Rebecca

Rebecca pdf epub mobi txt 電子書 下載2025

If Daphne du Maurier had written only Rebecca, she would still be one of the great shapers of popular culture and the modern imagination. Few writers have created more magical and mysterious places than Jamaica Inn and Manderley, buildings invested with a rich character that gives them a memorable life of their own.

In many ways the life of Daphne du Maurier resembles a fairy tale. Born into a family with a rich artistic and historical background, the daughter of a famous actor-manager, she was indulged as a child and grew up enjoying enormous freedom from financial and parental restraint. She spent her youth sailing boats, travelling on the Continent with friends, and writing stories. A prestigious publishing house accepted her first novel when she was in her early twenties, and its publication brought her not only fame but the attentions of a handsome soldier, Major (later Lieutenant-General Sir) Frederick Browning, whom she married.

Her subsequent novels became bestsellers, earning her enormous wealth and fame. While Alfred Hitchcock's film based upon her novel proceeded to make her one of the best-known authors in the world, she enjoyed the life of a fairy princess in a mansion in Cornwall called Menabilly, which served as the model for Manderley in Rebecca.

Daphne du Maurier was obsessed with the past. She intensively researched the lives of Francis and Anthony Bacon, the history of Cornwall, the Regency period, and nineteenth-century France and England. Above all, however, she was obsessed with her own family history, which she chronicled in Gerald: A Portrait, a biography of her father; The du Mauriers, a study of her family which focused on her grandfather, George du Maurier, the novelist and illustrator for Punch; The Glassblowers, a novel based upon the lives of her du Maurier ancestors; and Growing Pains, an autobiography that ignores nearly 50 years of her life in favour of the joyful and more romantic period of her youth. Daphne du Maurier can best be understood in terms of her remarkable and paradoxical family, the ghosts which haunted her life and fiction.

While contemporary writers were dealing critically with such subjects as the war, alienation, religion, poverty, Marxism, psychology and art, and experimenting with new techniques such as the stream of consciousness, du Maurier produced 'old-fashioned' novels with straightforward narratives that appealed to a popular audience's love of fantasy, adventure, sexuality and mystery. At an early age, she recognised that her readership was comprised principally of women, and she cultivated their loyal following through several decades by embodying their desires and dreams in her novels and short stories.

In some of her novels, however, she went beyond the technique of the formulaic romance to achieve a powerful psychological realism reflecting her intense feelings about her father, and to a lesser degree, her mother. This vision, which underlies Julius, Rebecca and The Parasites, is that of an author overwhelmed by the memory of her father's commanding presence. In Julius and The Parasites, for example, she introduces the image of a domineering but deadly father and the daring subject of incest.

In Rebecca, on the other hand, du Maurier fuses psychological realism with a sophisticated version of the Cinderella story. The nameless heroine has been saved from a life of drudgery by marrying a handsome, wealthy aristocrat, but unlike the Prince in Cinderella, Maxim de Winter is old enough to be the narrator's father. The narrator thus must do battle with The Other Woman—the dead Rebecca and her witch-like surrogate, Mrs Danvers—to win the love of her husband and father-figure.

Last night I dreamt I went to Manderley again . . .

The novel begins in Monte Carlo, where our heroine is swept off her feet by the dashing widower Maxim de Winter and his sudden proposal of marriage. Orphaned and working as a lady's maid, she can barely believe her luck. It is only when they arrive at his massive country estate that she realizes how large a shadow his late wife will cast over their lives--presenting her with a lingering evil that threatens to destroy their marriage from beyond the grave.

第一次写书评。 很特别喜欢这部小说的描写手法,从昨天晚上一开始读,就再也停不下来。书中的叙述者在我看来充满魅力,最重要的是她真实,比起吕贝卡,她不懂世故,不知怎么漂亮地跟别人周旋,处理事情也总是很犹豫,是一个再也普通不过的少女,甚至,她充满了自卑,唯唯诺诺地...

追忆第一次于文字中看到石楠,是在《呼啸山庄》广袤的荒原上。时隔多日,我如痴如醉地走进《蝴蝶梦》,走进了神秘的曼陀丽,蓦然看到,这里竟也有石楠,只是不同于那野性苍凉的初次印象,曼陀丽的石楠拥有高耸密集的火红,像血一样。 《蝴蝶梦》(又译《丽贝卡》)的作者达...

“你我之间,她从未出现,却无处不在......”如此简短的一句话,却生动地揭示了丽贝卡在曼德丽庄园无与伦比的地位。 丽贝卡无疑是《蝴蝶梦》全书最耐人寻味的的人物。她在曼德利庄园深深镌刻下了自己的印记,深刻到庄园的每一个角落仿佛都能看到她的踪影,深刻到丹弗斯夫人完完...

When I was reading a book on the literary history of Meji Japan (1868 - 1912) a couple of days ago, the sort of reading that one reads merely for the purpose of her research, there was a line at the end of chapter 1 that caught my attention. It was a quote ...

长久没有读完这么厚的一本书,可是却也不觉得疲乏,反而被作者笔下那个世上唯一的曼陀丽吸引着,即使是译本,那些景色还是美得让人窒息。满墙艳丽的石南花,静谧的幸福谷,栗子树下的午茶…… 其实我不懂为什么书名要叫做Rebecca,又为什么大家说Rebecca才是真正的主角。或许...

蝴蝶夢

很著迷

剩最後兩個小時,棄。實在受不瞭瞭。一點不能認同女主和Mr de Winter,這種敢殺不敢認的人。。那麼最後四分之一篇幅一直在說謊,企圖苟活,還那麼恬然。越看女主小人得誌的樣子越喜歡Rebecca。。

The plot itself isn't that innovative. But the mechanics it employs is inspiring. I especially appreciate the indirect way of Rebecca's being portrayed. By the way, though I can't think up a better Chinese translation of the name "蝴蝶夢", I still think such translation slightly shift the focus from Rebecca to the two living characters.
