Rebecca (Virago Modern Classics) ペーパーバック – 2003/1/30
購入オプションとあわせ買い
NOW A MAJOR NETFLIX FILM starring Lily James, Armie Hammer, Kristin Scott Thomas and Lily Collins.
'The moment I finished this story, I turned to page one and started it over again' MALORIE BLACKMAN
'Excellent entertainment . . . du Maurier created a scale by which modern women can measure their feelings' STEPHEN KING
'Rebecca is a masterpiece in which du Maurier pulls off several spectacular high-wire acts that many great writers wouldn't attempt' JIM CRACE, GUARDIAN
On a trip to the South of France, the shy heroine of Rebecca falls in love with Maxim de Winter, a handsome widower. Although his proposal comes as a surprise, she happily agrees to marry him. But as they arrive at her husband's home, Manderley, a change comes over Maxim, and the young bride is filled with dread. Friendless in the isolated mansion, she realises that she barely knows him. In every corner of every room is the phantom of his beautiful first wife, Rebecca, and the new Mrs de Winter walks in her shadow.
Not since Jane Eyre has a heroine faced such difficulty with the other woman. An international bestseller that has never gone out of print, Rebecca is the haunting story of a young girl consumed by love and the struggle to find her identity.
'As a new generation of readers are introduced to the wicked housekeeper Mrs Danvers and learn Maxim de Winter's terrible secret, this chilling, suspenseful tale is as fresh and readable as it was when it was first written' DAILY TELEGRAPH

レビュー
One of the most influential novels of the twentieth century, Rebecca has woven its way into the fabric of our culture with all the troubling power of myth or dream. A stunning book
With one of the most evocative first lines ever, Daphne du Maurier's fifth novel has everything a reader could ask for . . . Psychologically astute and disturbingly romantic, Rebecca was an immediate bestseller on publication in 1938 and has cast a sinister spell ever since ― Marie Claire
Her masterpiece . . . Seldom has a dead woman exercised such power beyond the grave. Rebecca will live for ever because du Maurier touches a fearful nerve, buried deep in the unconscious ― The Times
It's the perfect winter book, brooding, dangerous and engrossing -- Kit de Waal ― Sainsbury's Magazine
Addictive and breathtaking. Its blending of melodrama and subtlety is ingenious. The Cornish setting never quite leaves the imagination ― Independent
A brilliantly constructed novel - the ultimate in psychological suspense, instantly gripping and haunting, Rebecca will stay with you for ever. ― Psychologies
A mesmerising novel which reveals more on each reading
It is the greatest psychological thriller of all time. I see du Maurier as a forerunner to Patricia Highsmith, Ruth Rendell, Gillian Flynn: she is the giant whose magnificent shoulders the rest of us stand upon
What she did was build emotional landscapes that can be entered at will, in which difficult and untamable desires were given free rein. Maybe because of her relationship with gender, she was able to make worlds in which people and even houses are mysterious and mutable, not as they seem; haunted rooms in which disembodied spirits sometimes dance at absolute liberty ― Guardian
I read this book more than twenty years ago, and must have read it a dozen times since. The characters are incredibly vivid, and the twists superb. It's the book every writer wishes they'd written -- Clare Mackintosh
This 1930s gothic thriller is suspenseful and so well crafted. Its young, nameless heroine marries rich widower Maxim de Winter and returns with him to his mansion, Manderley, only to find the ghost of his first wife, Rebecca, still lingers ― Good Housekeeping
I am reminded of how profoundly du Maurier changed the way I felt about myself, how she engaged and excited me with her writing. ― Julie Myerson
The DAILY TELEGRAPH ― ‘As a new generation of readers are introduced to the wicked housekeeper Mrs Danvers and learn Maxim de Winter’s terrible secret, this chilling, suspenseful tale is as fresh and readable as it was when it was first written, more than 60 years ago.’
Excellent entertainment . . . du Maurier created a scale by which modern women can measure their feelings. ― Stephen King
著者について
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.
Sally Beauman read English at Girton College, Cambridge. She worked as a journalist in America and Britain before beginning to write fiction. She is the author of six previous novels, including the acclaimed Rebecca's Tale.

レビューのフィルタリング中に問題が発生しました。後でもう一度試してください。
他の方が書かれている通り 読みやすい英語です。一番始めのマンダレイに着く所までは植物の名前やなんかが出て来たりで、ん?はっ?と思うかも知れませんが大丈夫です。突き進んでください。
ちょうどハロウィンの時期だったのでヒッチコック監督の映画も観ました。今年の秋は「わっしょいレベッカ祭り」になりました。
Did the writer have any models to portray Mrs. Danvers in the novel? She is frightening and seems to enjoy chilling and grilling Maxim's second wife for Rebecca--her employer as well as her best companion. Perhaps Mrs. Danvers is emblematic of Rebecca herself.
Time is too powerless to weaken the splendid quality of the novel. I never get tired of re-reading it.
少々何回な自然表現もありますが比較的読みやすくはまっています。kindleで読めることに感謝です。

