Quotes

Happiness is not a possession to be prized, it is a quality of thought, a state of mind.
Last night I dreamt I went to Manderley again.
Women want love to be a novel, men a short story.



Daphne du Maurier—author of "Rebecca"—was born on May 13th 1907. Often dismissed as a sentimental 'romantic novelist', her forgotten short stories reveal darker and more shocking tales; "The Doll", for example, explores a young woman's obsession with a mechanical male sex doll

介紹 My Cousin Rachel (1951)，說大家認為它比1938年的《蝴蝶夢》更好，靈感來自修屋時某鉛管上的刻名。另外介紹短篇小說集：《再吻我，陌生人》 The Apple Tree (1952) (short story collection, AKA Kiss Me Again, Stranger)。
可見當時台北的文人消息尚靈通。





達夫妮·杜穆里埃女爵士，布朗寧爵士夫人，DBE（Dame Daphne du Maurier, Lady Browning，1907年5月13日－1989年4月19日），一譯達夫妮·杜莫里哀，英國小說家、劇作家。
杜穆里埃的小說多以故鄉康沃爾郡的海岸為地點，情節曲折，扣人心弦，代表作品有《蝴蝶夢》和《牙買加客棧》[1]。她的多部作品都被改編為電影，當中包括《蝴蝶夢》、《牙買加客棧》兩部小說和《鳥》、《威尼斯癡魂》兩個短篇故事。前三部電影都由亞佛烈德·希區考克執導，而最後一部電影則由尼古拉斯·羅伊格執導。

大部分人認為她的最佳作品是多次改編為戲劇和電影的小說《蝴蝶夢》（Rebecca）或譯作《麗貝卡》。1938年她憑藉這部小說贏得了美國國家圖書獎。[3]   http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rebecca_%28novel%29

《蝴蝶夢》的改編電影獲得了巨大成功，獲得了1941年的奧斯卡最佳影片獎。
