<description><![CDATA[På lördag den 28 november ska Svenska Deckarakademin utse årets bästa svenska respektive till svensk]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>På lördag den 28 november ska Svenska Deckarakademin utse årets bästa svenska respektive till svenska översatta kriminalroman. Fem titlar har som vanligt nominerats i vardera kategori. Årets svenska deckare skrevs av tre kvinnor och tre män (vilket alltså betyder att en av böckerna har två författare).</p>
<p><img class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-3649" title="Flickorna I Villette_press[1]" src="http://erikssonskultursidor.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/flickorna-i-villette_press1.jpg?w=96" alt="" width="96" height="150" />Ingrid Hedström återkom med sin andra deckare, ”Flickorna i Villette” (Alfabeta), om undersökningsdomaren Martine Poirot (efter Hercule) i den fiktiva staden Villette-sur-Meuse i Belgien. Fortfarande lovande – men är efterföljaren bättre än deckardebuten? Har Hedström infriat förväntningarna? Också hennes nya deckare är läsvärd men, tycker jag, faktiskt något svagare än debuten.</p>
<p><img class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-3650" title="Dömd på förhand" src="http://erikssonskultursidor.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/domd-pa-forhand.jpg?w=97" alt="" width="97" height="150" />Tove Klackenberg har skrivit ännu en deckare i domstolsmiljö. ”Dömd på förhand” (Alfabeta) utspelar sig på tingsrätten i Marviken. Dit kommer juristen Monika Larsson för att tjänstgöra som notarie. Tingsrätten beskrivs som ett spökhus, vilket galet – synonymt med mänskligt – ställe. Som vanligt både underhållande och oroande – men är Klackenbergs nya deckare bättre än de tre föregående, har hon överträffat sig själv den här gången? Svar: Nja.</p>
<p><img class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-3652" title="Carmine" src="http://erikssonskultursidor.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/carmine.jpg?w=104" alt="" width="104" height="150" />Håkan Nesser kan berätta en historia. ”Maskarna på Carmine Street” (Albert Bonniers) är ännu ett exempel på det – ja, nog en av hans allra bästa (kriminal)historier. Ett par flyttar från Europa till New York, bosätter sig på Carmine Street, för att komma ifrån, någon gång kunna låta bli att tänka på att deras 4-åriga dotter försvann – spårlöst – för ett och halvt år sen. Det handlar om saknad och sorg, hur relationen mellan två människor förändras så att man inte vet om händelser hänt eller man bara fått för sig.</p>
<p><img class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-3653" title="Roslund" src="http://erikssonskultursidor.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/roslund.jpg?w=97" alt="" width="97" height="150" />Anders Roslund och Börje Hellström fortsätter att klä av det svenska samhället. I ”Tre sekunder” (Piratförlaget) skildras hur polisen – med politikers godkännande – använder olagliga metoder, till och med mord är tillåtet, för att bekämpa internationell brottslighet. Både välskrivet och en väl uppbyggd historia. Roslund och Hellström har dessutom förmågan att få mig att tro att historien är dokumentär, nästan sann. Ändå drabbas jag inte riktigt lika hårt som när de skrev om hemlösa, uteliggande barn.</p>
<p><img class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-3654" title="untitled" src="http://erikssonskultursidor.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/schenk.jpg?w=94" alt="" width="94" height="150" />Veronica von Schenk tar ett stort kliv framåt med sin andra deckare om Althea Molin, svensk-koreansk gärningsmannaprofilerare i Stockholm. Men innebär det också att ”Kretsen” (Ordfront) är en av 2009 års bästa svenska deckare? Nej, det har jag svårt att tycka, trots att von Schenk skrivit en lite annorlunda och ovanligt modern kriminalhistoria med både datorer och seriemördare.</p>
<p>Vem (eller vilka) av de ovannämnda ska få ta emot Deckarakademins svenska pris? Mitt tips: Håkan Nesser (fast gardera med Roslund och Hellström).</p>
<p>Inte varje år men när det finns någon extra lovande deckardebutant så brukar Deckarakademin dessutom dela ut ett debutantpris. I år har det mer eller mindre utlovats att också en debutant ska prisas. Vilken?</p>
