Agatha Christie no lo contó todo sobre sus famosos crímenes. Una fascinante exploración del contenido de los cuadernos de notas de Agatha Christie recientemente descubiertos, que incluyen ilustraciones, extractos eliminados y dos relatos inéditos de Poirot. Tras la muerte de la hija de Agatha, Rosalind, a finales de 2004, se reveló un extraordinario legado. Entre sus objetos personales de la residencia familiar de Greenway se desenterraron los cuadernos privados de Agatha Christie, 73 volúmenes escritos a mano que habían permanecido en gran parte ignorados, probablemente debido a que la inconfundible caligrafía de Agatha era muy dificultosa de leer. Pero cuando el archivero John Curran comenzó a descifrar los cuadernos, se hizo evidente la magnitud de este tesoro escondido# «Esta edición es un lujo inexcusable para todos los amantes de la literatura de detectives en general y de la de Agatha Christie en particular.» David Torres, El Cultural
El lector que decida emprender este exquisito paseo literario hallará en esta guía del viajero pistas y sugerencias para recorrer los parajes que inspiraron la vida y la obra de la inmortal autora que acercó el suspense a varias generaciones.
For the first time, a comparative study has been published regarding the 11 film and TV verasions of Agatha Christie's Ten Little Indians. Complete cast listings, running times, directorial credits and story synopses are included, along with numerous photographs. After each production, a biography section is included on all the actors who appeared in the films. Details of their lives and careers are provided, along with pictures from their other films.
This book, which I call The Other Films of Agatha Christie, is a collection of films made for TV and the cinema which do not deal with films including the characters of Miss Jane Marple and Hercule Poirot. These films and characters can be found in books I have previously written, called The Films of Hercule Poirot, and The Films of Miss Marple. I have also written a book entitled Agatha Christie?s Ten Little Indians on Film and TV, which compares the nearly dozen filmed versions of that novel.Herewith, we will find films that are NOT included in the above mentioned works. They include well-known film like Witness for the Prosecution, Endless Night, Ordeal By Innocence, and films and TV featuring the characters of Tommy and Tuppence. Also included is a 1982 television series called The Agatha Christie Hour, which dealt with short stories Christie wrote. These are psychological dramas, ghost stories and the like; many of them have no murders.There are more than 50 films included, with complete cast lists, story synopses, and photographs. I have also included several documentary films, as well as some relative
