Agatha christie's works

Brief introduction of the author

Agatha christie (1890- 1976) was born in Devon, England. Christie lost his father in his early years and had no formal education as a child. She relies on her mother's guidance and self-study to enrich herself. At the age of 24 (19 14), Kristi, whose original name was Agatha Mary Kenalisha Miller, married ArchibaldChristie, an officer of the Royal Air Force, and later changed her husband's surname. During the First World War, she joined a medical institution as a nurse, and had the opportunity to get in touch with and understand the medicinal properties of various poisons, which laid the foundation for the application of medicinal properties in future novels. During this period, she often read detective stories with her sister Maggie and discussed the layout and plot together, which aroused her interest in writing and wrote her first detective novel, The Mystery of stiles. But it was rejected by many publishers at that time (as in Conan Doyle's case), and the book was finally published as 1920. This time, Christie's married life is not smooth. 1926, under the double blow of discovering her husband's extramarital affairs and her mother's death, she disappeared mysteriously for a time. 1928, this marriage ended after 14 years. In order to heal the pain of marriage change, I traveled overseas alone. Her experience in West Asia (Turkey, Egypt, etc.). ) for her "Murder on the Orient Express", "The Massacre on the Nile" and other famous works to provide material. 1930, when I was traveling in Asia Minor, I met the archaeologist MaxMallowan and got married in September of the same year. Since then, my husband has been accompanying me to archaeology in North Africa, and my married life has been very smooth. After remarriage, Christie continued her literary creation under the pen name of her ex-husband. 1976 1 month 12, Christie died.

About the work

There are different opinions about the number of Christie's detective novels. This paper uses the materials used by Mr. Huang Junhao in the article "The Queen of Detective Stories-agatha christie" in the 60th issue of Inference magazine. There are 66 novels and 20 short stories (with repetition). Among the famous figures, hercule poirot and Miss Jane Ma Puer are the most famous, and Tommy and Tupenez are also the protagonists of several novels. If the characters are vivid and human, it seems that they must be born out of real life, and so are Bai Luo and Ma Bo. Bai Luo, based on his neighbor, a Belgian refugee who fled the war. The appearance and manners of foreign neighbors have shaped Bai Luo's special style. But when Bai Luo's investigation began to accumulate over time, Christie obviously realized that Bai Luo's age was too old from the beginning, and Bai Luo was obviously unlikely to be active in his works for too long. So starting from 1930, Christie also took an old lady who often drinks tea and chats with her mother as the prototype, and set another protagonist with a different style-Miss Ma Puer. In Christie's novels, it can almost be said that these two famous detectives are completely in this world. Just like Conan Doyle, Christie ended the detective Bai Luo in 1975' s The Curtain. It's a pity that Bailuo was not so lucky as Holmes, because Christie followed in Bailuo's footsteps and died the next year.

Because Christie's works are really many, and some styles are very special, and some are not particularly outstanding. Therefore, whether you will become a loyal reader of Christie is obviously very important when you get started. The following are some statistics for beginners' reference.

◎ Christie's top nine works are:

26.6.40. 14.34.58.39.50.33.

◎ According to the survey of 197 1 year, the top ten opinions of general readers are:

26.6.40. 18. 14.22.44.34. 1.29.

◎ Readers who have read more than 60 books think that the first nine books are the best:

26.40.6.22 . 18.44.29.34.59.

In addition to novels, the domestic Wenzhi Publishing House also translated the collection of short stories The Adventures of Herakles. It's 12 detective stories by Bai Luo, which are slightly similar to Sherlock Holmes' detective short stories and worth reading.

In addition, because the content of Christie's works is always filled with the leisurely atmosphere of the English countryside (which may be related to her husband's life away from the world after his second marriage), the rhythm of the plot is usually slow, and her works often pay attention to subtle interpersonal relationships and exquisite dialogues, so some readers may find it difficult to accept Christie's works at first. As far as the author's personal experience is concerned, it is suggested that when reading Kirchner's works, it is best to find a more leisurely time and situation to relax himself and enjoy the world he has constructed more easily.
