The Mysterious Affair at Styles: Hercule Poirot Mysteries

Autor Agatha Christie
en Limba Engleză Paperback – iun 2006
Agatha Christie (1890-1976) was an English writer known for her 66 detective novels and 14 short story collections, particularly those featuring her fictional detectives Hercule Poirot and Miss Marple. She also wrote the world's longest-running play, a murder mystery entitled The Mousetrap. In 1971 she was appointed a Dame Commander of the Order of the British Empire (DBE) for her contribution to literature. After repeated rejections of her first attempt at fiction, she achieved success with the publication of The Mysterious Affair at Styles, her first Poirot mystery, in 1920. Christie began writing the novel in 1916 and the character of Poirot was inspired by her experience as a volunteer nurse ministering to Belgian soldiers during WWI and by the Belgian refugees living in her hometown of Torquay in Devon. Decades later, when Christie told the story of Poirot's final case in Curtain, she set that novel at Styles. She and her first husband also gave that name to their house in Sunningdale. Christie's second novel introduced the detective couple Tommy and Tuppence in The Secret Adversary (1922), and this was followed by a second Poirot mystery, Murder on the Links (1923). Miss Marple first appeared in The Murder at the Vicarage (1930) and, like Poirot, she featured in many further novels and stories. Many of Christie's works, particularly those featuring her most famous characters, have been adapted for film and TV.

Notă biografică

Dame Agatha Mary Clarissa Christie, (15 September 1890 - 12 January 1976) was an English writer. She is known for her 66 detective novels and 14 short story collections, particularly those revolving around her fictional detectives Hercule Poirot and Miss Marple. Christie also wrote the world's longest-running play, a murder mystery, The Mousetrap, and, under the pen name Mary Westmacott, six romances. In 1971 she was appointed a Dame Commander of the Order of the British Empire for her contribution to literature. Christie was born into a wealthy upper-middle-class family in Torquay, Devon. Before marrying and starting a family in London, she had served in a Devon hospital during the First World War, tending to troops coming back from the trenches. During the Second World War, she worked as a pharmacy assistant at University College Hospital, London, acquiring a good knowledge of poisons which feature in many of her novels. Guinness World Records lists Christie as the best-selling novelist of all time. Her novels have sold roughly 2 billion copies, and her estate claims that her works come third in the rankings of the world's most-widely published books, behind only Shakespeare's works and the Bible. She remains the most-translated individual author, having been translated into at least 103 languages. In 1955, Christie was the first recipient of the Mystery Writers of America's highest honour, the Grand Master Award. Most of her books and short stories have been adapted for television, radio, video games and comics, and more than thirty feature films have been based on her work.