<p><img class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-3663" title="Svinhugg" src="http://erikssonskultursidor.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/svinhugg.jpg?w=101" alt="" width="101" height="150" /><img class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-3662" title="Alsterdal" src="http://erikssonskultursidor.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/alsterdal.jpg?w=97" alt="" width="97" height="150" /><img class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-3664" title="Olle L bokomslag" src="http://erikssonskultursidor.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/olle-l-bokomslag.jpg?w=102" alt="" width="102" height="150" />Följande tre bör vara aktuella: Tove Alsterdal med den internationella deckaren ”Kvinnorna på stranden” (Lind &#38; Co), som utspelar sig i bland annat USA, Frankrike och Spanien och har människosmuggling som politiskt tema, Marianne Cederwall med icke-deckaren ”Svinhugg” (Natur &#38; Kultur), där läkaren Mirjam kommer hem till Gotland och börjar ”mörda” med affirmation (genom att önska livet ur människor), och Olle Lönnaeus med den stämningsrika, skånska landsortsdeckaren ”Det som ska sonas” (Damm).</p>
<p><img class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-3667" title="askungar-1251794297" src="http://erikssonskultursidor.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/askungar-1251794297.jpg?w=98" alt="" width="98" height="150" /><img class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-3668" title="grebe-camilla-nagon-sorts-frid" src="http://erikssonskultursidor.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/grebe-camilla-nagon-sorts-frid.jpg?w=94" alt="" width="94" height="150" />Också Kristina Ohlssons polisroman ”Askungar” (Pirat) eller systrarna Camilla Grebes och Åsa Träffs dubbelpsykologiska deckare ”Någon sorts frid” (W&#38;W) skulle kunna vara tänkbar. Slutsats: många bra svenska debutdeckare i år! Mitt tips – eller snarare en förhoppning – är att debutantpriset går till Olle Lönnaeus. Så över till årets utländska, till svenska översatta deckare&#8230;</p>
<p><img class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-3655" title="Carofiglio" src="http://erikssonskultursidor.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/carofiglio.jpg?w=96" alt="" width="96" height="150" />Italienaren Gianrico Carofiglio, åklagare och författare, har skrivit en domstolsdeckare, ”På sannolika skäl” (Schibsted), som också blir en samhälls- och mansroman. En advokat i staden Bari försvarar en invandrad gatuförsäljare som åtalats för mord på en pojke, 9 år. Rasism (och en aning av maffian) men främst ett nära porträtt av en italiensk man.                                                                                                                      </p>
<p><img class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-3656" title="Luciana" src="http://erikssonskultursidor.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/luciana.jpg?w=94" alt="" width="94" height="150" />Argentinaren Guillermo Martínez har nominerats för ”Lucianas långsamma död” (Albert Bonniers), en litterär och mer intellektuell spänningsroman. De tre huvudpersonerna finns i Buenos Aires: två författarkolleger – eller konkurrenter – och en ung kvinna, medhjälpare till både den ene och den andre författaren. En berättelse om sanning. Finns sanningen, i singular? Och var går gränsen mellan fiktion och verklighet? Vems sanning är sann och vilken verklighet är verklig?</p>
<p><img class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-3657" title="Jägarens hjärta" src="http://erikssonskultursidor.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/jagarens-hjarta.jpg?w=106" alt="" width="106" height="150" />I ”Jägarens hjärta” (Weyler) fortsätter Deon Meyer att skildra Sydafrika så atmosfärrikt att man förflyttas till ett land som man trodde att man visste någonting om, för man har ju följt med i nyhetsrapporteringen, men det gjorde man inte. Sydafrika före och, som här, efter apartheid är ett okänt land. Tobela ”Tiny” Mpayipheli, huvudperson i den nya boken, har varit elitsoldat i ANC men behandlas som en kriminell av den sydafrikanska säkerhetstjänsten.</p>
<p><img class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-3658" title="Mina" src="http://erikssonskultursidor.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/mina.jpg?w=93" alt="" width="93" height="150" />Denise Minas nya skotska deckare, ”I midnattens stillhet” (Minotaur), är en fristående roman. Fast miljön känns igen från hennes tidigare deckarserier: den slitna, hårda arbetarstaden Glasgow. En söndageftermiddag bromsar en skåpbil in vid ett hus i ett villaområde. Tre män tränger sig in hos en invandrarfamilj och kidnappar en familjemedlem. Lösen: 1 miljon pund. Kan den här familjen ha så mycket pengar? Här presenteras också en ny hjältinna från arbetarklassen, polisen Alex Morrow, som inte tar skit.</p>
