Agatha Christie was probably the
most successful writer in history. She
wrote 78 crime novels, six romantic
novels, 150 short stories, and 19
plays. That represents two billion
books sold: more than William
Shakespeare! Her books have been
translated into 103 languages, and
her two most famous creations,
Hercule Poirot and Miss Marple,
solved hundreds of crimes.
Agatha Christie became a writer by
accident. She was bored when her
first husband was away in the First
World War. Agatha was working in a
hospital as a nurse. (It is there that
she learned all the information about
poisons that she used in her books.)
She decided to write a novel to pass
the time. She chose a detective
novel because she loved reading
them.
Hercule Poirot became one of the most
popular private detectives since
Sherlock Holmes. He is the hero of 43
Christie's crime stories. This eccentric
man with the egg-shaped head and the
passion for order amazes everyone by
his powerful intellect and his brilliant
solutions to the most complicated
crimes. He is small and round and is
always elegantly dressed. As Sherlock
Holmes has Watson, in the early
stories, Poirot has his assistant Captain
Hastings. Of course, he is not as
intelligent as Poirot, who is always
encouraging Hastings to use his 'little
grey cells'. Christie soon became bored
with Poirot, but she had to continue
writing stories about him because her
readers loved him. So, during the
Second World War, she wrote a book
called Curtain, in which Poirot dies. But
she didn't publish it until 1975.

Miss Jane Marple is another Agatha
Christie's creation. She is the heroine of 18 of
the novelist's later books.
. Miss Marple is quite old, unmarried and lives
in the typical English village of St Mary Mead.
One thing which isn't typical about the village
is the number of murders! When there is a
murder, Miss Marple investigates. She is not
a professional detective, but she has a
wonderful power of observation.
One day Agatha Christie mysteriously
disappeared. It happened in 1926.
A nation-wide search for the missing writer
was started. Newspapers published wild
stories about her disappearance — that she
had been kidnapped, that she had been
murdered, that she had run away with a
secret lover...
Eleven days later the mystery was solved.
Agatha Christie was found alive in a health
spa in Yorkshire... But to this day, nobody
knows what really happened in December,
1926.
Agatha Christie died in 1976, but her stories
are still immensely popular.

Whose translation is the best?
It was a week later. Beneath our feet was the
golden sand of the desert. The hot sun poured
down overhead. Poirot, the picture of misery,
wilted by my side. The little man was not a good
traveler. Our four days' voyage from Marseilles'"
had been one long agony to him. He had landed
at Alexandria* the wraith of his former self, even
his usual neatness had deserted him. We had
arrived in Cairo and had driven out at once to the
Mena House Hotel, right in the shadow of the
Pyramids.
The charm of Egypt had laid hold of me. Not so
Poirot. Dressed precisely the same, as in London,
he carried a small clothes-brush in his pocket and
waged an unceasing war on the dust which
accumulated on his dark apparel.
" And my boots," he wailed. "Regard them,
Hastings. My boots, of'the neat patent leather,
usually so smart and shining. See, the sand is
inside them, which is painful, and outside them,
which outrages the eyesight. Also the heat, it
causes my moustaches to become limp—but
limp!"
"Look at the Sphinx,"* I urged. "Even I can feel
the mystery and the charm it exhales,"
Poirot looked at it discontentedly.
"It has not the air happy,"* he declared.

Это было неделей позже. Под нашими футами
было золотым песком пустыни. Горячее
солнце лилось вниз наверху. Пуаро,
Изображение несчастья, вяло моей стороной.
Небольшой человек был не хорошим
путешественником. Наше четырех дневное
путешествие из Марселя'" было один длинная
агония ему. Он приземлился в Александрии*

обычная аккуратность покинула ее. Мы
прибыли в Каир и поехали от до Отеля Дома
Мена, непосредственно в тени Пирамид.
Обаяние Египта положило хранилище меня.
Так Не Пуаро Одетое точно тот же, как в
Лондоне, он понес небольшую одежную щетку
в своем кармане и вел непрерывную войну в
пыли, которая накапливалась в его темной
одежде.
" И мои ботинки," он завопил. "Считать он,
Гастингс. Мои ботинки, ' хорошей
лакированной кожи обычно такое умное и
сияющее. Смотри, песок - в них, который
болезненный, и внешний он, который
возмущает зрение. Также тепло, это вызывает
мои ус, чтобы становиться хромать-но
хромать!"
"Взгляд на Сфинкса,"* Я понудил. "Даже Я могу
почувствовать тайну и обаяние, которые он
выдыхает," Пуаро смотрел на это недовольно.
"Это имеет не воздушный счастливый "* он
объявил.
