Sobre este artículo
New York: Doubleday, Doran and Company, 1938. Unmarked, tight and square. Early printing as 1939 on title page and 1938 on copyright. Price intact jacket is separated at front fold and rear panel but in mylar appears pretty good as there is not much paper loss but for 1 1/2" triangular chip at head of spine. Tape repair was done to keep it as nice as it is. It managed to keep top and bottom edges on rear panel from chipping but tape still there. Winner of the National Book Award and basis for Hitchcock's first American Film which won the Oscar for Best Film. In mylar. . Early Printing. Hardcover. Very Good Plus/Good. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
Sinopsis
An orphaned young woman working as a maid is swept off her feet by a wealthy widowed Englishman, and quickly married him. But when she arrives at his estate she learns she pales in comparison with his seemingly perfect deceased first wife Rebecca, especially in the eyes of the sinister housekeeper Mrs. Danvers. When Rebecca’s body is found on her shipwrecked boat the dark secrets held by the husband are discovered as well. Rebecca has had many adaptations in film, radio, and television, the most famous being the Academy-Award Winning Hitchcock adaptation released in 1940. Du Maurier wrote the novel in a reported 4 months. Her publisher, Gollancz, expected the book to be successful and ordered 20,000 copies for the first print run. Within a month the novel had sold twice that.
