An autobiography

Hodnocení knihy

Více o knize

Over the three decades since her death on 12 January 1976, many of Agatha Christie's readers and reviewers have maintained that her most compelling book is probably still her least well-known. Her candid Autobiography, written mainly in the 1960s, modestly overlooks her status as the best-selling novelist in history and focuses on her intriguing private life. From her childhood in the late 19th century, through two marriages and two World Wars, to her experiences as a writer and on archaeological expeditions with her second husband, Max Mallowan, Agatha shares the details of her varied life with passion and openness. In 2008, her grandson made a remarkable discovery while preparing her old house, Greenway, for public opening. A box of tape reels contained recordings of Agatha dictating her Autobiography to her typist. These recordings provide a rare glimpse of Agatha's voice and reveal her engaging storytelling style, capturing her passion in a lively and spontaneous manner.
