Перевод:

Агата Кристи (1890–1976), 1. чьи книги известны во всем мире, была английской писательницей криминальных романов, новелл и драматургом. Часто называемая «королевой преступности», она является единственной писательницей детективов, 2. которая создала двух одинаково известных и горячо любимых персонажей — Эркюля Пуаро и мисс Марпл. Агата Кристи написала 66 детективных романов и 14 сборников рассказов, 3. которые были проданы тиражом более четырех миллиардов экземпляров — рекорд, побитый только Библией и произведениями Уильяма Шекспира. «Книга рекордов Гиннесса» признает Кристи самым продаваемым романистом за всю историю. Ее книги были переведены по меньшей мере на 103 языка.

Агата Кристи родилась в Девоне, Англия. Когда ей было 11 лет, она написала стихотворение, 4. которое было напечатано в лондонской газете. В подростковом возрасте Агата, 5. чьей страстью была музыка, училась на классического музыканта, но слишком нервничала, чтобы выступать. Во время Первой мировой войны она работала в больнице, а затем в аптеке. Вот почему во многих убийствах в ее книгах фигурирует яд.

Событие, 6. которое произошло в декабре 1926 года, вызвало настоящую бурю в прессе и изменило жизнь и личность Агаты Кристи. Женщина исчезла на одиннадцать дней и не могла вспомнить свое имя, когда ее нашли. Вскоре после этого ее первый брак, 7. который оказался несчастливым, закончился. В 1930 году Кристи снова вышла замуж. Ее второй муж был археологом, с 8. которым она много путешествовала. Поэтому действие нескольких ее романов происходит на Ближнем Востоке.

Агата Кристи также писала любовные романы и пьесы, 9. которые тоже были очень успешными. В 1971 году писательнице было присвоено звание Дамы-командора Ордена Британской империи.