<p><img class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-3659" title="Andrew Taylor" src="http://erikssonskultursidor.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/andrew-taylor.jpg?w=99" alt="" width="99" height="150" />Engelsmannen Andrew Taylors senaste roman, ”Det blödande hjärtat” (Forum), är en deckare (jo, det får man säga, för här finns en kriminalgåta, ett eventuellt mord) men också en historisk roman (tiden är London 1934), en kvinnoroman och kanske en politisk roman. En kvinna flyr från en brutal make, som beundrar fascisten Oswald Mosley, och en tillvaro i överflöd. Hon flyttar in hos sin far på ett billigt pensionat och får stå ut med stanken av kokt vitkål.</p>
<p>En brokig samling deckare, läsvärda alla fem men vilken är bäst? Kvalitetsmässigt kan ingen placeras före de andra. De är så olika, hör till varsin gren på deckarträdet. Det blir en fråga om tycke och smak. Deckarakademins ledamöter brukar uppskatta kriminalromaner med en ordentlig berättelse, som går över gränsen till den skönlitterära romanen och gärna i historisk tid – så mitt tips är att priset går till Andrew Taylor. Min egen, personliga favorit: Deon Meyer.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><a href="http://doctorbeatnik.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/jennifer-saunders.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-935" title="jennifer-saunders" src="http://doctorbeatnik.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/jennifer-saunders.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="200" /></a>Watching an old episode of &#8216;Friends&#8217; the other night &#8211; the one where Ross says the wrong name during his wedding to Emily -  I was reminded of the night I played some songs in front of Jennifer Saunders. Jennifer&#8217;s daughter was playing that night too as it was an open mic night at a local bar. I was due to go on after her and it only dawned on me as I was checking my guitar was in tune over in a quiet corner that Jennifer was in the front row, having come to watch her daughter&#8217;s performance. She looked softer than her &#8216;Absolutely Fabulous&#8217; persona and seemed to be enjoying the evening. When I stepped out onto the stage for my slot I tried not to stare directly at her as I knew it would make me feel nervous. I don&#8217;t know why, there was a time when I kept randomly bumping into celebrities. Then again, when it is random you don&#8217;t ever really get a chance to get used to the idea. I mean you can&#8217;t wonder around life think &#8216;Oh I&#8217;m Mr Planet, I bump into famous people.&#8217; Not unless you want people to use the word &#8216;arrogant&#8217; when they describe you.</p>
<p><a href="http://doctorbeatnik.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/211391.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-936" title="211391" src="http://doctorbeatnik.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/211391.jpg?w=240" alt="" width="168" height="210" /></a>But it is true that I&#8217;ve encountered celebrities in unexpected situations. Once I was heading to a band rehearsal and walking over a bridge in town. Coming the other way was a blond chap who seemed a little familiar. &#8216;He looks like David McCallum out of &#8216;The Man From U.N.C.L.E.&#8217;,&#8217; I thought to myself as he drew nearer. &#8220;You&#8217;re David McCallum,&#8221; I suddenly said. &#8220;Yes I am,&#8221; he replied, &#8220;And who are you?&#8221; &#8220;Oh I&#8217;m just a bloke on the street hassling you,&#8221; I said, realising that it was really rather rude of me to just blurt out my thoughts at him. He extended his hand and said &#8220;Hello bloke on the street.&#8221; &#8220;Hello David McCallum.&#8221; He then pointed at my guitar case and said &#8220;You playing tonight?&#8221; &#8220;Rehearsing with my band,&#8221; I told him. &#8220;You any good?&#8221; he wanted to know. &#8220;I&#8217;m not bad.&#8221; He smiled and said &#8220;Well I&#8217;m not bad at acting so you never know.&#8221; And that was that. He had to go, I was late for rehearsal and I forgot to ask him the most important question which was, &#8216;What are you doing in this two-bit nowhere town I call home?&#8217;</p>
