Daphne du Maurier: The Birds. The Apple Tree and Other Stories. Printed book.

The name of English writer Daphne du Maurier (1907–1989) is known to readers all over the world; her books have become classics of 20th-century literature and have been translated into many languages. A master of intrigue and a subtle psychologist, Daphne du Maurier has an unparalleled ability to keep the reader in suspense; it is no wonder her work has consistently inspired famous film directors, including the legendary Alfred Hitchcock, who created successful films based on her works: Rebecca, The Birds, and Jamaica Inn. Throughout her long career, Daphne du Maurier published over a dozen novels, plays, fictionalized biographies, a book about Cornwall, as well as several collections of short fiction: The Birds (this edition also includes the story "Happy Christmas," which long remained unknown to the Russian reader), The Blue Lenses, Rendezvous, and Not After Midnight. Reflecting the author's multifaceted talent, Daphne du Maurier's mini-masterpieces are stunning in their exceptional variety of themes, plots, and moods, yet they remain equally original and captivating, just like everything else that flowed from her pen.
