Agatha Christie was born in Devon on 15 September 1890, the daughter of Frederick and Clarissa Miller. Like many children of the times, her education took place at home and at the age of 16 she went to a school in Paris and completed her education. Among other subjects, she studied singing and the piano. She enjoyed writing; from an early age her mother encouraged her in the use of her unusual imagination. At the age of 24, Agatha married Archibald Christie, an aviator in the Royal Flying Corps. Five years later, in 1919, a daughter Rosalind was born and nine years later, in 1928, they divorced. By this time Agatha had become a writer of murder, mystery and suspense. Her first novel ‘The Mysterious Affair at Styles’ was published in 1920.

Agatha Christie married for a second time and in 1938 the family moved to Greenway House, a handsome residence on the River Dart in the West Country. In her lifetime, she wrote 66 detective stories: seventeen about Miss Marple and 40 about Hercule Poirot. Agatha also wrote plays. Over two billion copies of her books have been sold and her work has been translated into more languages than Shakespeare’s. Agatha Christie was invested as a Commander (звание Кавалердама) of the British Empire in 1971. She died on 12 January, 1976.

Перевод текста: Агата Кристи родилась в Девоне 15 сентября 1890 года, в семье Фредерика и Клариссы Миллер. Как и многие дети того времени, она получала образование дома, а в 16 лет уехала в школу в Париж и завершила образование. Среди прочих предметов она изучала пение и игру на фортепиано. Ей нравилось писать; с раннего возраста мать поощряла её развивать необыкновенное воображение. В 24 года Агата вышла замуж за Арчибальда Кристи, лётчика Королевского лётного корпуса. Пять лет спустя, в 1919 году, родилась дочь Розалинда, а ещё через девять лет, в 1928 году, супруги развелись. К тому времени Агата стала автором детективных историй, тайн и произведений с элементами саспенса. Её первый роман «Загадочное происшествие в Стайлзе» был опубликован в 1920 году.

Агата Кристи вышла замуж во второй раз, и в 1938 году семья переехала в Гринвей-хаус, красивую резиденцию на реке Дарт в Западной Англии. За свою жизнь она написала 66 детективных рассказов: семнадцать о мисс Марпл и 40 о Эркюле Пуаро. Агата также писала пьесы. Было продано более двух миллиардов экземпляров её книг, а её произведения переведены на большее количество языков, чем произведения Шекспира. В 1971 году Агата Кристи была удостоена звания командора Ордена Британской империи. Она умерла 12 января 1976 года.
