Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Daphne du Maurier (1907-1989) was born in London, England. In 1931 her first novel, The Loving Spirit was published. A biography of her father and three other novels followed, but it was the novel Rebecca that launched her into the literary stratosphere and made her one of the most popular authors of her day. In 1932, du Maurier married Major Frederick Browning with whom she had three children.

Many of du Maurier's bestselling novels and short stories were adapted into award-winning films, including Alfred Hitchcock's The Birds and Nicolas Roeg's Don't Look Now. In 1969, du Maurier was awarded the Dame Commander of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire (DBE). She lived most of her life in Cornwall and died there which is the setting for many of her books.

Aus dem Klappentext

On a sharp December day, the wind changes - and the birds begin to gather.
In the twisting alleyways of Venice, a grieving couple catch a glimpse of their lost child.
An eye operation reveals a monstrous reality, wartime scientists attempt to harness the power of death, and a woman returns home to find no trace of her existence.

From the inimitable imagination of Daphne du Maurier, these thirteen chilling stories pierce to the dark heart of our relationships: between men and women, humanity and nature, love and obsession, the future and the past. Uncanny, provocative and spine-crawlingly terrifying, these tales will keep you up long after midnight. Whatever you do, don't look now . . .
