Hungry Mountain
29.99 €
A gripping family saga by the English writer Daphne Dumorier (1907-1989), whose books have become classics of the Gothic tradition in 20th century literature. A master of subtle psychological portraiture and virtuoso of intrigue, Dumorier, like no one else, can keep the reader in suspense. Not without reason, one of the admirers of her talent was a movie director Alfred Hitchcock, who shot on her works famous movie thrillers, including "Rebecca", "The Birds", "Jamaica Inn".... The novel "Hungry Mountain" was written in 1943, the book was a success with readers and, like many works Dumorie, was soon screened. "Hungry Mountain" is based on the true story of the Irish ancestors of one of Daphne Dumorier's friends. It chronicles the lives of five generations of the Brodrick family, owners of Clonmere Castle, who owned the Hungry Mountain copper mines. The story of their rise and fall. A story of undivided power, of wealth and loneliness, of strength and powerlessness; a story of hatred and love over a hundred years.
