秘女人阿加莎·克里斯蒂 WOMAN OF MYSTERY
内容简介
很多人都喜欢读神秘的谋杀案,因为它们都是些难解之谜。侦探在书末才会把凶手的名字公布于众,而在此之前我们能否猜出凶手的名字呢?摔坏的椅子只是一次意外,还是一条重要线索呢?凶手是如何进入房子的呢?他或她难道有钥匙吗?桌子上为何有三个咖啡杯?
阿加莎·克里斯蒂写的神秘谋杀案世界闻名。她一共写过70多本书,销售量达千万册。她的小说还被拍成了多部电视剧和电影。她笔下的侦探,赫尔克里·波洛和马普尔小姐,也都大名鼎鼎——一个是身材矮胖,留着黑色胡子的比利时人,一个是身材矮小却非常可爱的老太太,她会看见、听到并且记住一切。
这本书写的就是阿加莎·克里斯蒂的生活。她是怎样的一个人?我们对她的了解有多深?她富有,赫赫有名,有过两次婚姻。而在她的生活中也有一个未解之谜…

后来的25年里,马克斯每次的考古之旅都有阿加莎陪伴。她喜欢旅行,那些年是她一生中最快乐的时光,同样也是写作的一段黄金时间。

-

“多么美好宁静啊,”阿加莎总是这样说,“没有电话!”

2
-

游览那些名胜古迹赋予她的灵感促成了她最优秀的几本书的创作——《尼罗河上的惨案》、《死亡约会》、《美索不达米亚谋杀案》和《他们来到巴格达》。她成为世界上最受欢迎的侦探小说家之一。

-

她众多的忠实读者之一便是英国国王的母亲,玛丽王后。1946年的一天,阿加莎接到了伦敦英国广播公司的一封信。

4
-

“他们想让我为玛丽王后的80岁生日写一个剧本!”她告诉马克斯,“一个广播剧。”

5
-

“那你必须写了。”马克斯说。

6
-

阿加莎的广播剧名叫《三只盲鼠》。后来她又为伦敦一家剧院改写了这个剧本,把它的时间加长了很多,并且取了一个新名字:《老鼠夹》。

7
-

这个剧本非常有名。它于1952年开演,从那以后总有一家或几家伦敦剧院里在上演这部剧。1997年,在它首演45年后,人们依然去看这部剧。

8
-

为什么呢?当然这是一个写得很好的神秘谋杀案,可是关于《老鼠夹》这部剧还有另外一个故事。每晚,在剧末都会有一个演员对剧场里的观众说:“请不要告诉您的朋友们剧中的凶手是谁。他们必须亲自来剧院观看!”

9
-

大家都保守住了凶手是谁的秘密,于是就有越来越多的人来观看这部剧了。

10
-

1971年,伊丽莎白女王册封阿加莎为英国女爵士——一个对英国女人来说非常高的荣誉。

11
-

但是阿加莎·克里斯蒂的名气为什么这么大呢?可能因为她是一名很棒的小说家。她总是这一条线索、那一条线索地非常巧妙地布置这些神秘的谋杀案,并且这些线索都极其隐秘,所以不易猜出凶手是谁。我们想知道是谁干的,却一直要到书末,一切都水落石出的时候,才能找到答案。当然这些故事不只是关于谋杀和死亡——它们是一些谜团,有着令人满意的结局,因为人们总是很高兴看到侦探能抓获罪犯。就在那么一两个小时里,我们可以暂时逃离既不井井有条又不让人满意的现实生活。

阿加莎·克里斯蒂于1976年1月12日去世。她一生中写过67部侦探小说,10本短篇小说集,13个剧本,6部非犯罪题材的小说(以“玛丽·韦斯特马科特”这个名字出版的),还有两部自传。她的书被拍成多部电影,最著名的是1974年拍摄的《东方快车谋杀案》。

13
-

如今,她的书被译成40多种不同的文字,从中国到尼加拉瓜,在世界上每一个国家都可以买得到,销售量达千百万册。阿加莎·克里斯蒂或许将永远是一位侦探小说巨匠——一个在书中、生活中同样神秘的女人。

For the next twenty-five years, Agatha went with Max on all his archaeological journeys. She loved travelling, and those were the happiest years of her life. It was a good time for writing, too.

Agatha’s play for radio was called Three Blind Mice. Later, she wrote the play again, for a London theatre. This time it was much longer, and she gave it a new name: The Mousetrap.

It is a very famous play. It opened in 1952, and has been in one or other of the London theatres ever since then. In 1997, 45 years later, people were still going to see the play.

Why? It’s a very good murder mystery, of course, but there is another story about The Mousetrap, too. Every night, at the end of the play, one of the actors talks to the people in the theatre, and says, ’Please don’t tell your friends who did the murder in this play. They must come to the theatre and see the play themselves!’

And everybody keeps the secret of the murderer’s name—and so more and more people go to see the play.

But why was Agatha Christie so famous? Perhaps it is because she was a wonderful story-teller. She planned her murder mysteries very carefully, putting a clue here, a clue there. And they are clever clues, so it is not easy to guess the name of the murderer. Who did it? We want to know, and by the end of the book, everything falls tidily into place—and we have the answer. And of course the stories are not really about murder and death—they are puzzles, with comfortable endings, because it is pleasing to read that the detective always catches the criminal. For an hour or two, we can escape from real life, which is often neither tidy nor comfortable.

Today, millions of her books, in more than forty different languages, are still sold in every country of the world, from China to Nicaragua. Agatha Christie was, perhaps, the greatest detective-story writer of all time—a woman of mystery, both in books and in life.
