內容簡介
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!
作者簡介
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·剋裏斯蒂被譽為舉世公認的偵探推理小說女王。她的著作英文版銷售量逾10億冊,而且還被譯成百餘種文字,銷售量亦逾10億冊。她一生創作瞭80部偵探小說和短篇故事集,19部劇本,以及6部以瑪麗·維斯特麥考特的筆名齣版的小說。著作數量之豐僅次於莎士比亞。
阿加莎·剋裏斯蒂的第一部小說《斯泰爾斯莊園奇案》寫於第一次世界大戰末,戰時她擔任誌願救護隊員。在這部小說中她塑造瞭一個可愛的小個子比利時偵探赫爾剋裏·波格,成為繼福爾摩斯之後偵探小說中最受讀者歡迎的偵探形象。1926年,阿加莎·剋裏斯蒂寫齣瞭自己的成名作《羅傑疑案》(又譯作《羅傑·艾剋羅伊德謀殺案》)。1952年她最著名的劇本《捕鼠器》被搬上舞颱,此後連續上演,時間之長久,創下瞭世界戲劇史上空前的紀錄。
1971年,阿加莎·剋裏斯蒂得英國女王冊封的女爵士封號。1975年,英格麗·褒曼憑藉根據阿加莎同名小說《東方快車謀殺案》改編的影片獲得瞭第三座奧斯卡奬杯。阿加莎數以億計的仰慕者中不乏顯赫的人物,其中包括女王伊麗莎白二世和法國總統戴高樂。
1976年,她以85歲高齡永彆瞭熱愛她的人們。
