and nobody wants to read.’
M. Twain

We cannot agree with this statement completely. There are a lot of classic books that are very popular nowadays. Our most favourite books are all English classics.
Daphne du Maurier, an English writer, had an outstanding writing talent. Her novel “Rebecca” , one of her best works, is among the most memorable in twentieth-century literature.
There are different opinions about the main idea and the main characters of the story but there is no doubt that it is still very popular today.
To sum up, if you want to learn English history and culture, you should read English classics.

young woman. Her life is made unstable by her strangely behaving husband, Maxim, whom she just have married. His first wife’s ghost hides in the shadows of the corridors of Manderley and in the minds of all characters. Only Mr. de Winter knows the actual truth about the first marriage. It consisted of hate and betrayal. But Rebecca was dead and Maxim kept his secret. Maxim eventually reveals his secret about the first marriage. He confesses his love for his new wife after several months. The false truth comes to an end.
In our opinion, one of the main ideas of the story is:
be careful with your actions, trust people who trust you and search for true love!

finest estates in England, is 42. He is handsome, very rich but he is reserved, unemotional and lonely.

Rebecca, the first Mrs de Winter, has been dead for less than a year. But Rebecca’s presence is in and around Manderley. They say, she was a popular woman when she was alive. Everybody loved her but she was also a cruel, dominant and wicked woman, a liar.

The narrator/ the second Mrs de Winter.
We don’t know her name, she is referred to as “my wife”, “my dear” and “Mrs de Winter”. She was only 21, she was shy , naïve and very sensitive. She tells the story with feelings and despair.

“The truth about Rebecca”

Maxim tells his wife the truth about his first marriage to Rebecca. It was nothing but a sham. Everybody thought she was the kindest, the most charming person. People thought Maxim was the luckiest man in the world when he married her. But Rebecca was cruel and selfish, she manipulated everyone around her, she never loved anyone except herself. She had numerous love affairs and told Maxim about them. Once, in a rage, Maxim shot her and sank her body at sea.
The second Mrs de Winter thinks little of Maxim’s murder confession. Now she knows, Maxim has never loved Rebecca, he loves her.

“I love you so much,” he whispered, “but it’s too late.”
“It’s not too late,” I said, putting my arms round him.
“I love you more than anything in the world.”

reading about secrets, mystery, romance, love, death, betrayal. You can find all these aspects in the same book.
Rebecca is a tale of love and hate. A little spooky but enchanting. You will be kept in suspense while reading the book. The secrets of the house and its former mistress are revealed in the end.
The end of the novel is very strange, mysterious. It seems, there is no ending. But you know, “A good book has no ending” (R.D. Cumming)

в жизнь с головой.
 
Пока, это только мечтанья,
Не могу я так жить, не дано.
Как же хочется мне на свиданье,
Не носила я платьев давно.
 
Но вот моя жизнь изменилась,
Луч света в ней вдруг промелькнул.
Любовь в моём сердце открылась
Он веру мне в счастье вернул.
 
Я считала, что счастлива буду,
Проживая с любимым моим.
Я его никогда не забуду.
Но лишь в сердце останусь я с ним.
 

Никогда он меня не полюбит.
Я лишь тень, для него меня нет.
Её дух преследовать будет,
До конца его долгих лет.
 
Но вот его тайна открылась,
И всё мне понятно теперь.
Как я счастлива, все мечты сбылись,
Возвратимся в наш дом поскорей.
 
Но снова беда постучалась,
Отчетливо так в нашу дверь.
Разгорелось огромное пламя,
Всё именье в руинах теперь…
