This period was the beginning of the creative path of Agatha Christie. In 1920, the first novel Christi, the "mysterious incident in Stiles" was published.

Childhood and Youth Agata
The childhood years agata passed in the estate of Eshfield in Torki. Eshfield remained in the memory of Agata with a symbol of happy childhood. "Despite the fact that my parents loved secular life, in Eshfield I had peace and the opportunity to retire," the Agat recalled many years later. The need for privacy arose in Agatha very early: already at four years of the company's peers, she preferred the Society of Yorkshire Terrier Tony, conversations with a nanny and a family of kittens created by her rich imagination.
She was considered a girl not too intelligent. But it did not affect parental love for her daughter. Mom and dad were forced to state: unlike the brother Monti and sisters Maja - the living, energetic, never climbing the word in his pocket, - a little agate just did that he was lost, confused and stumbled.
Did not shine agate and study. However, at that time, studies for the girl seemed to be quite abstract, and even attending school there was no need. The young age from the youngsters was prepared exclusively to successful marriage, they were taught with needlework, music, dancing. However, the literate letter was given to the attention then: to successfully answer the gallant message of the future cavalier - not a joke. So, with grammar from Agata had problems always. And until the very end of his days, becoming a great writer, now and then allowed gross grammatical errors.
Agatha completely ignored toys who were purchased by their parents, could roll an old hoop on the garden paths.Later, Agata Christie remembered these games so:
"Reflecting that he gave me the greatest pleasure in childhood, I tend to the belief that the solid championship belonged to the hoop, this very simple toy that cost ... How much? Six pence? Shilling? No more. And what is the invaluable relief for parents, nanny and servants! In the street the day of Agata goes to the garden to play with the hoop, and everyone can be completely calm and free, right up to the next meal, or, more precisely, until the moment when it gives himself to know the famine.
The hoop in turn turned into a horse, the sea monster and the railway. Chasing the hoop on the garden paths, I became the wandering knight in the armor, then the court lady riding on the white horse, the clover (from the "kittens"), who escape from prison, or a somewhat less romantic - driver, conductor or a passenger on three railways my own invention.
I developed three branches: "Pipe" - the railway with eight stations with a length of three-quarters of the garden, "Topkaya" - there was a comma train, serving a short branch starting from a huge tank with a crane under the pine, and "terrace" railway, Which walked around the house. Most recently, I discovered a sheet of cardboard in Chulana, at which some sixty years ago, the railway track plan was signed.
I can not comprehend now, why I delivered such a non-implicit pleasure to drive around the hoop, stop and shouting: "Londeyshevaya". Transplant to "Pipe". "Trumpet". "Finite. Please free wagons. " I played so clock. Probably, it was great exercise. I comprehended the art with all the diligence so to throw my hoop so that he returned to me, this trick taught me one of our friends - maritime officers. At first I did not work out, but I stubbornly tried again and again and finally caught the right movement - how I was happy! "
Once a nanny, watching the girl more closely, found that Agatha, remaining alone, continuously talks to himself. That is, not even with you, but with non-existent interlocutors. At home, she led a long conversation with some kittens, and in the garden greet trees and asked them about the incidents of last night ...
Little Agatha loved to listen to the stories of the relatives came from the colonies and secretly dreamed of seeing the whole world with their own eyes. But at home they were preparing for another role - the role of a respectable wife: they taught art to please her husband and cook well.
Agatha's mother believed that children could not be allowed to read until they were eight years old. But from early childhood, a little agate showed an increased interest in the "bucchs". Already in four years, surprisingly nyan and parents, she began to read independently - and since then did not part with the books. Collections of fairy tales become the most desirable gift for holidays, and the library in the classroom is exposed to frequent raids.
Agatha's desk book became "Alice in Wonderland" Lewis Carroll. And the first detective heard - "Blue Carbuncul" Arthur Conan Doyle - told her little agate her sister Madi. As the agate remembered, it was then that "in some kind of corner of my brain, where themes for books are born, a thought appeared:" Someday I will write a detective novel. " Subsequently, it was from the style of Conan Doyle who studied his detective stories writer Agat Christie.
The first story of Agata wrote in 1896, expressing his cherished children's dream in it: to be a real lady. It meant "to always leave a little food on a plate, stick on an envelope an excess brand and wear clean underwear before traveling by rail in case of disaster."