<p><a href="http://doctorbeatnik.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/kinks02.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-937" title="kinks02" src="http://doctorbeatnik.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/kinks02.jpg?w=278" alt="" width="278" height="300" /></a>Some years later, when I was at university, I was standing at the queue for the ATM with my son, who was probably about eight or nine years old at the time. There were two ATM machines and the guy alongside me in the other queue looked familiar. Oh my word, he was Dave Davies, guitar player of The Kinks, one of my favourite sixties bands. &#8220;Hello guitar man,&#8221; I said. He turned round and smiled and said something quite softly. I remembered as he spoke that he&#8217;d suffered a stroke a few years back so he might not want people bugging him on the street. So I just gave him the thumbs-up, which he returned. We both stepped forward to the cash machines at the same time and when he&#8217;d done he tapped me on the shoulder and said goodbye with another thumbs-up. &#8220;Who was that?&#8221; asked my son. &#8220;He was in a huge band in the sixties.&#8221; &#8220;Bigger than McFly?&#8221; he asked (for the Americans, McFly were the equivalent of the Jonas Brothers over here for a year or two). &#8220;Well sort of,&#8221; I replied, &#8220;But even bigger and much more talented.&#8221; &#8220;Cool.&#8221; And I had to agree, how very cool to just bump into Dave Davies while waiting to draw some money out of the bank.</p>
<p>In similar fashion I have met Donald Sutherland, David Suchet (who plays Poirot over here in the UK), Hugh Cornwell of The Stranglers, Tony Robinson (Baldrick from &#8216;Blackadder&#8217;), and several other minor celebs. But the famous person I refused to get excited about was a member of the royal family. It was my first year at university and I was walking down a corridor talking with a friend. My shoulder brushed against the shoulder of somebody coming the other way. &#8220;Sorry,&#8221; I said and carried on walking. My friend was agitated. &#8220;Oh my god! Do you know who that was?&#8221; &#8220;Nope,&#8221; I said, as I hadn&#8217;t even looked up. &#8220;That&#8217;s Peter Philips.&#8221; &#8220;Er, and he is?&#8221; &#8220;Princess Anne&#8217;s son. The Queen&#8217;s grandson.&#8221; I wondered what my friend expected me to do with this information. Run after Peter Philips and throw myself prostrate before him uttering profuse apologies? I grinned. &#8220;I doubt very much he&#8217;ll have me sent to the tower for brushing his shoulder, especially as I&#8217;ve said sorry. He probably likes being treated like a normal person anyway.&#8221; My friend still looked doubtful but, as my head was still attached to my shoulders, I assumed I was right and carried on walking.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Har vel aldri vore nokon særleg lesehest, men opp i gjennom oppveksten så har eg no fått nokre kick der ein får satt seg ned å lest litt bøker. Og når eg først finne fram ei bok så går det mest i krim og da spesielt Agatha Christie, the queen of crime <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> . Alltid likt Hercule Poirot både i bokform og ikkje minst filmatiseringane. Fredagskveldane var ikkje dei same utan Poirot.</p>
<p>Samlinga med Agatha Christie bøker er aukande. Gjekk igjennom samlinga her ei helg og fant ut at eg til no har 22 av 110 bøker som ho har gitt ut. Planen er å kjøpe alle saman og sjølvsagt få lest dei. Da eg har mista kontroll over kva bøker eg har lese, så fekk eg for meg i dag at eg berre skulle byrje på toppen og så ta bok for bok. Tenkte at dette også ville vera ein genial måte å få kjøpt dei bøkene eg manglar. No har eg ordna meg ein oversikt over kva rekkefølge eg bør lese bøkene, så da er det berre å sette i gang. Typisk så manglar eg dei første bøkene så dei vart bestilt i dag. Fant dei til ein billig penge på Amazon.co.uk. Detta skal bli eit spennande prosjekt. Kanskje eg klarar å lausrive meg litt fra tv&#8217;en også. Føler eg brukar litt for mykje tid framfor denna boksen.</p>
<p>Gledeleg er det at ho er fra Torquay og på museumet der har dei ei stor utsitlling og den passar eg på å få besøkt når eg reiser over på fotballturane mine. Kvart år blir det også arrangert <a href="http://www.agathachristie.com/home-uk/christie-week-2009-1/">Agatha Christie Festival</a> og den skal eg prøva å få med meg eit år. Mykje spennande som står på plakaten der <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>Happy reading <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>On my last trip to Rio I started E. L. Doctorow&#8217;s <a href="http://www.amazon.com/City-God-E-L-Doctorow/dp/0452282098/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&#38;s=books&#38;qid=1258072920&#38;sr=1-6">City of God</a>.  After all, that&#8217;s the name of one of the most well known slums in Rio (and a <a href="http://www.amazon.com/City-God-Novel-Paulo-Lins/dp/0802170102/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&#38;s=books&#38;qid=1258072920&#38;sr=1-2">book</a> and <a href="http://www.amazon.com/City-God-Alexandre-Rodrigues/dp/B0000D9PNX/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&#38;s=dvd&#38;qid=1258072987&#38;sr=8-1">movie</a> that take place therein). Doctorow is talking about a different city though: New York.  After reading ten of Agatha Christie&#8217;s <a href="http://tukopamoja.wordpress.com/hercule-poirot/">Hercule Poirot novels</a> over the last year, this narrative struck me:</p>

