Daphne du Maurier was born on at 24 Cumberland Terrace, Regent's Park, London, the middle of three daughters of prominent actor-manager Sir Gerald du Maurier and actress Muriel, ne Beaumont. Daphne du Maurier struggled with writer’s block while writing Rebecca. Here we sat together, Maxim and I, hand-in-hand, and the past and the future mattered not at all. This moment was safe though, this could not be touched. ![]() Some of us would go away, or suffer, or die, the future stretched away in front of us, unknown, unseen, not perhaps what we wanted, not what we planned. And we would be changed perhaps, never sitting quite like this again. In a little while it would be different, there would come tomorrow, and the next day and another year. ![]() “I wanted to go on sitting there, not talking, not listening to the others, keeping the moment precious for all time, because we were peaceful all of us, we were content and drowsy even as the bee who droned above our heads. This special edition of Rebecca includes excerpts from Daphne du Maurier's The Rebecca Notebook and Other Memories, an essay on the real Manderley, du Maurier's original epilogue to the book, and more. ![]() ![]() “Evanovich’s comedic timing and pacing are evident on every page.” -Daily Republic Evanovich fans will find this closer in style to the Stephanie Plum novels.” - Booklist A plan so sinister that only a megalomaniac could think it up, and only the unlikely duo of the irrepressibly charming Emerson Knight and the tenacious Riley Moon can stop it. ![]() Through the streets of Washington, D.C., and down into the underground vault of the Federal Reserve in New York City, an evil plan is exposed.

Here is a word picture of a people who came to these islands as pagans and yet within two hundred years had become Christians, to such effect that England was the centre of missionary endeavour and, for a time, the heart of European civilization. ![]() They, and many other treasures, are included in The Anglo-Saxon World: chronicles, laws and letters, charters and charms, and above all superb poems. Beowulf, The Battle of Maldon, The Dream of the Rood, The Wanderer, and The Seafarer are among the greatest surviving Anglo-Saxon poems. ![]() ![]() But when their secret is discovered, the resulting chaos, including a murder, unleashes convulsive repercussions on the entire community.

The first chapter examines three political chronicles of Rodolfo Walsh – Operación masacre (1957), Caso Satanowsky (1958) and ¿Quién mató a Rosendo? (1968), which focus on denouncing criminal acts committed by the Argentinean government – and compares Walsh’s intended goals with the actual achievements of the books. The introduction is concerned with defining the chronicle, presenting the concept of the political chronicle and establishing a basis for the analysis of the following two chapters. I focus specifically on the techniques and literary strategies employed by two Latin American authors, Rodolfo Walsh (1927-1977), from Argentina, and Carlos Monsiváis (1938-2010), from Mexico, in their political chronicles. In this study, I explore how the chronicle, a very elusive and hard to define literary genre on the rise in South America, has been used to try to effect a political change or at least have a political effect. The relationship between politics and literature has always been problematic and filled with tension. ![]() |