Agatha submissively followed this and another thousand nanny instructions and somehow asked when, finally, she will be Lady Agata? Nanny, a convinced realist, replied: "It never happens. Lady Agata can only be born, that is, to be a daughter of a graph or duke." Agatha was very upset. And, as it turned out afterwards, completely in vain. In a few decades, she will still be Lady Agata, and the dream destroyed by the nanny will embody in 1971 her Majesty Queen Elizabeth.
In the meantime, Agata studied like lady Man Maneras, took the lessons on the piano and was engaged in a home teacher. It began to read early, but purity, grammar and spelling gave her much harder to become famous, Agatha Christie continued to write with errors. But mathematics led her delight. Agate seemed that the conditions of the simplest tasks like "John five apples, George - six" hides the real intrigue. Which of these boys does apples like more? Where did they generally take apples? And will nothing happen to anyone with John if he eats an apple given to him George?
The life of Agatha, like the whole family Miller, was carefree: a steady income in the form of interest from grandfather capital, a secular society in Eshfield, summer trips to France ... "I did not suspect that there is another children's doors, not such a pleasant world" , - recalled Agata.
But in November 1901, Fred Miller died. Stunned by grief, eleven-year-old Agatha did not immediately realize that the family's life changed. Clara did not leave his bedroom for weeks, refusing to communicate even with children. Madge, the pride of the Father, married. Monti experienced the death of the father heavier than others: he was a favorite of Fred and, unable to stay in the empty house, was recruited by a volunteer in India.
Agatha Christie (1890-1976) - the famous English writer. She was born in the port city of Torka in the south of England. The place is amazing and famous for its soft maritime climate. In the XIX century, it was a fashionable resort, where vacationers admired palm trees, cypresses and pines. Nowadays, he is called the English Riviera.
Called the girl Agat Mary Clarissa Miller. Her mother and father came to England from the USA, a small state there. The family also grew up the elder sister Margaret Frery (1879-1850) and the elder brother Luis Montan (1880-1929).
The older sister wrote funny stories, and Agatha decided to write a story too. But the plot turned out to be very terrible, even crazy. He did not like his parents, and they directly told about it their daughter. After that, the girl had every desire to compose any desire for many years.
The mother of our heroine is to all new and interesting. She was fond of a new religion, then fashionable needlework. As for the Father, he was addicted to drinking. After his death, the family was forced to move to Cairo, as it was much cheaper to live there in comparison with England.
By this time, Agatha turned into a nice girl with good home education, and a question arose about marriage. At one of the youth evenings, the future famous writer met the pilot of the Royal Air Forces. His archibald Christie called. The man was not good, but his courageous profession spun a romantically tuned girl. She fell in love with a pilot, and this feeling lasted for many years.
With first husband after the wedding
Everything ended with a wedding in 1914. But the joy of family life was overshadowed by the First World War. In these charm years, Agata Christie worked in the hospital of a nurse. There she met a lot of Belgian refugees. It can be assumed that communication with these people and spawned the image of the Belgian detective Erkulya Poiro in the future.
From the hospital, the girl moved to the pharmacist in the pharmacy. She perfectly mastered the knowledge concerning medication, as well as poisons. Subsequently, this affected her work. Several dozens of crimes described in her books were committed precisely using poisoning.
With Rosalinda daughter
In 1919, our heroine gave birth to Rosalind Daughter, and in 1920 he wrote his first novel "The Mysterious Incident in Stiles". A young woman went on publishers by offering editors their work. But only the seventh Publisher agreed to print it. For his first book, the future star of detective novels received a fee in the amount of 25 pounds sterling.
What prompted Agatu to make writing activities? It must be borne in mind that the husband sometimes was not at home for 6 months taking into account his profession. Woman spent one evening. Maybe loneliness and it came across it for the idea to do something productive and interesting. The writer herself later told that bloody killings came up with when soap dishes. What concerned the development of the plot, the apples helped in this greatly. The woman loved them very much, and when she eaten, then bright and exciting paintings of sinister and sophisticated crimes came in the head.
