Agatha Christie: witness for the prosecution
29.99 €
Alexander Livergant is a literary scholar, translator, editor-in-chief of the journal Foreign Literature, and professor at Russian State University. He is the author of biographies of Rudyard Kipling, Somerset Maugham, Oscar Wilde, Scott Fitzgerald, Henry Miller, Graham Greene, Virginia Woolf, and Pelem Granville Woodhouse. "Agatha Christie: Witness for the Prosecution" is a portrait of the famous, most widely read author of detective novels and short stories. Under Agatha Christie's inventive pen, the classic detective reached unprecedented heights; the solutions to the crime in her novels are always unpredictable. A long, unusually rich life, immense on the volume of creativity creator of the legendary detective Hercule Poirot and Miss Marple - it would seem a rare example of well-being. The author of the biography, based on many, including first published in Russian materials, paints a slightly different picture: it turns out that the life of the writer was full of the most unexpected turns - and sometimes resembled the "twisted" plots of her novels.
