最後的解答部分太贊瞭!目前最喜歡的一本阿婆。波洛拒絕 M. Ratchett時的那句“I don't like your face"尊有性格。
評分1.Mrs Hubbard的口頭禪是my daughter,簡直不敢揣測她每次說齣這個詞的心情。 2. Miss Debenham的中間名是Hermione。3. 波洛最後做決定的時候完全輕描淡寫,哪有電影裏的戲那麼足,阿婆似乎不太care法律至高無上的地位…
評分So lucky that my English professor is also a fan of Agatha Christie! I'm doing this for my final paper. This is the first Agatha book I read and it means a lot to me.
評分幸好沒劇透,完全沒猜到!。。。不過英文小說裏總夾雜法語讀起來是什麼鬼。。,
評分2006.9.5 嗯,小時候看電影沒看懂。重新翻小說,總算明白瞭。其實Agatha寫作初期還是對布置red herrings很不老練。雖然這本書為她贏得瞭盛名,我並不覺得這本書多成熟。(也有人說她到瞭晚期,因為風格形成,很多凶手也是隱藏不住)。 Anyway, 這本書的亮點是幽默的語言。我衡量一個作者的寫作能力,都是看她的幽默感。這部小說真的是很多地方蠻爆笑的。
Agatha Christie also wrote romance novels under the pseudonym Mary Westmacott, and was occasionally published under the name Agatha Christie Mallowan.
Agatha Christie is the best-selling author of all time. She wrote eighty crime novels and story collections, fourteen plays, and several other books. Her books have sold roughly four billion copies and have been translated into 45 languages. She is the creator of the two most enduring figures in crime literature-Hercule Poirot and Miss Jane Marple-and author of The Mousetrap, the longest-running play in the history of modern theatre.
Agatha Mary Clarissa Miller was born in Torquay, Devon, England, U.K., as the youngest of three. The Millers had two other children: Margaret Frary Miller (1879–1950), called Madge, who was eleven years Agatha's senior, and Louis Montant Miller (1880–1929), called Monty, ten years older than Agatha.
During the First World War, she worked at a hospital as a nurse; later working at a hospital pharmacy, a job that influenced her work, as many of the murders in her books are carried out with poison.
On Christmas Eve 1914 Agatha married Archibald Christie, an aviator in the Royal Flying Corps. The couple had one daughter, Rosalind Hicks. They divorced in 1928, two years after Christie discovered her husband was having an affair.
Her first novel, The Mysterious Affair at Styles, came out in 1920. During this marriage, Agatha published six novels, a collection of short stories, and a number of short stories in magazines.
In late 1926, Agatha's husband, Archie, revealed that he was in love with another woman, Nancy Neele, and wanted a divorce. On 8 December 1926 the couple quarreled, and Archie Christie left their house Styles in Sunningdale, Berkshire, to spend the weekend with his mistress at Godalming, Surrey. That same evening Agatha disappeared from her home, leaving behind a letter for her secretary saying that she was going to Yorkshire. Her disappearance caused an outcry from the public, many of whom were admirers of her novels. Despite a massive manhunt, she was not found for eleven days.
In 1930, Christie married archaeologist Max Mallowan (Sir Max from 1968) after joining him in an archaeological dig. Their marriage was especially happy in the early years and remained so until Christie's death in 1976. In 1977, Mallowan married his longtime associate, Barbara Parker.
Christie frequently used familiar settings for her stories. Christie's travels with Mallowan contributed background to several of her novels set in the Middle East. Other novels (such as And Then There Were None) were set in and around Torquay, where she was born. Christie's 1934 novel Murder on the Orient Express was written in the Hotel Pera Palace in Istanbul, Turkey, the southern terminus of the railway. The hotel maintains Christie's room as a memorial to the author. The Greenway Estate in Devon, acquired by the couple as a summer residence in 1938, is now in the care of the National Trust.
Christie often stayed at Abney Hall in Cheshire, which was owned by her brother-in-law, James Watts. She based at least two of her stories on the hall: the short story The Adventure of the Christmas Pudding, which is in the story collection of the same name, and the novel After the Funeral. "Abney became Agatha's greatest inspiration for country-house life, with all the servants and grandeur which have been woven into her plots.
During the Second World War, Christie worked in the pharmacy at University College Hospital of University College, London, where she acquired a knowledge of poisons that she put to good use in her post-war crime novels.
To honour her many literary works, she was appointed Commander of the Order of the British Empire in the 1956 New Year Honours. The next year, she became the President of the Detection Club. In the 1971 New Year Honours she was promoted Dame Commande
Just after midnight, the famous Orient Express is stopped in its tracks by a snowdrift. By morning, the millionaire Samuel Ratchett lies dead in his compartment, stabbed a dozen times, his door locked from the inside. One of his fellow passengers must be the murderer.
Isolated by the storm and with a killer in their midst, detective Hercule Poirot must find the killer amongst a dozen of the dead man's enemies, before the murderer decides to strike again...
阿婆的书,无论是东方还是西方,都非常受欢迎的一个原因,除了满足推理小说的必要条件,即情节构思巧妙,出人意料却能言之有理外,身为女性作家特有的细腻,温和,善于刻划细节与心理也是重要因素。最后不能忽略的是,她虽然出身优越,生活富裕,却充满对社会各劳动阶层的尊重...
評分“柯南道尔之后最伟大的侦探小说家,是侦探文学黄金时代的开创者和集大成者,无可争议的侦探小说女王,侦探文学史上最伟大的作家之一” ——每一个开始走进推理小说世界的读者,都能多多少少看到这些与阿加莎克里斯蒂有关的赞誉之词。这也难怪,一个世纪以来,作为世界推理小说...
評分我读过的推理侦探小说极少,甚至乎可以说仅有阿婆,所以在我的记忆储备里缺乏和阿婆相互对应比较的参照物。更没有成体系的个人评价来判断何为真正好的推理小说。 但从绝对层面来说,阿婆的小说没有故弄玄虚、也没有天眼洞开,书中的侦探,就是老老实实的抽丝剥茧般的盘查、质...
評分我得承认我对于阿婆的波洛系列是没有什么“抵抗力”的,尤其是像本书这样的经典之作,虽然我已经读过贵州和人文两个版本的《东方快车谋杀案》,但是看到新星版的时候,还是要找来又读了一遍。不过我没有考据癖,更没有过目不忘的本领,所以无法说出这三个版本的异同,不过无论...
評分今日搭乘火车回家,带上此书消磨时间。候车一小时,火车上一小时。列车靠站时,读到了217页。 我猜我没有看推理小说的天分。我不擅长记下种种细节,暗语,也无热情和兴趣从中推理,甚至常常,连人物的名字都会混淆。或许是习惯了柯南的简短和相对的“明了”,这样的进展于我来...
