Agatha Christy

Agatha Christie (1890-1976), nee Miller, full name Agatha Christie Mary Knarissa Miller. She was born in Torquay, Devon, England, to a British-American father and an English mother. When she was 11 years old, her father passed away due to illness. The cultural quality she acquired came entirely from her mother's education. Her mother is an open-minded woman who likes literature very much. She keeps her daughter by her side, often talks to her about world literary masterpieces, and helps her daughter absorb the nutrients of literature. According to Agatha Christie's later recollection: "I first read Dickens's novels, and it was Dickens who nurtured me. Dickens played a big role in my love of writing. "Hard Times" was the most popular novel of my teenage years. My favorite books, I also like Austen's works, and my least favorite writer is Thackeray. "In Britain at that time, girls rarely had the opportunity to go to school, and the improvement of literary literacy was due to Agatha Christie. read.

Christie studied music in Paris when she was young, but her interest in literature eventually led her to give up her career as a singer. When she was 24 years old. Married Colonel Archibald Christie. During the First World War, she joined the Red Cross Volunteer Corps and engaged in rescue work. She had the opportunity to come into contact with and understand the medicinal properties of various poisons, which laid the foundation for the use of medicinal properties in future novels. After returning from the front line, she began her writing life. In fact, when she was a teenager, she was encouraged by her mother to write a short story. Although it was not published, it aroused her desire to create. She once made a bet with her sister that she would "grow up to be an excellent novelist." Christie's earliest creations were poems, and he also wrote a play, a play about incest, and later a novel. The plot of what she initially wrote was dull, and she didn't want to read it a second time. After groping for several years, she read and wrote at the same time, and gradually fell in love with detective novels. It was Conan Doyle's detective novels that opened her mind and horizons, and Sherlock Holmes became the hero in her heart. She imitated Conan Doyle's writing style and wrote her first detective novel "The Mysterious Case at Styles Manor" when she was 30 years old.

In "The Mysterious Case at Styles Manor", Christie created a detective, an artistic model whose appearance and personality are completely different from Sherlock Holmes - Poirot. Poirot is a Belgian, short, with a curving beard, unattractive appearance, special mysophobia, and many "little gray cells" in his head - the so-called reasoning factors. According to Christie's own account, Poirot was modeled after a Belgian homeless man from her hometown. Holmes is good at fighting, but Poirot doesn't know martial arts. He relies on his brain to solve crimes. Next to Holmes is Dr. Watson as his assistant, and as a foil to Pogue is a tall Captain Hastings. Hastings's way of thinking is always half a beat slower than Poirot's, which shows Poirot's keen judgment. The two work very well together, and this pair is very dramatic.

Initially, "The Mysterious Case at Stiles Manor" had the same fate as "A Study in Scarlet". Publishers had no interest in the novel and it was rejected by six publishing houses. One publisher left a manuscript in a drawer for nine months, which made Christie frown. The book was finally published by John Lane Press in 1920, with 2,000 copies printed, and the royalties were the same as A Study in Scarlet, only ￡25.

But the publication of this novel gave Christie a shot of stimulant. She wrote five or six more detective novels, two of which still featured Poirot as the protagonist, and did not cause a sensation after being published. The other novel "The Man in Brown" was well received after it was published, but the great detective Poirot did not appear in the book. Luo. In 1926, Christie wrote "The Murder of Roger Arklow" (also translated as "The Murder of Roger Arklow") and became famous in one fell swoop. This novel tells the story of a wealthy gentleman in rural England who had his throat cut and died in his study. The reporter asked Poirot to investigate the case. Christie used a new narrative method to narrate this tortuous and confusing case in the novel, thus gaining popularity among British readers. Agatha Christie became a household name and a popular writer overnight.

In the days when Christie's work became popular, some strange things happened in her personal life.

