内容简介
All 51 Hercule Poirot short stories presented in chonological order in a single volume - plus a bonus story not seen for more than 70 years. 'My name is Hercule Poirot and I am probably the greatest detective in the world.' The dapper, moustache-twirling little Belgian with the egg-shaped head, curious mannerisms and inordinate respect for his own 'little grey cells' has solved some of the most puzzling crimes of the century. Appearing in Agatha Christie's very first novel in 1920 and her very last in 1975, Hercule Poirot became the most celebrated detective since Sherlock Holmes, appearing in 33 novels, a play, and these 51 short stories. Arranged in their original publication order, these short stories provide a feast for hardened Agatha Christie addicts as well as those who have grown to love the detective through his many film and television appearances. This new edition now also includes Poirot and the Regatta Mystery, an early version of an Agatha Christie story not published since 1936!
作者简介
Agatha Christie was born in 1890 and created the detective Hercule Poirot in her debut novel, The Mysterious Affair at Styles (1920). She achieved wide popularity with The Murder of Roger Ackroyd (1926) and produced a total of eighty novels and short-story collections over six decades.
阿加莎·克里斯蒂被誉为举世公认的侦探推理小说女王。她的著作英文版销售量逾10亿册,而且还被译成百余种文字,销售量亦逾10亿册。她一生创作了80部侦探小说和短篇故事集,19部剧本,以及6部以玛丽·维斯特麦考特的笔名出版的小说。著作数量之丰仅次于莎士比亚。
阿加莎·克里斯蒂的第一部小说《斯泰尔斯庄园奇案》写于第一次世界大战末,战时她担任志愿救护队员。在这部小说中她塑造了一个可爱的小个子比利时侦探赫尔克里·波格,成为继福尔摩斯之后侦探小说中最受读者欢迎的侦探形象。1926年,阿加莎·克里斯蒂写出了自己的成名作《罗杰疑案》(又译作《罗杰·艾克罗伊德谋杀案》)。1952年她最著名的剧本《捕鼠器》被搬上舞台,此后连续上演,时间之长久,创下了世界戏剧史上空前的纪录。
1971年,阿加莎·克里斯蒂得英国女王册封的女爵士封号。1975年,英格丽·褒曼凭借根据阿加莎同名小说《东方快车谋杀案》改编的影片获得了第三座奥斯卡奖杯。阿加莎数以亿计的仰慕者中不乏显赫的人物,其中包括女王伊丽莎白二世和法国总统戴高乐。
1976年,她以85岁高龄永别了热爱她的人们。
