Summary of the life and works of Agatha Christie
Agatha Chistie’s works are among the most complex and popular pieces of literature. ... Her whole name was Agatha Mary Clarissa Miller. ... Agatha Christie married twice. Her first husband was Archibald Christie who was a fighter pilot in World War 1. ... Christie worked as a nurse while her husband was off at war. While working as a nurse, she became aquainted with many drugs, which fascinated her and also played a role in her “Graham 2" works. In 1926, her twelve year marriage to Archibald Christie (during which she gave birth to a daughter), ended. ... Some people have said that Christie faked this attack of amnesia to seek revenge on her ex-husband for having a mistress, and also to excite publicity for her up-coming books. ... She kept Christie as her surname for publicity’s sake. ... Five years before her death, Christie was given the Prestigous title of Dame Commander of the Order of the British Empire. In order to properly explain the story of Agatha Christie, I must tell about both her plays and novels. Christie used her life as the basis of many of her writings. ... Many of the works she published depicted murder by poisoning, a favorite killer of hers. Two of the main characters used in many of her works Miss Jane Marple, an elderly spinster (probably in her mid sixties) with a lot of time on her hands, and Hercule Poirot, a clever sleuth.
