Sat Mar 12 10:48:58 GMT 2016
Coinciding with the 40th anniversary of Agatha Christie's death we are
delighted to present a new book which deals with intermediality in the
work of Agatha Christie:
Hercule Poirot trifft Miss Marple : Agatha Christie intermedial
[Hercule Poirot meets Miss Marple : Intermediality in Agatha Christie's
work]
Kretzschmar, Judith ; Stoppe, Sebastian ; Vollberg, Susanne (Eds.)
Darmstadt: Büchner-Verlag, 2016
216 pp.
ISBN (print) 9783941310483
ISBN (ebook PDF) 9783941310698
chapters in German (with English abstract) and English language
Agatha Christie has been a key figure in the world of detective stories
in the 20th century. Her works are among the most widely read novels in
the world to date.
Therefore, it is hardly surprising that Christie’s works have been
adapted in many ways for cinema, television, and the stage. This book
addresses this intermediality: How does the original work compare to its
transformed appearance in other media? Why are some adaptions extremely
faithful to the original while others deviate significantly from the
source novel? How important are distant locations, recurring motifs, or
cast of characters? And where can one see certain interdependencies
between the various media?
