Description
“The Hungry Mountain” is a gripping family saga by the English writer Daphne du Maurier. Her books became classics of 20th-century gothic literature thanks to her mastery of a subtle psychological portrait and a virtuoso intrigue. Film director Alfred Hitchcock was one of her admirers and made famous thriller films based on her works, such as “Rebecca,” “The Birds,” and “The Jamaica Inn.” “The Hungry Mountain” was written in 1943 and was adapted for film soon after the book’s release. It is based on a true story of Irish ancestors of one of Daphne du Maurier’s friends. The novel tells of five generations of the Brodrick family—the owners of Clonmire Castle—who possessed the copper mines of the Hungry Mountain. This is the story of their rise and fall, their absolute power, wealth and loneliness, strength and helplessness, hatred and love over one hundred years.
