| m. poirot: The Mystery of the Blue Train Agatha Christie, 2024-01-01T17:31:37Z The Mystery of the Blue Train revolves around a set of fabulous rubies, said to have been worn by Catherine the Great, now purchased by an American millionaire as a gift to his daughter. When she takes them with her on a luxury train to the Riviera, she is unaware that among her fellow passengers are her unfaithful husband, his not-so-secret mistress, a quiet Englishwoman who believes that nothing exciting ever happens to her—and the famous retired detective Hercule Poirot. And, possibly, a murderer. Despite positive critical reception of this entry in the Poirot canon, Christie described this as the least favorite of her own novels. However, this is almost certainly due to the events in her personal life during that time: the death of her mother, followed closely by the discovery of her husband’s affair and his request for divorce. Suffering from what appears to have been a nervous breakdown, Christie famously disappeared for over a week in December 1926, triggering a nationwide search before she was discovered to have checked into a hotel under an assumed name. This novel was written in part during a three-month convalescence following those events. The book is dedicated to Christie’s secretary Charlotte Fisher and her pet terrier Peter, calling them “distinguished members of the O.F.D.” The “Order of Faithful Dogs” was Christie’s name for her circle of closest friends. This book is part of the Standard Ebooks project, which produces free public domain ebooks. |

| m. poirot: The Murder on the Links Agatha Christie, 2020-07-28 “Agatha Christie must surely be the most imitated author in the entire canon of literature – what greater acclaim could there be?” -Peter James Paul Renauld sends for Hercule Poirot, who arrives to find his host dead in a newly dug grave. Can the master sleuth sort through a bewildering array of clues and outfox an unfriendly police officer to find the almost perfectly hidden identity of the murderer? Agatha Christie’s legendary sleuth Hercule Poirot returns only to find his would-be employer slain, too many suspects, and his refined investigative technique dismissed by the detective leading the local police investigation. The two butt heads, competing to solve the crime until a second corpse turns up, slain in the exact same fashion as the first. It takes Poirot’s razor-keen insight and deep knowledge of the history of crime to tie both killings to another as he brilliantly works toward an unexpected conclusion. Upon its original publication in 1923, the novel was greeted with great acclaim as a superbly structured mystery that was all but certain to baffle readers. This, the second investigation of Hercule Poirot, follows The Mysterious Affair at Styles, which is also available from Mint Editions. With an eye-catching new cover, and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of Murder on the Links is both modern and readable. |

| m. poirot: Animacy and Reference Mutsumi Yamamoto, 1999-09-15 The concept of ‘animacy’ concerns the fundamental and cognitive question of the extent to which we recognize and express living things as saliently human-like or animal-like. In Animacy and Reference Mutsumi Yamamoto pursues two main objectives: First, to establish a conceptual framework of animacy, and secondly, to explain how the concept of animacy can be reflected in the use of referential expressions. Unlike previous studies on the subject focussing on grammatical manifestations, Animacy and Reference sheds light upon the conceptual properties of animacy itself and its reflection in referential processes. For the research of this study the author focussed on languages that show completely different tendencies. As a result, English and Japanese ‘parallel corpora’ are analysed yielding salient observations and opening intriguing discussions. |
