Daphne du Maurier (1907–1989)
Teoksen Rebekka tekijä
Tietoja tekijästä
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 näytä lisää 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.

Kirjassa professorin kehttämä huume saa käyttäjässään hallusinaatiot ja todellisuuden sekoittumaan hienolla tavalla. Huumeen vaikutuksen alaisena käyttäjä palaa ajassa taaksepäin muinais-englantiin ja todella eläneiden ihmisten pariin...
