Zusammenfassung:Agatha Christie wrote over 100 plays, short story collections, and novels, which have been translated into 103 languages. No one has succeeded in copying her and she remains the best selling modern writer throughout the world. For all her success and renown, however, Agatha Christie was a very private person. Over the years, many have attempted to capture her personality, her motivations, and the reasons for her enduring popularity, with little notable success. Now Charles Osborne has undertaken an examination of Christie and her accomplishments through her own work. The result is a comprehensive, illustrated guide to the world of Agatha Christie, featuring authoritative information on each book's provenance and on its contemporary critical reception set against the background of the major events in the author's life. This book is illustrated with rarely seen photos and updated to include details of the publications, films and TV adaptations of her writings.
