Produktbeschreibungen
From Library Journal
Surely no audiobook collection should be without some version of this timeless classic, arguably the most famous and well-loved gothic novel of the 20th century, and this production would be an excellent choice. Read in wonderfully British cadences by Anna Massey, all the mysterious and oppressive nuances are made immediate and chilling. We even feel some sympathy for the absurdly timid and cowering heroine; it is, after all, easy to imagine feeling woefully inferior to the predecessor and desperately eager to please. Of course the story requires great leaps of credulity... Forget the movie; it makes mincemeat of the actual tale. A wise seven-year-old once told me, "The book is always betterDit goes right into your head." This is a prime exampleDlisten again; it gets even better. Highly recommended.DHarriet Edwards, East Meadow P.L., NY

I read this book for a report in highschool. In the beginning, I wasn't impressed, but then I could not put the book down! I read the entire book in about a day! Manderly was another world for me. I felt like I was living through Mrs. De Winter. Du Maurier writes with such exquisite attention to detail. She creates real characters. I've read this book many times since and it is definetly my favorite book!

This book is superbly written from the point of view of a young woman (how young, we never know) who marries a wealthy man, Max de Winter, and comes back to his family estate, Manderly, in England only to be met by a housekeeper who is still loyal to the former (now deceased) Mrs Rebecca de Winter. The myth of Rebecca begins to haunt the young woman and soon has consequences for her and the rest of the household. Du Maurier manages to keep the pace on every single page -- her writing is simply impeccable -- and leaves reader in the dark as to what really happened, only allowing truths to raise their heads occasionally. What is more impressive, is that she manages to get the reader to sympathise with a murderer. Set presumably in the 1920s-30s, this book is not only a great read but also a superb evocation of upper-class English life in that era.

The reason the book is called Rebecca is because, even if she was dead from the beginning of the story, Rebecca is the only interesting character in it. That is not to say the book is bad, not at all; it's charged with suspense and mystery from the moment Mr De Winter brings home wife number two, a simple young girl with the personality of a rabbit, who as soon as she arrives to Manderley is intimidated by the memory of the incomparable Rebecca, as present in her death as she was in life. Terrorized by a creepy servant who idolized her former mistress, bit by bit the second Mrs De Winter reconstructs the past of her new family and, of course Rebecca's. In some parts the story becomes a little heavy, besides, I found the atmosphere quite depressing, but I think that adds to the story, that sense of dread that comes from feeling Rebecca's awesome presence all over the lives of those involved with Manderley. It's a very, very good book, and I'm anxious to see the movie Hithcock made based on it, only him could do justice to this kind of story. A perfect choice to read in a stormy night.

The classic co-dependency novel
I wanted to take the second Mrs. de Winter, give her a good shake and tell her to get a grip! It's no wonder du Maurier never gave her a name. Lesen Sie weiter...

Rebecca
I thought that this book was fantastic! I loved it so much. I can't believe that Manderly burnt down though, and I am intrigued to read the next book.

Not great
Even as a high school English teacher, this book was a little too wordy, and the climax wasn't really that great. Lesen Sie weiter...
