Features: "The Bookworm" is a premium offering jointly brought to by the Foreign Language Teaching and Research Press and Oxford University Press. In English, the term "bookworm" probably conveys a rather endearing image. Imagine such a "bookworm" utterly immersed in books, tirelessly devouring letters. Now, this "bookworm" has crossed the seas and landed gracefully in the hands of Chinese English learners. "The Bookworm" first gives you a start, even if you currently only have a few hundred words, you can easily read world-class works without much effort. The bookworm will also remind you incessantly with its delicate chirping: to persevere in reading, to read widely and richly. By the time you finish the last book in the series, you might suddenly realize: you have transformed like a caterpillar into a butterfly, ready to take flight! Many people enjoy reading mysterious murder cases because they are all enigmatic puzzles. The detective only reveals the name of the murderer at the end of the book, but before that, can we guess the name of the murderer? Was the broken chair just an accident, or an important clue? How did the murderer enter the house? Did he or she have a key? Why are there three coffee cups on the table? Agatha Christie's mysterious murder cases are world-famous. She has written over 70 books, with sales reaching tens of millions of copies. Her novels have also been adapted into numerous television series and films. Her detectives, Hercule Poirot and Miss Marple, are also renowned—Poirot is a short, plump Belgian with black mustaches, while Miss Marple is a petite yet adorable elderly woman. She sees, hears, and remembers everything. This book is about the life of Agatha Christie. What kind of person was she? How deep is our understanding of her? She was wealthy, famous, and had two marriages. Yet, there is also an unsolved mystery in her life.
