Description

Daphne du Maurier is an amazing writer. In her stories, a detective plot is harmoniously intertwined with mysticism; everyday scenes are accompanied by colorful descriptions of nature; and there is a fast-paced melodrama with ironic, filled with cutting pathos satire. Her characters are always in tense, critical situations that demand action, a deed. These magnificent examples of the short-genre are topped by the legendary “The Birds”—brought to film by Alfred Hitchcock—and became the most famous film in which elements of a thriller, a horror film, and classic melodrama are combined.
