Partners in Crime Agatha Christie About the Author Dame Agatha Christie (15 September 1890 12 January 1976) is the most widely published author of all time. In a career that spanned more than fifty years, Christie wrote eighty novels and short-story collections, nineteen plays and five nonfiction books, including her autobiography. Her most popular characters are the ingenious Belgian Hercule Poirot and Miss Jane Marple. She achieved Britain's highest honor when she was made a Dame of the British Empire. 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 star
He visited Egypt, Germany and India with the classicist Goldsworthy Lowes Dickinson in 1914. Forster spent a second spell in India in the early 1920s as the private secretary to the Maharajah of Dewas. The Hill of Devi is his non-fictional account of this trip. While living at the court, Forster has the first ongoing sexual relationship of his life, with Kanaya, a young boy who serves him also as barber. Forster had a happy personal relationship, beginning in the early 1930s, with Bob Buckingham, a constable in the London Metropolitan Police. After the death of his mother, Forster accepted an honorary fellowship at King's College, Cambridge and lived for the most part in the college, doing relatively little. In 1969 he was made a member of the Order of Merit. Forster died in Coventry the following year at the age of 91, at the home of the Buckinghams.

Her poems influenced lots of people with their fresh style and deep and painful content. These made people think about depths of life. Next writer I am going to talk about is Elisabeth Aspe. She lived in 1860-1927. She was an early realist, back at that time most people wrote about different things. Critics have said that her works were very interesting in many different ways. Her first well-known novel was Stepsister, it's a story about an orphan girl's fate. She describes beginning of the urbanization process a lot. Also, she was one of the first woman writers in Estonia. She wrote about city a lot. You would think that it's just a city, but actually for her it was so much more. For her it was a future vision and she used to word city in more ways than you could ever imagine. She was a little sentimental, wrote about farmers, sailors and citizens life. Thanks to her creation we can learn about Estonia's life and early years of urbanization a lot.
Fay Weldon an English author, essayist and playwright Early life § Fay Weldon was supposed to be born in New Zealand, but instead was born in England in 1931. At 5 weeks old she and her mother returned to New Zealand. § Her father was a doctor and her mother was a writer of commercial fiction under the pen name "Pearl Bellairs", among others. Her parents divorced when she was five. She lived with her mother, sister and grandmother until she started college and, as a result, grew up believing "the world was peopled by females". This problably influenced her works too. § She returned to England with her mother and studied economics and psychology at the University of St Andrews in Scotland. § Her actual christened name was "Franklin Birkinshaw". which she feels contributed to her being accepted at St Andrews and permitted to study economics: the school assumed she was a male student applicant. Early life ?
control and stoicism is arguably Kipling's most famous poem. Many have wondered why he was never made Poet Laureate. (A poet laureate is a poet officially appointed by a government and is often expected to compose poems for State occasions and other government events. In the United Kingdom the term has for centuries been the title of the official poet of the monarch, since the time of Charles II )Some claim that he was offered the post during the interregnum of 1892-96 and turned it down. At the beginning of World War I, like many other writers, Kipling wrote pamphlets which enthusiastically supported the UK's war aims. Death and legacy Kipling kept writing until the early 1930s, but at a slower pace and with much less success than before. He died of a perforated duodenal ulcer ( perforeeritud kaksteistsõrmiksoole haavand ) on 18 January 1936, two days before George V, at the age of 70. His death had in fact previously been incorrectly
The Moving Finger Agatha Christie The Moving Finger Agatha Christie Plot summary: Brother and sister Jerry and Joanna Burton bought a country house in an idyllic English town called Lymstock so that Jerry could recover from injuries received in a wartime plane crash. They had been living in London their whole life and thus were excited but intimidated to go. Lymstock was much like any other English village, no more than 300 people. Those that live there enjoy the peace of rural life and form a union to where it can be difficult for strangers to blend in. Fortunately, it wasn't much of a problem for Jerry and Joanna. They were just getting to know the town's strange members and their characters when an anonymous letter arrived, accusing the tw
