Krátky popis
A fascinating exploration of the contents of Agatha Christie’s 73
recently discovered notebooks, including illustrations, deleted
extracts, and two unpublished Poirot stories.When Agatha Christie
died in 1976, aged 85, she had become the world's most popular
author. With sales of more than two billion copies worldwide, she
had achieved the impossible - more than one book every year since
the 1920s, every one a bestseller. So prolific was her output, it
was even claimed that Agatha must have a photographic memory. Was
this true? Or did she resort over those 55 years to more mundane
methods of planning her ingenious crimes?Following the death of
Agatha's daughter, Rosalind, at the end of 2004, a remarkable
legacy was revealed. Unearthed among her affairs at the family home
of Greenway were Agatha Christie's private notebooks, 73
handwritten volumes which, though known about for years, had been
largely ignored, probably because Agatha's unmistakable handwriting
was so hard to read. But when archivist John Curran began
deciphering the notebooks, the extent of this treasure trove became
apparent…This book lifts the lid on Agatha Christie's biggest
secret - how her pencilled notes, lists and drafts led to her many
successful books, plays and stories. Alternative plots, titles and
characters, deleted scenes, even her plans for the books she didn't
get to write - John Curran's investigation reveals a wealth of
unpublished material, including two complete Hercule Poirot short
stories never before published: The Incident of the Dog's Ball and
the unseen thirteenth Labour of Hercules!
