The works of the English writer Daphne Du Maurier (1907-1989) have been translated into dozens of languages and are popular with readers all over the world. The first great success was brought to the author by the novel "Jamaica Inn". Today, this book is considered a classic of the Gothic tradition in the literature of the XX century, and the heroine Mary Yellan is compared to Jane Eyre. Impressions of her beloved Cornwall, where Daphne Du Maurier spent most of her life, largely determined the fascinating atmosphere of Jamaica. The plot of the novel 'My Cousin Rachel' also unfolds against the backdrop of the mysterious landscapes of Cornwall. According to critics, this book is not inferior to the famous "Rebecca", and in some ways surpasses her. The main character - the mysterious, incomprehensible Rachel - is one of the most memorable images in English literature. Unusual, and sometimes fantastic plots of Du Maurier are always distinguished by a kind of 'authenticity of the incredible'. In the novel 'The scapegoat', also presented in this edition, tells with masterly psychological accuracy the story of a strange meeting of an Englishman John, traveling in France, with his own... a double, the owner of a glass factory and the owner of an old castle.
