Reading through Agatha Christie‘s writings in publication order. This book is a bit of side reading. It‘s about her 10-month trip around the world to promote the British Empire Exposition. I‘m reading all the Hercule Poirot short stories she wrote while on this trip and The Man in the Brown Suit which has characters and events based on her Grand Tour experiences :)
Silently grumbling why we had to turn the lights off... can‘t I read while y‘all watch tv? 🥺 #MerryChristmas guys! Hope all is well, and that the friends and family aren‘t too stressful or unbearable today 😉
I am struggling with this one. One one hand I am revealing in the old photographs and letters from such a celebrated talent & a time now passed. However, on the other hand I am having a tremendous problem with the absolute disregard for the indigenous cultures not to mention all of the problems associated with imperialism. I am trying really hard not to judge the past through the lease of the present. But.... well yeah. The struggle is real.
It's been sometimes since last l wandered into a bookshop, so today l thought, why not? Found some interesting new titles.
This is Agatha Christie's journal and letters from her grand tour around the world (1922-1923). Beautiful edition with so many photos and original pages.
I'm very very tempted.