<p style="text-align:center;">
<p style="text-align:center;">Genre: Crime</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">Year of Publication: 1926</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">
<p style="text-align:justify;">Roger Ackroyd knew that the woman he loved had poisoned her first husband and suspected that someone had been blackmailing her. Now he learnt that she had taken her life with a drug overdose. The post brought Roger one last bit of information, but he was stabbed to death before he could read it.</p>

<description><![CDATA[SUCCESS! Finally some reward after months of nothing at all. 2nd place was attained in this week]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><strong>SUCCESS! </strong>Finally some reward after months of nothing at all. 2nd place was attained in this week&#8217;s Guardian gallery which wins me a copy of Championship Manager 2010. Not bad given that the two previous second place prizes were books but I&#8217;ll probably stick it straight on Ebay given that it&#8217;s not Football Manager.</p>
<p>Anyway, this week&#8217;s theme was new Arsenal defensive stalwart Thomas Vermaelen. I was convinced until Tuesday morning that the theme was Rio Ferdinand, leaving a bit of mad rush in the evening to knock something together for Vermaelen. Both are pretty obvious, especially the Verminator, but I guess the second one is simple enough to have got second.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p style="text-align:justify;">Como vocês devem ter percebido, estamos sem um <a href="http://cafecomritalina.wordpress.com/2009/11/01/concurso-novo-redator-do-cafe-com-ritalina/">redator</a>, o que desconfigurou toda nossa programação normal. Como um modo de tapar buracos, vou estrear essa coluna, que só aparecerá de vez em quando. <del datetime="2009-11-02T18:13:17+00:00">Leia &#8211; se: quando alguém debizar.</del></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Essa era uma ideia que tive há muito tempo atrás. Na verdade seria uma série semanal, com vários textos muito bem feitos e tal.<br />
Porém, o tempo e a preguiça não me permitiram colocar este projeto em prática.<br />
Então reduzi algo que seria uma longa série em um texto básico&#8230;</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Se não ficar bom, não precisam ler mesmo&#8230;</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Mas o que seria Alotropismo?</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">
<p style="text-align:justify;"><!--more-->Segundo o dicionário, alotropismo nada mais é do que um fenômeno no qual certos elementos se apresentam de formas diferentes, sendo feitos da mesma matéria ou elemento. E aqui, você encontrará uma palavra e vários significados&#8230;</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Explicado este detalhe? Vamos ao texto de verdade&#8230;</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">E hoje vou falar de veneno&#8230;</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">E não posso começar a falar sobre isso sem citar</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong><em>Lucrécia Borgia</em></strong><em> </em></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Quando se pensa em venenos, logo vem à mente essa mulher bela e perigosa que viveu nos idos tempos da Renascença. Acusada de envenenar seus maridos e manter relações incestuosas com seus irmãos e até com seu pai, o papa Alexandre VI, muitas das histórias que se referem a ela podem ser apenas fruto da imaginação de escritores da época.</p>
<div id="attachment_1307" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 291px"><a href="http://cafecomritalina.wordpress.com/files/2009/10/small_355.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-1307" title="small_355" src="http://cafecomritalina.wordpress.com/files/2009/10/small_355.jpg" alt="Maria Valverde como Lucrécia Borgia no filme &#34;Poder e Luxúria&#34;" width="281" height="355" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Maria Valverde como Lucrécia Borgia no filme &#34;Poder e Luxúria&#34;</p></div>
