Krátky popis
'As compelling as any du Maurier mystery - an extraordinary family
saga wonderfully told' GYLES BRANDRETH'An unforgettable portrait of
Daphne du Maurier' TATIANA DE ROSNAY, author of Manderley Forever
An intimate, revelatory family biography of the iconic writer
Daphne du Maurier and her famous ancestors, by her eldest grandson
Born into a well-known artistic dynasty, Daphne du Maurier grew up
in an atmosphere of carefree privilege - but at a time when women
of her class were not expected to have a career. She however defied
convention and moved to Cornwall to pursue her ambition to become a
writer. There, over six decades, she dreamt up the stories that
have sold tens of millions of copies worldwide and still haunt our
cultural imagination, including Rebecca, Jamaica Inn and 'The
Birds'.Last Night I Dreamt explores how the turbulence and
contradictions of Daphne's own life - spanning war, complex family
dynamics, a marriage to a renowned but damaged general, and
unrequited love - inspired her writing.It also uncovers the
powerful influence of her notable forebears, in particular her
domineering father Gerald, the most famous actor-manager of his
generation, her grandfather George, a renowned Victorian novelist
and cartoonist, and the mistress to the Duke of York, Mary Anne
Clarke, another woman who refused to obey the rules. Paul de
Zulueta, Daphne's grandson, has drawn on private family archives,
new interviews and his own memories of his grandmother, a woman who
was central to his early life. In doing so, he gives us an
extraordinary look into the world of Daphne du Maurier with rare
closeness and emotional candour, and a moving portrait of one of
the great British artistic families of the 19th and 20th centuries.
