"Rebecca", "My Cousin Rachel", "The Birds"... The works of the English writer Daphne du Maurier (1907-1989) are popular with readers all over the world. Du Maurier's unusual and sometimes fantastic plots are always distinguished by a kind of "credibility of the incredible". In the novel "The Scapegoat" (1957), presented in this edition, the story of a strange meeting of an Englishman John, traveling through France, with his... double, a Frenchman Jean, the owner of an ancient castle, as well as a glass factory on the verge of ruin, is told with virtuoso psychological accuracy. In the novel "Rule, Britannia!" (1972), which is sometimes called "prophetic", the plot is also very unusual. The action takes place in a small Cornish estate and is set in the near future, at a time when Great Britain, having quarreled with Europe, enters into an alliance with the United States. Daphne du Maurier writes about the unexpected consequences of this friendship with all the brilliance of her literary gift and the power of her “Gothic imagination.”