<p style="text-align:justify;">A única coisa que se pode ter certeza é que Lucrécia, além de ser muito bela, foi o pivô de muitos escândalos que assolaram Roma durante o governo do Borgia.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Talvez o único fato real em relação aos envenenamentos dos quais ela é acusada seja o anel que guardava em um compartimento secreto um &#8220;pó&#8221; extremamente perigoso.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">E por falar em pó perigoso, isso me lembra&#8230;</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><em><strong>Arsênico</strong></em></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">O arsênico é encontrado na Natureza pelo homem desde a Antiguidade. Já Aristóteles referencia o sandarach (trisulfureto de arsênico) no quarto século antes de Cristo.</p>
<div id="attachment_1308" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 310px"><a href="http://cafecomritalina.wordpress.com/files/2009/10/arsenico_-_forti_di_incomprensioni_instabili.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-1308" title="arsenico_-_forti_di_incomprensioni_instabili" src="http://cafecomritalina.wordpress.com/files/2009/10/arsenico_-_forti_di_incomprensioni_instabili.jpg" alt="Arsenico, forte, de incompreensivel instabilidade... Principalmente, a feminina" width="300" height="300" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Arsênico, forte, de incompreensível instabilidade... Principalmente, a feminina</p></div>
<p style="text-align:justify;">E por que me lembrei do arsênico?</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Porque, segundo historiadores, este era o veneno favorito na Idade Média e Renascença. Época dos Borgias!</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Os sintomas do envenenamento por arsênico se parecem com os sintomas da cólera, ou seja, cansaço, vômitos, náuseas, vertigens, falta de ar, entre outros.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Uma das formas de se identificar o envenenamento por arsênico é hálito e suor com odor de alho.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Mas não são somente os Borgias que ficaram famosos usando o arsênico como forma de assassinar as pessoas.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong>Agatha Cristhie</strong> também!</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><em><strong>Depois do Funeral</strong></em></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Neste livro, o inteligente investigador belga Poirot, um dos mais famosos personagens da Dama do Crime, é levado a investigar os assassinatos ocorridos entre a familia Abernethie, após a morte de uma pessoa ligada à família por consumir um pedaço de bolo com arsênico.</p>
<div id="attachment_1309" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 293px"><a href="http://cafecomritalina.wordpress.com/files/2009/10/lapide_pessimista.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-1309" title="lapide_pessimista" src="http://cafecomritalina.wordpress.com/files/2009/10/lapide_pessimista.jpg" alt="Depois do Funeral... Só sobra a lapide." width="283" height="265" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Depois do Funeral... Só sobra a lápide.</p></div>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Na verdade, não é somente este livro da Agatha que fala sobre assassinatos com veneno. Em geral, quando o assassino era uma mulher, a arma do crime era veneno. Talvez porque os venenos sejam uma forma tão passional de se matar, que logo são reconhecidos como uma arma das mulheres.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">E por falar em mulher, vamos conhecer uma que era passional e puro veneno&#8230;</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><em><strong>Hera venenosa</strong></em></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Personagem da DC comics, o alter ego da Dra. Pamela Lillian Isley, apareceu pela primeira vez na edição 81 da revistinha do Batman.</p>
<div id="attachment_1345" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 212px"><a href="http://cafecomritalina.wordpress.com/files/2009/10/poison-ivy.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-1345" title="poison ivy" src="http://cafecomritalina.wordpress.com/files/2009/10/poison-ivy.jpg" alt="Hera venenosa, sedutora e perigosa" width="202" height="448" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Hera venenosa, sedutora e perigosa</p></div>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Criada por Robert Kanigher, ela pode controlar plantas e acelerar ou desacelerar o crescimento das mesmas. É também virtualmente imune a qualquer coisa que os humanos possam considerar letal, incluindo bactérias, vírus, fungos e todos os formulários de venenos. Hera é especialista em plantas e nos venenos derivados delas. Além disso, tem o poder de expelir feromônios do amor e lábios venenosos.</p>
