A beautiful hardback edition to mark the 80th anniversary of one of the best-loved novels ever written. A gothic tale of love, secrets and jealousy.
WITH A NEW INTRODUCTION BY SARAH PERRY
'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' SARAH WATERS
'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' Kate Saunders, The Times
'A mesmerising novel which reveals more on each reading' Helen Dunmore
Last night I dreamt I went to Manderley again . . .
Working as a lady's companion, the orphaned heroine of Rebecca learns her place. Life begins to look very bleak until, on a trip to the South of France, she meets Maxim de Winter, a handsome widower whose sudden proposal of marriage takes her by surprise. Whisked from glamorous Monte Carlo to his brooding estate, Manderley, on the Cornish Coast, the new Mrs de Winter finds Max a changed man. And the memory of his dead wife Rebecca is forever kept alive by the forbidding Mrs Danvers . . .
Not since Jane Eyre has a heroine faced such difficulty with the Other Woman. An international bestseller that has never been out of print, Rebecca is the haunting story of a young woman consumed by love and the struggle to find her identity.
Watching the news, Hanagaki Takemichi learns his junior-high girlfriend
Tachibana Hinata has died. A sudden shove sends him 12 years into the
past to face the Tokyo Manji Gang that once made his life hell, which
is also responsible for Hinata’s death in the present. To save Hinata
and change the future, Takemichi must rise to the top of Kanto’s most
sinister delinquent gang! But things aren’t so simple when he befriends
the gang’s leader, Mikey. What turned Mikey from a petulant child to
the leader of the most infamous gang in Tokyo?
Resurrect the tense conflict between the Jujutsu Sorcerers and the
cursed spirits in this collection of original stories. Sorcery and
demon curses abound in this collection of stories spun from the
world of Jujutsu Kaisen. A talent scout who approaches Kugisaki on
a street corner turns out to be a Cursed Speech user with an
ulterior motive. When Inumaki comes to her rescue, things don't
quite turn out as he planned... Then Mechamaru goes on a solo
mission, Gojo and friends take a night off, and more chilling and
charming adventures ensue in these five short stories set in the
world of Jujutsu Kaisen.

When Ann Beattie began publishing short stories in "The New Yorker
"in the mid-seventies, she emerged with a voice so original, and so
uncannily precise and prescient in its assessment of her
characters' drift and narcissism, that she was instantly celebrated
as a voice of her generation. Her name became an adjective:
"Beattiesque." Subtle, wry, and unnerving, she is a master observer
of the unraveling of the American family, and also of the myriad
small occurrences and affinities that unite us. Her characters,
over nearly four decades, have moved from lives of fickle desire to
the burdens and inhibitions of adulthood and on to failed
aspirations, sloppy divorces, and sometimes enlightenment, even
grace.
Each Beattie story, says Margaret Atwood, is "like a fresh bulletin
from the front: we snatch it up, eager to know what's happening out
there on the edge of that shifting and dubious no-man's-land known
as interpersonal relations." With an unparalleled gift for dialogue
and laser wit, she delivers flash reports on the cultural landscape
of her time. "Ann Beattie: The New Yorker Stories "is the perfect
initiation for readers new to this iconic American writer and a
glorious return for those who have known and loved her work for
decades.