In 1926, our heroine had two turning points in life. Mother died, and her husband asked a divorce, as she fell in love with a certain Nancy Neal, who regularly played golf. Christie resigned the divorce for a long time, trying to save the family with all their might. And in December 1926 he left home and disappeared.
Police 11 days unsuccessfully looking for a woman. Finally, her car was discovered, and soon the writer itself was found in a small hotel with signs of amnesia. Agatha registered in it under the name of her husband's mistress. But did a woman suffered a memory loss, or did she slip everything to suffer their wrong husband?
There is no answer to this question. However, the English psychologist Andrew Norman thoroughly studied the behavior of Christie in the hotel and concluded that the woman suffered from dissociative fugue. And it was caused by experiences and suffering. And indeed, our heroine first experienced grief from the death of the mother, and barely recovered, received a new psychological strike, having learned that his beloved husband was going to divorce with her. Many people in such a situation may have a nervous breakdown.
In 1928, family life was ended with divorce, and the writer remained alone. In 1930, she went on the journey through Iraq and on the excavations of the ancient city, the Urah met Max Mullden (1904-1978). It was a young archaeologist specializing in the history of anterior Asia. He graduated from Oxford and worked together with the famous English archaeologist Charles Vely.
With the second husband
The man was younger than Agatha for 15 years. But a noticeable difference in the age did not prevent their marriage. This union was extremely happy and lasted to the death of both spouses. As for the writer's creativity, since then, the plots of its detective novels began to develop on the lands of anterior Asia.
Spouses treated each other with respect and were truly happy. Christie often helped her husband. She photographed excavations, was engaged in papers, corresponding, reports, and the spouse, in turn, was vividly interested in the work of his wife.
In 1956, England appreciated the literary donations to his famous compatriot. She was hanging on the chest the Order of the British Empire. In 1971, the title of Kavaledam was assigned, which gave the right to the noble title. The husband was worthy of his wife. For merit in archeology, he was awarded the Order of the British Empire in 1968.
In 1958, Agata Christie became Chairman of the English Detective Club. But what is interesting, known for the whole world, a woman never believed his creativity with something serious and important. But the archaeological activity of her husband was valued extremely high and believed that it was necessary for humanity.
Agatha Christie with grandson
In 1971, the writer began to deteriorate their health. Doctors, having studied her literary works, written at this time, came to the belief that an elderly woman developed Alzheimer's disease. The creator of many brilliant detectives died on January 12, 1976 for 86 years of life. Died in her house in Wallingford (Oxfordshire County, England).

The family has lost her father early, mother was engaged in the education of children. Young Agatha education received at home. Much attention was paid to the music in which she succeeded. Most likely, the girl would have become a good musician if it were not for fear scenes.When the First World War began, she helped in the hospital, working there a nurse. Agate really liked this work, she considered it the most necessary and noble among all existing professions. For a while she worked as a pharmacist in one of the pharmacies.
The first books of Agatha Christie
In the hospital, the girl began to write their first stories. She wanted to try himself in this, like the older sister, who had several published works at that time. According to one of the assumptions, the sisters argued at the expense of whether the agate could write something that would be worthy of attention and what will be printed. But this is only an assumption."The mysterious incident in Stiles" is so called the novel, which was the first to be published in 1920. It should be noted that the novel was not immediately accepted into print. The beginner writer had to make a lot of strength so that the novel saw the light.
In print, it was taken only in the seventh publisher. The first edition was two thousand copies, and the fee of the author is twenty-five pounds. However, the beginning was laid. At first, Christie planned to be printed under the male pseudonym, believing that the reader would be wary of the Woman's writer working in a detective genre. The publisher dissuaded Agatu, convincing it that with such a rare name I will immediately remember.
Since then, all detective novels have published under the name of Agata Christie, and those that were not related to a detective, were printed under the pseudonym Mary Westmakkot.

Miss Marple The writer associated with his grandmother, who, as Christi told, was always waiting for the worst, and this is the worst, most often, and happened. Already by the end of the thirties, the hero of Poirot was tired of the writer, and in 1940 she wrote the final work about him, but it was printed only in the seventies. Miss Marple was closer to Christi, she impressed her "traditional English lady."
Many periods of life of the writer found their reflection in those or other works. So, often heroes died from poisoning poisons, the knowledge of which Christi received, working in a pharmacy.