<div id="attachment_1346" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 241px"><a href="http://cafecomritalina.wordpress.com/files/2009/10/25556-poison-ivy_400.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-1346" title="25556-poison-ivy_400" src="http://cafecomritalina.wordpress.com/files/2009/10/25556-poison-ivy_400.jpg?w=231" alt="Verde de inveja... E lindamente sedutora." width="231" height="300" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Verde de inveja... E lindamente sedutora.</p></div>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Invejosa por natureza, aficionada pelo Batman, e amiga da Arlequina, Hera venenosa é uma assassina fria e desequilibrada emocionalmente.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Mas é uma personagem interessante. Seu nome, em inglês claro, figura também em uma canção escrita por Jerry Leiber e Mike Stoller, que ganhou uma versão nacional na voz de Rita Lee (que por acaso gosto muito)&#8230;</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><em><strong>Erva Venenosa (Poison Ivy)</strong></em></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Essa canção feita em 1959, foi cantada primeiramente por The Coaster, e logo depois virou um hit com os Golden Boys.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">A canção descreve uma garota chamada Ivy, chamando-a de &#8220;Poison Ivy&#8221; por causa de sua reputação com os homens. A canção faz referências a algumas flores como uma rosa e uma margarida, e doenças como o  sarampo, a papeira varicela, o resfriado comum, e coqueluche. Em uma recém-publicada biografia sobre Jerry Lieber e Mike Stoller, autores da canção, que foi revelado que a letra da canção é sobre doenças sexualmente transmissíveis, e não as doenças que se pensava anteriormente.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Sua primeira versão em português chegou ao Brasil na voz do grupo &#8220;Erva Doce&#8221;, no começo do anos 80. E em 2000, Rita Lee lança sua versão para a música, com um formato dançante e bem &#8220;James Brownsiana&#8221;, como gosta de dizer a própria cantora.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">O clipe, que é sobre a história de maldades dessa bruxa procurada pela polícia, a ‘Erva Venenosa’, conta com a participação da atriz Camila Morgado e da Julia Petti, uma famosa blogueira de moda.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Então, para finalizar este post venenoso, deixo vocês com o clipe de &#8220;Erva Venenosa&#8221;:</p>
<p><span style='text-align:center; display: block;'><object width='425' height='350'><param name='movie' value='http://www.youtube.com/v/gmJHgbiPLAE&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' /><param name='allowfullscreen' value='true' /><param name='wmode' value='transparent' /><embed src='http://www.youtube.com/v/gmJHgbiPLAE&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' type='application/x-shockwave-flash' allowfullscreen='true' width='425' height='350' wmode='transparent'></embed></object></span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">E meninas e meninos venenosos&#8230; Não esqueçam de andar com o soro anti-ofídico na bolsa, para que vocês não morram com o seu próprio veneno!<br />
Dica de uma garota venenosa&#8230;</p>
<div id="attachment_1347" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 346px"><a href="http://cafecomritalina.wordpress.com/files/2009/10/415m69cae4l-_ss500_.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-1347" title="415M69CAE4L._SS500_" src="http://cafecomritalina.wordpress.com/files/2009/10/415m69cae4l-_ss500_.jpg" alt="Sou &#60;em&#62;quase&#60;/em&#62; assim. É só colocar um cabelo castanho e diminuir um poucos as curvas e medidas..." width="336" height="336" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Sou quase assim. É só colocar um cabelo castanho e diminuir um poucos as curvas e medidas...</p></div>
<p style="text-align:justify;">E em nosso próximo encontro alotrópico, o veneno mata, mas já dizia o ditado, o que não mata engorda, então vamos à Comida!</p>

<blockquote><p>&#8211; Não creio que o sr. Pennington seja capaz de matar alguém. Ele me parece tão seco, tão gelado, como se não tivesse sangue nas veias&#8230;</p>
<p>&#8211; Creio que ele possui um forte instinto de preservação.</p>
