"The Hungry Mountain" by Daphne Du Maurier. The Hungry Mountain Daphne du Maurier The Hungry Mountain

A fascinating family saga by the English writer Daphne Du Maurier (1907–1989), whose books have become classics of the Gothic tradition in 20th-century literature. A master of a subtle psychological portrait and a virtuoso of intrigue, Du Maurier, like no one else, knows how to keep the reader in suspense. It is not for nothing that one of the admirers of her talent was film director Alfred Hitchcock, who based famous film thrillers on her works, including “Rebecca”, “The Birds”, “Jamaica Inn”... The novel “Hungry Mountain” was written in 1943; the book was a success among readers and, like many of Du Maurier’s works, was soon filmed. The Hungry Mountain is based on the true story of the Irish ancestors of one of Daphne Du Maurier's friends, Christopher Puxley. This is a chronicle of the life of five generations of the Brodrick family, owners of Clonmere Castle, who owned the copper mines of Hungry Mountain. The story of their rise and fall. The story of undivided power, wealth and loneliness, strength and powerlessness; a hundred-year-long story of hatred and love.
