Who was the barely glimpsed figure in the red kimono? Whose is a handkerchief embroidered with the initial “H”? The detective then carefully notes the arrangement of the sleeping compartments, the movements of train personnel in the night, the apparent time of the stabbing and the possibility that the original murder plan was altered because of the snow. For most of the novel’s middle section, Poirot simply interrogates the passengers. At the same time, she shows little interest in atmospheric description and makes no serious effort to fathom the psychology of her suspects. ![]() Christie even divides her book into three sections, corresponding to the acts in a play, and she employs a great deal of dialogue, one of her real strengths as a writer.

Said to have been commissioned by the emperor Augustus (although it’s debatable quite what that ‘commission’ entailed), the poem was written in the aftermath of a series of devastating civil wars. ![]() P ublished after Virgil’s death in 19 BCE, the Aeneid is a poem of paradox: a foundation epic which never directly describes the foundation of Rome a divinely inspired song in the mould of the Iliad and Odyssey that is self-consciously, densely literate a paean to empire and a lament for empire’s victims. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Spiritus Mundi is an exciting espionage thriller involving the American CIA. ![]() Like Clancy’s The Bear and the Dragon, it forsees the inclusion of Russia in NATO, and goes far beyond in forseeing the inclusion of South Korea and Japan, following a joint Chinese-Russian occupation of a collapsing North Korea and the Axis strike at the Middle-Eastern oil fields ģ.
