A set for detective and adventure lovers (consisting of 2 books: "Ten Little Indians" and "Life of Pi")The novel "Ten Little Indians" is one of the greatest detective works in history. With a total circulation of over 100,000,000 copies, it ranks fifth on the list of bestselling fiction books of all time - and the undisputed first place among the novels of Agatha Christie herself. Agatha Christie is the most published author of all time and people after Shakespeare. The circulation of her books is second only to the circulation of his works and the Bible. More than a billion of Christie's books have been sold in English and the same number in other languages. She is the author of eighty detective novels and collections of stories, twenty plays, two books of memoirs and six psychological novels, written under the pseudonym Mary Westmacott. Her characters Hercule Poirot and Miss Marple have forever become exemplary heroes of the action genre. Agatha Christie considered "Ten Little Indians" to be her best work. The novel was published under this title in 1939, all subsequent publications were printed under the more politically correct title "...And Then There Were None." The novel was the first work with the theme of the "perfect murder", and also served as an example for the creation of many detective books and psychological films, which fully or partially used the techniques from this work. It was repeatedly filmed, but only the Soviet two-part television film by Stanislav Govorukhin fully corresponded to the plot line with a gloomy ending. "Life of Pi" is a novel - winner of the Booker Prize in 2002, written about the journey of none other than a small Indian and ... a Bengal tiger! And not just anywhere, but in a boat in the middle of the Pacific Ocean! "Eerie, absurd, risky, sad and unusually sensual in terms of the images and smells it reproduces, this journey and its incredibly strange narrator (like an intellectual hummingbird forced to extract nectar from the depths of various inflorescences) recall the hallucination of Joseph Conrad and Salman Rushdie guessing at the semantic content of The Old Man and the Sea and Gulliver." - The Financial Times "This book will restore your faith in the ability of writers to saturate even the most fantastic plot with life details ... Amazing!" — The New York Times“Life of Pi” caused a real cultural explosion in the world intellectual environment. The fantastic journey of a young man and a Bengal tiger, described in the novel, echoes the story “The Old Man and the Sea”, with the magical realism of Marquez and the absurdity of Beckett. The book became not only a bestseller, but also a symbol of the literature of the new century, the flag of a new culture. In 2012, the novel was filmed and received four Oscars.