First, the death of her mother, and then her husband, Colonel Archibald Christie, took a lover named Tisha Neal and decided to divorce her. These two events dealt a huge blow to her and changed her life. cast a shadow. Christie suddenly disappeared, and the British police dispatched 500 detectives, police dogs, and airplanes to conduct a large-scale search in the bush. The radio station also reported the mysterious disappearance of the popular British female writer Christie, which also attracted the attention of Conan Doyle. Conan Doyle also participated in the investigation and predicted: "Christie will never commit suicide. I believe she will appear in front of the majority of readers within a month." Sure enough, on the 12th day after her disappearance, the police finally found her at the Harrow Gate Hotel, a famous tourist resort. Christie's pseudonym at the time was "Tisha Neal" (the name of her husband's lover). Agatha Christie later explained that this was because she was suffering from amnesia at the time. After half a year of recuperation, she recovered.

In 1928, Agatha Christie officially divorced her husband, ending her 14-year marriage, but she still used the pseudonym Christie when writing. Two years later, she met Professor Max Mallowan, who was younger than her, during an archaeological activity. The two fell in love at first sight and soon got married. After they got married, they often went to the Middle East to inspect historical sites. This marriage stabilized Christie's mood; the romantic travel also provided a lot of material for the female writer to write exotic detective novels. For example, "Cat among Pigeons" and so on use this as the background.

According to Agatha Christie's self-report: "The second marriage was quite happy. It not only gave me confidence in life, but also made me devote my whole body and mind to writing." Soon , she wrote "Murder in the Parsonage", "Murder on the Orient Express", "Tragedy on the Nile", "Ten Little Blacks" (also translated as "No Survival"), "The Capture", which shocked the world of literature. "Mouse Machine", "Silent Witness", "Curtain" and other works. Each work has aroused enthusiastic welcome from readers. The character Poirot in the book has become the second world-class detective after Sherlock Holmes.

Christie’s writing speed is amazing. Although she is not good at typing on a typewriter (she can only type with three fingers), she wrote a 200,000-word novel in only two months. She likes to lie in the bathtub and eat apples while imagining novels. Once the idea is mature, she writes quickly. She said: "My first step in writing a book is to conceive the framework of the story. This has been worrying me until I write it out." She wrote 70 detective novels in her life, as well as 14 screenplays and 20 short stories, as well as 6 romance novels and 2 children's books. It can be said that he is a prolific and high-quality writer. Her literary status in Britain greatly exceeds that of Conan Doyle. At the age of 66, she was awarded the Order of the British Empire and an honorary Doctor of Letters from the University of Exeter. French President de Gaulle calls himself a "Christie fan" and Queen Mary of England also regards reading Agatha Christie's novels as one of her best enjoyments. On Queen Mary's 80th birthday, the British BBC radio station congratulated the Queen. A reporter asked the Queen what her favorite programs were, and Queen Mary designated the works of Agatha Christie to be broadcast. The awards and encouragement from the upper class have greatly increased Agatha Christie's popularity. Her famous detective drama "The Mousetrap" has been performed on the British stage for 30 years, setting a record for the longest-lasting performance in the history of drama. Her works have been translated into 103 languages ??and published in 157 countries. According to statistics in 1988, the total number of copies printed reached 400 million, making it the best-selling book in the world, and ranked among the top three best-selling books in the world along with the Bible and Shakespeare's Drama Collection.

In 1975, Agatha Christie wrote her last novel "Act", in which the great detective Poirot died in the book, which amazed many readers. On January 12 of the following year, Agatha Christie died peacefully in Wallingford, England. She lived to be 85 years old. Her second husband, Professor Mallowan, was knighted for his academic achievements, for which Christie also became a knight. But she herself was awarded the title of Dame in 1971. Due to her achievements in writing detective novels, she was admitted as a member of the Royal Society of Literature, and was later crowned "Queen of Detectives" by the Queen of England. These honors exceed those received by Conan Doyle during his lifetime, and his reputation is as great as that of any purely literary novelist in Britain of his time.

She recalled her writing career in her later years and wrote an autobiography.

"The Autobiography of Agatha Christie" is a very beautifully written piece of biographical literature. The autobiography provides readers with first-hand information about the life of this "Queen of Detectives" and has become an important document in the history of detective novels. Her life story has been made into the biopic "Agatha". She became a master of detective novels in the British and even world literary circles.
