado que no pude irme a dormir hasta terminar la historia. Por cierto, que las páginas finales incluyen varias vueltas de tuerca a cual más sorprendente. Todo ello nos lleva a una autora magistral, que utiliza el relato en primera persona (una protagonista cuyo nombre jamás se pronuncia) para que de verdad dudemos con ella, nos asustemos con ella, nos aburramos con ella y nos sintamos zarandeados por lo que los demás hacen, dicen o piensan, sin estar seguros nunca del suelo que pisamos. Una auténtica obra de arte, a la altura o incluso superando a la genial película. In this re-reading of this modern classic I found that my perception of the main character, Ms.de Winter, has changed from previous readings. I have enjoyed the fact that the narrative allows for different interpretations and for different layers to appear on a second and third reading. In previous readings, the main character seemed to me a naive, good natured woman that finds herself in a situation that she was unprepared to face (big house, rich husband, the shadow of a previous wife...) this time I paid attention to other traits of her character that are also important in the story. She seemed more knowing and calculating, and less good natured than before... she also shows a serious lack of good judgement when her husband explained to her what happened to Rebecca on the night of her disappearance. She was then more interested in his fate and on making sure others did not find out about the truth, than on her own safety. Would a young naive woman feel safe in Manderley after knowing what happened to Rebecca? This is a very enjoyable story, which improves on re-reading it. "Anoche soñé que volvía a Manderley". Me encanta este libro. Tensión, intriga, drama psicológico. Genial. Maxim de Winter regresa a Manderley, la casa en la que vivía con su primera esposa, Rebecca, que murió ahogada en el mar. Regresa con su nueva e inocente mujer, la cual descubrirá que Manderley no es el mundo perfecto que ella cree: allí vive también la inquietante señora Danvers, el ama de llaves, quien no sólo no acepta a la joven, sino que constantemente le recuerda la figura de Rebecca, la única e insustituible señora De Winter
"Rebecca is a lowbrow story with a middlebrow finish,” announced The Times Literary Supplement when Daphne du Maurier’s bestselling novel was first issued in 1938. Critic V.S. Pritchett was even more dismissive in his review, announcing that Rebecca "would be here today, gone tomorrow." The novel did generate positive coverage in Good Housekeeping and Ladies Home Journal, but that kind of praise did more harm than good in elite literary circles.... [the] novel has slowly climbed the path from lowbrow to highbrow in the eight decades since its initial publication, and is now more likely encountered on a college syllabus than at a supermarket checkout counter. You will now find Rebecca on the assigned reading lists of classes on gender politics, British fiction, Gothic style and other academic subjects.... Rebecca ranks among the most acute literary explorations of jealousy.... In truth, plot plays only a small part in the lasting success of this novel. The story itself is simple, and even the supposedly surprising twists are often telegraphed long in advance. What sets Rebecca apart from its peers is its author’s mastery of tone and mood, emotion and psychology.
