House on the shore

"The House on the Beach" is one of the latest novels by the English writer Daphne Du Maurier, whose name is known all over the world.

In exchange for hospitality, Magnus asks Dick to experience the effects of the “elixir” he created, which, as the professor assures, has the very unusual property of connecting the past and the future. The other world into which Dick plunges turns out to be much more real than the life he has led so far...
