A propos de cet article

Vii, (I), 318 Pp. Blue Cloth. 1897 Date On Title Page. Dark Blue Endpapers. Bookplate Of E A Belcher, Major And Civil Servant, "En Dieu Est Tout". Color Even, Gilt Brilliant, But Bumping To Edges, And Waviness To Cloth And Endpapers (Water Damage). Christie's Dedication In Her 1924 Novel "The Mystery Of The Mill House" Reads "To E.A.B. In Memory Of A Journey, Some Lion Stories And A Request That I Should Some Day Write The Mystery Of The Mill House". As Noted In Wikipedia,"The Book Has Some Parallels To Incidents And Settings Of A Round-The-World Work Trip Taken By Christie With Her First Husband Archie Christie And Headed By His Old Teacher From Clifton College, Major E. A. Belcher, To Promote The Forthcoming 1924 British Empire Exhibition. The Tour Lasted From January 20 To December 1, 1922 (It Was On The Tour That Christie Wrote The Short Stories Which Would Form All Of Poirot Investigates (1924) And Most Of The Contents Of Poirot's Early Cases (Published In 1974). Dining With Belcher Before The Trip, He Had Suggested Setting A Mystery Novel In His Home, The Mill House At Dorney, Naming The Book The Mystery Of The Mill House And Insisted On Being In It As Well. He Is The Inspiration For The Central Character Sir Eustace Pedler, Having Been Given A Title At Archie's Suggestion, And The Mill House Also Makes An Appearance, Albeit Transposed To Marlow. Christie Found Belcher "Childish, Mean And Somehow Addictive As A Personality: ‘Never, To This Day, Have I Been Able To Rid Myself Of A Sneaking Fondness For Sir Eustace,’ Wrote Agatha Of The Fictionalised Belcher, Whom She Put Into The Man In The Brown Suit. ‘I Dare Say It's Reprehensible, But There It Is.’" Following Completion In Late 1923. The Man In The Brown Suit Was First Serialised In The London Evening News Under The Title Anne The Adventurous. It Ran In Fifty Instalments From Thursday, November 29, 1923 To Monday, January 28, 1924. There Were Slight Amendments To The Text, Either To Make Sense Of The Openings Of An Instalment (E.G. Changing "She Then." To "Anne Then."), Or Omitting Small Sentences Or Words. The Main Change Was In The Chapter Division. The Published Book Has Thirty-Six Chapters Whereas The Serialisation Has Only Twenty-Eight. In Her 1977 Autobiography Christie Makes A Slight Mistake With The Name Of The Serialisation And Refers To It As Anna The Adventuress (Possibly Confusing It With The 1904 Book Of The Same Name By E. Phillips Oppenheim). Irrespective Of This Mistake, The Change From Her Preferred Title Was Not Of Her Choosing And The Newspaper's Choice Was One That She Considered To Be "As Silly A Title As I Have Ever Heard". She Raised No Objections However As The Evening News Were Paying Her £500 (£21,141 In Current Terms) For The Serial Rights Which She And Her Family Considered An Enormous Sum.[ At Archie's Suggestion, She Used The Money To Purchase A Grey, Bottle-Nosed Morris Cowley. She Later Stated That Acquiring Her Own Car Ranked With Dining At Buckingham Palace As One Of The Two Most Exciting Incidents In Her Life.…
