Prose

We are used to the fact that often men are writers especially when we talk about detectives. However in any rule there are exceptions. As an example I can bring wonderful writers Daria Dontsova and Agatha Christie.

But first I would like to talk about Agatha Christie. She belongs to the number of the most famous authors of detective prose in the world. Her works have become one of the most published in the history of mankind. Christie has published more then 60 detective novels, 6 psychological novels and 19 collections of short stories. 16 of her plays were staged in London. Moreover her books are published in more then 4 billon copies and translated into more then 100 languages. Also Agatha Christie owns a record for the maximum number of theatrical performances.Despite the fact that she wrote her detectives long time ago, Christie remains one of the most widely read writers.   

Speaking of the biography of Daria Dontsova should be noted that Daria is not her real name. At birth she was called Agrippina. FRom the side of the mother Agrippina has Polish and Cossack origins. Since early childhood parents were trying to teach Adrippina music and literature. Due to the fact that her father was a writer, Agrippina all summer vacation spent in Peredelkino.She was a very close friend with Valentin Kataev granddaughter and also she made friends with Korney Chukovsky. She studied at the Faculty of journalism at Moscow State University. For three years she worked as an interpreter at the Soviet Consul General in Syria, then she worked as a journalist. During a serious illnes she began writting detective novels, which became very popular. Now we know Daria Dontsova as a writer of ironic detectives and she still creates her own works.
