Agatha Christie’s books have been published in a circulation of over two billion copies and translated into more than 100 languages of the world. According to UNESCO data published for the 100th anniversary of the writer’s birth, Agatha Christie is the most read and translated author of the 20th century. She also holds a record for the maximum number of theatrical productions of a work.
Agatha Christie. A classic of the detective genre, “the queen of detective fiction.”
The future Agatha Christie, the youngest daughter in a family of emigrants from the United States, received an unsystematic home education. She studied music a little in France. In the mid-10s of the 20th century she became a nurse, and during the First World War she worked in a hospital.
As a child, she stood out for a developed imagination combined with strong shyness. “The people I invented,” Christie wrote, “were more real to me than those around me in fact.”
It is believed that Christie turned to detective fiction because of a dispute with her older sister Midge (already showing herself as a writer). As a result, the novel “The Mysterious Affair at Styles” appeared. Christie’s first fee was 25 pounds.
So in 1920, a small Belgian named Hercule Poirot appeared in literature. Then came a pair of amateur detectives, Tuppence and Beresford. A year later came Colonel Race, then Police Inspector Battle. And ten years after Poirot’s appearance, the observant old lady Miss Marple “was born.” About 70 novels, many short stories, and plays—published in a total run of roughly half a billion copies worldwide—came from Agatha Christie’s pen. Since 1958, she was the permanent president of the English Detective Club. Queen Elizabeth granted her a noble title.
