Agatha Christie
Dame Agatha Mary Clarissa Christie, Lady Mallowan, DBE [ˈæɡəθə ˈkɹɪsti] (* 15. September 1890 in Torquay, Grafschaft Devon; † 12. Januar 1976 in Wallingford, gebürtig Agatha Mary Clarissa Miller) war eine britische Schriftstellerin. Die verkaufte Weltauflage ihrer Bücher soll über zwei Milliarden betragen, womit sie zu den erfolgreichsten Autoren der Literaturgeschichte zählt.
Bekannt wurde sie vor allem durch eine große Anzahl von Kriminalromanen und Kurzgeschichten, die auch mehrfach mit großem Erfolg für Kino und Fernsehen verfilmt sowie für die Bühne adaptiert wurden. Ihre berühmtesten Schöpfungen sind der belgische Detektiv Hercule Poirot mit seinem Freund Arthur Hastings sowie die altjüngferliche Miss Marple. Daneben gibt es andere wiederkehrende Figuren wie das Ehepaar Tommy und Tuppence Beresford oder Inspektor Battle, Sir Henry Clithering oder die Krimi-Autorin Mrs. Ariadne Oliver. Neben ihrer schriftstellerischen Tätigkeit unterstützte Christie ihren zweiten Ehemann, den Archäologen Max Mallowan, bei seinen Ausgrabungen im Nordirak und in Syrien, insbesondere bei der Restaurierung prähistorischer Keramiken und der Fotodokumentation der Funde. Sie trug maßgeblich zur Finanzierung dieser Expeditionen bei.