表紙がセピアの写真に水色でRのレタリングがある版です。
本文387ページ(1ページ40行)のほか付録として、
Author's Note、初稿のエピローグを収録。
トレード・ペーパーバック版でたいへん読みやすい。製本も上々。
多少高くとも、マスマーケット版よりいいのでは?
ねちっこい重厚なゴシック小説かと思っていたのですが、意外に読みやすい作品だった。会話部分も、あまり大仰ではなく、あまりにも口語風でもなく、適度に読みやすい。
ヒッチコックの映画があまりにも有名ですが、幸いわたしは未見でした。ストーリーを知っていると、前半の展開がじれったくて辛いかもしれません。ストーリーを知らずに、モンテカルロやコーンウォール地方の風景を楽しむつもりで読んでいくと、前半を楽しめると思います。
Mrs. Van Hopper の性格や話しぶりなど見事ですね。作者が描きたかった人物でしょう。(後半のストーリーにはまったく関係ありません。これ、ネタバレじゃないよね。)
あと、読みかどうか迷っている方のためにネタバレにならない程度の情報として、
1、1938年に発表された小説で当時の南西イングランドの上流階級と中産階級の生活が描かれている。
2.イングランドでの物語は初夏から晩夏まで。
3.幽霊や魔女などは出てきません。
4,一人称の回想形式ですが、叙述トリックのようなややこしい仕掛けはありません。
どうでもいいけど、食べきれない量の午後のお茶のお菓子類は、あとで捨てるんでしょうか。この謎(?)は解決されません!
Watercress のサンドイッチというやつ食ってみたいね。
何が凄いって、彼女の心理描写が怖いくらい凄いです。不安、恐怖、怯えの感情が絶妙に描写されていて、ぎりぎりの極限状態に少しずつ追い込まれていく様が切迫感をもって伝わってきましたし、所々ゾーッと戦慄が走りました。(こういうのはこの作家の非常に得意とするところらしいです。)別に幽霊を見たとかいう分かりやすいホラーではないからこそ。会話等も当事者間のやりとりが映画を見ているように鮮やかに頭の中に浮かんできました。
この小説は単なるサスペンスではなく、主人公の置かれた境遇とその時々の心理とを読んでみて、そういった風にがんじがらめにさせていくことに対して、作者は何かを感じとってほしいのではないでしょうか。
一つには自分の心理状態があると思います。一たびそれが変な方向に向かい窮地に自らを追い込んで疑心暗鬼にさせてしまうと、スパイラル的にますますがんじがらめな状態になってしまう、本当に恐いのはこういう心理の罠なのだと思います。自分を自由に解き放てないのは、時としていやかなり多くの場合、自分の屈折した心理状態なのかもしれません。タイトルが亡くなっている人の名前というのも象徴的だと思います。最初は私も主人公が次第に追い詰められていくのは、レベッカが魅力的で強烈なキャラクターだったからだと思いました。が、見えない敵というか亡霊が自分を圧迫して束縛しているように見えて、そのようにしているのは、実は当事者の心の持ち方であったりする・・・これはいつの時代でも誰にも起こりうることなのでしょう。
また、慣習やしきたりから自由になれない貴族社会階級社会的な環境へも何か感じずにはおれません。レベッカも実は自由でありたかったのだと思います。
最後の最後まで大事です。そして、またもう一度物語の最初の辺を読むと当初よく解らなかったことが解ってくると思います。ちなみにヒッチコックにより映画化されており、DVDも手に入りますので、読んでから見比べてみると面白いですよ。

The narrator is younger, practically a schoolgirl, her hair is drab and she bites her fingers nails, not very ladylike given the time period. Moreover, she has this inability to talk to her own servants or run a house. Rebecca, on the other hand, was a finished lady, she was exquisite as the priceless china cupid her clumsy replacement breaks. It was Rebecca who created Manderley, turning the lovely old house into the grandeur estate people rave about and it was Mrs. Danver at Rebecca’s side to ensure its grandeur was maintained, even in her death. Danvers despised men, it’s ironic that for a woman she had many male tendencies, she was a true villain.
Everyone was obsessed about Rebecca’s absence, it was tarred with jealousy on many levels, personally and intimately. When Rebecca’s body was found, the truth starts to rear its ugly head, it was sheer brilliance. It becomes a fairy tale gone wrong. The deeper you get into the book, the darker and more spooky it becomes as the mystery unfolds, a gothic core that is very compelling. The ending was ambiguous, open to interpretation of the reader, but one thing is certain, justice was not served and the reader may or may not be appalled by this.
I thoroughly enjoyed this book.
Du Maurier's prose is nothing short of wonderful, a testament to her mastery of language and storytelling. The words flow effortlessly, painting vivid images and evoking a sense of timelessness that captivates the reader from the very beginning. The sheer elegance of her writing style is a joy to experience, making "Rebecca" a literary masterpiece that stands the test of time.
At the heart of the novel is a gentle romance that unfolds with subtlety and grace. The delicate dance between the unnamed protagonist and the brooding Maxim de Winter is woven with nuance, creating a magnetic pull that keeps you immersed in their world. The romance is tender, yet tinged with an air of mystery, setting the stage for a narrative that goes beyond the conventional love story.
The plot, indeed, is both intriguing and engaging. "Rebecca" is a tale of secrets, hidden pasts, and the haunting legacy of the enigmatic Rebecca herself. The atmospheric setting of Manderley adds a layer of suspense to the story, making every revelation and twist all the more compelling. As the protagonist navigates the complexities of her new life and unravels the mysteries surrounding her husband's first wife, the reader is taken on a mesmerizing journey of discovery and suspense.
In conclusion, "Rebecca" is a literary triumph that lives up to its status as a classic. With its wonderful prose, gentle romance, and an intricately plotted narrative, it is no wonder that this novel continues to capture the hearts of readers across generations. Du Maurier's ability to craft a tale that is both timeless and evocative is nothing short of extraordinary. "Rebecca" is a must-read for those who appreciate the art of storytelling and the enduring allure of a well-crafted classic.
