The mysterious affair at styles summary The Mysterious Affair at Styles, published in 1920, is Agatha Christie's first novel. In it Agatha introduces her world-famous Belgian detective, Hercule Poirot. The story begins when Captain Hastings, recovering(taastama) from wounds he suffered during the World War I, runs into an old friend, John Cavendish. Hastings is invited down to Styles, where Cavendish lives, to recuperate. At Styles, the center of attention is Emily Inglethorp, John Cavendish's stepmother. Emily inherited Styles from John's father when he died and runs the household with a firm hand. Hastings describes her as "an energetic, autocratic personality" with a fondness for "playing the Lady Bountiful." She is devoted to charitable causes and is always getting involved(haaratud) in bazaars and other functions. Emily hasn't changed since Hastings last saw her, and there is no question of who is
both of blood and in-law. But who exactly is dead, and who isn't? And who is what they seem, and who isn't? Compulsive reworking of Tennysonian and Christiean themes, and pretty high up in the range of classic titles.

The Book This book is a short-story collection about two characters who are not as popular as Poirot or Miss Marple. They are Tommy and Tuppence Beresford, a married couple. Tommy works for some kind of a agency which tells them to run a detective agency to catch a Russian spy. Tuppence was delighted because before that she was very bored and she had nothing to do. Before catching the spy they start working as real detectives. They are pretty good at solving mysterious cases because they are great fans of detective novels. Tommy and Tuppence like to role play. Every time they have a costumer they parody all kinds of famous fictional detectives from Dr Thorndyke to Hercule Poirot. Tommy is Poirot in the last chapter when he catches the spy. All mini stories were great but my favourite one was called The Unbreakable Alibi. A man comes to them with a request to outsmart his future wife. The woman had

Topic Libraries Tallinn English College 8b form 2007 1. Introduction A library is a collection of books. Libraries are maintained by a public body such as an institution or an individual. These collections are used by people who choose not to (or cannot afford) purchase an extensive collection themselves or who need professional assistance with their research. However, with the collection of media other than books, many libraries are now also access points for maps, prints or other documents and artworks such as microfilm, audio tapes, CDs, cassettes and DVDs. So, modern libraries are being redifined as places to get access to information in many formats and from many sources. In addition to providing materials, they also provide the services of specialists who are experts in matters related to finding and organizing information, called librarians. 2. History The f
