Description

Daphne Du Maurier's The House on the Strand is a thought-provoking novel about the power of science and the human experience. When Dick Young is lent a house in Cornwall by his friend Professor Magnus Lane, he agrees to serve as a guinea pig for a new drug that has the unexpected effect of transporting him from the present day to the Cornwall of the 14th century.

This unusual phenomenon sets Dick on a journey of discovery, as he navigates the challenges of living in a bygone era and grapples with the implications of his new surroundings. As he struggles to reconcile his modern life with his new reality, Dick must confront the complexities of human nature and the consequences of scientific progress.

A gripping and introspective tale, The House on the Strand is a compelling exploration of the human condition, one that raises important questions about the relationship between science, technology, and our understanding of the world around us.
