    内容简介

    This enchanting little hardback is an essential companion for any reader journeying through The Silmarillion or The Children of Hurin. Featuring an entertaining text and detailed gazetteer by acclaimed Tolkien author Brian Sibley, this gift edition also contains a stunning fold-out poster-map of the First Age of Tolkien's Middle-earth. Writer and broadcaster Brian Sibley is a foremost expert on The Lord of the Rings (he adapted the novel for the award-winning BBC radio dramatisation in 1980), and here in this clothbound hardback he will take you to the First Age of Middle-earth, many thousands of years before the events chronicled in The Lord of the Rings. This was the setting for the great War of the Jewels, as recounted in J.R.R. Tolkien's The Silmarillion and includes a gazetteer of the many places shown on the full-colour illustrated map which accompanies the book. The Map of Beleriand and the Lands to the North is faithfully reproduced in full colour by world-renowned Tolkien artist John Howe, the conceptual artist employed by Peter Jackson to work on his multi-award winning Lord of The Rings film trilogy, and who is soon to work on Guillermo del Toro's Hobbit film. The map is based on the original map by Christopher Tolkien. Embellished with heraldic emblems and dramatic scenes from The Silmarillion, it completes the trio of authorized Tolkien maps by John Howe which can be removed for reference or even for framing. Each element in this collector's package is special; together they provide an enchanting and desirable artefact that will be a prized possession of Tolkien readers of all ages.

      这是巴特尔探长的首次登场。   
      战后的赫索斯拉夫准备恢复帝制。即将成为国王的迈克殿下秘密来到英国,与英国金融家讨论合作项目,然而就在他入住烟囱大厦的当晚,就被人枪杀在议事厅中,凶手似乎并未离开大厦。奇怪的事件并没有完,在转天夜里,又有人闯入议事厅,似乎在寻找什么重要的东西,在被发觉后,依然混迹于大厦内。在英国刑事督察介入后,美国和法国的秘密警察也纷纷露头,事件愈加复杂了。   
      一个做环球旅游的年轻人带着朋友托付的两个任务来到英国,然而任务完成的并不顺利,并且被卷入了烟囱大厦的纠葛中不能脱身。但他凭借着聪明机智及过人的洞察力揪出了那个躲在暗处的敌人,揭开了藏在烟囱大厦里的秘密,顺便还找到了心上人并解决了赫索斯拉夫的政治危机。这是一个圆满的结局。   
      本书的人物关系微妙复杂,伏笔极多,颇有一波未平,一波又起,天翻地覆,柳暗花明的感觉。

    作者简介

    Agatha Christie was born in Torquay in 1890 and became, quite simply, the best-selling novelist in history. Her first novel, The Mysterious Affair at Styles, written towards the end of the First World War, introduced us to Hercule Poirot, who was to become the most popular detective in crime fiction since Sherlock Holmes. She is known throughout the world as the Queen of Crime. Her books have sold over a billion copies in the English language and another billion in over 100 foreign countries. She is the author of 80 crime novels and short story collections, 19 plays, and six novels under the name of Mary Westmacott.

      阿加莎·克里斯蒂,原姓米勒,全名为阿加莎·玛丽·克拉丽莎·米勒,英国乃至世界文坛的侦探小说大师。1890年9月15日生于英国德文郡托基的阿什菲尔德宅邸,1976年1月12日,逝世于英国牛津郡的沃灵福德家中,安葬在牛津郡的圣玛丽教堂墓园,终年85岁。   
      阿加莎·克里斯蒂的父亲是英籍美国人弗雷德里克·阿尔瓦·米勒,母亲是英国人克拉丽莎·克拉拉·伯契默·米勒。她是家中的的第3个孩子,有1个姐姐玛格丽特·弗蕾莉·米勒和1个哥哥路易斯·蒙坦特·米勒。   
      阿加莎·克里斯蒂是一名高产的作家,她的作品不仅局限于侦探小说,全部作品包括66部长篇推理小说,21部短篇或中篇小说选集,15个已上演或已发表的剧本,3个剧本集,6部以笔名玛丽·维斯特麦考特发表的情感小说,2部以笔名阿加莎·克里斯蒂·马洛温发表的作品(包括记录异域生活的回忆录1部,宗教题材的儿童读物1部),1部自传,2部诗集,2本与侦探俱乐部的会员作家们合写的长篇推理小说(2本共3部)。阿加莎·克里斯蒂著作数量之丰仅次于莎士比亚。  阿加莎·克里斯蒂开创了侦探小说的"乡间别墅派",即凶杀案发生在一个特定封闭的环境中,而凶手也是几个特定关系人之一。欧美甚至日本很多侦探作品也是使用了这一模式。   
      阿加莎·克里斯蒂一生有过2次婚姻,第1任丈夫是阿奇博尔德·克里斯蒂(离异);第2任丈夫是马克斯·马洛温。她同第一任丈夫有过1个女儿罗莎琳德·克里斯蒂。 她在晚年回忆自己的写作生涯,动笔写了一部自传。《阿加莎·克里斯蒂自传》是一本文笔相当优美的传记文学。自传为读者了解这位"侦探女王"的生平,提供了第一手资料,并成为侦探小说史上的重要文献。   
      她的生平事迹,已拍成传记片《阿加莎》。