<p>&#8211; Pode ser. E que diz da sra. Ottebourne, com seus ridículos turbantes ?</p>
<p>&#8211; Por vaidade&#8230;</p>
<p>&#8211; Vaidade ? Como motivo para um assassinato ? &#8212; perguntou a sra. Allerton, duvidando.</p>
<p>&#8211; Os motivos dos crimes são, às vezes, muito triviais, <em>madame</em>.</p>
<p>&#8211; Quais os mais comuns ?</p>
<p>&#8211; O dinheiro é o mais frequente. Isto é, o obtido das mais diferentes formas. E há a vingança&#8230; o amor, o medo, o ódio, a filantropia&#8230;</p>
<p>&#8211; M. Poirot !</p>
<p>&#8211; Não se espante, <em>madame</em>. Já vimos casos em que A matou B para que C pudesse lucrar. Se uma pessoa é considerada nociva para a civilização, sempre aparece alguém bem-intencionado para matá-la, esquecendo-se de que a morte e a vida são privilégios do bom Deus &#8212; concluiu Poirot, com gravidade.</p></blockquote>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><blockquote><p>&#8220;[A]t the very start, I made a grave error. I permitted my feeling—my very strong feeling about the letter to remain a mere impression. I treated it as though it had been an intuition. In a well-balanced, reasoning mind there is no such thing as an intuition—an inspired guess! You <em>can</em> guess, of course—and a guess is either right or wrong. If it is right you call it an intuition. If it is wrong, you usually do not speak of it again. But what is often called an intuition is really <em>an impression based on logical deduction or experience</em>. When an expert feels that there is something wrong about a picture or a piece of furniture or the signature on a cheque he is really basing that feeling on a host of small signs and details. He has no need to go into them minutely—his experience obviates that—the net result is <em>the definite impression that something is wrong</em>. But it is not a <em>guess</em>, it is an impression based on <em>experience</em>.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8212;<strong>Hercule Poirot</strong>, [<em>The ABC Murders</em>]</p></blockquote>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;<em>Les femmes</em>! They are marvellous! They invent haphazard—and by miracle they are right. Not that it is that, really. Women observe subconsciously a thousand little details, without knowing that they are doing so. Their subconscious mind adds these little things together—and they call the result intuition. Me, I am very skilled in psychology. I know these things.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8212;<strong>Hercule Poirot</strong>, [<em>The Murder of Roger Ackroyd</em>]</p></blockquote>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;One calls things by different names. I am quite ready to believe that you have noticed something, or heard something, that has definitely aroused in you anxiety. I think it possible that you yourself may not even know just what it is that you have seen or noticed or heard. You are aware only of the result. If I may so put it, you do not know what it is that you know. You may label that intuition if you like.&#8221;</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Si è svolto questa settimana a <strong>Cannes</strong> il consueto appuntamento autunnale con<img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-3593" title="mipcom" src="http://scavicchialanotizia.wordpress.com/files/2009/10/mipcom.jpg?w=300" alt="mipcom" width="300" height="194" /> il <strong>MIPCOM</strong> dove i <strong>buyers internazionali</strong> si <strong>scambiano</strong> idee, acquistano e vendono prodotti e siglando accordi internazionali.</p>
<p>Vediamo qui alcuni accordi riguardanti <strong>l&#8217;Italia</strong>:</p>
<p><!--more--></p>
<p>-<strong> La 7</strong> ha acquistato i diritti delle serie 12 e 13 de <strong>L&#8217;Ispettore Barnaby</strong> (8 episodi in totale) e ha anche riacquistato i diritti delle prime 5 serie per replicarle. Barnaby si conferma quindi uno dei punti fermi di La 7.</p>
<p>- <strong>Mediaset</strong> (presumibilmente destinati come sempre a Rete 4) ha comprato la serie 11 di <strong>Poirot</strong>. Si tratta di 4 tv movie tratti dai seguenti romanzi: Macabro quiz; Fermate il boia, Sono un&#8217;assassina? e Appuntamento con la morte.</p>
<p>- <strong>Fox Italy</strong> si è assicurata i diritti di tre serie: la canadese<strong> I misteri di Murdoch</strong> (già passata questa estate senza grande risonanza su Rai 3), l&#8217;inglese <strong>Bonekickers</strong> (dai creatori di Life on Mars) e il classico con Roger Moore e Tony Curtis<strong> The Persuaders</strong>.<br />
Fox Italy ha anche acquistato 40 ore di dramma made in ITV (inclusi i diritti satellitari di <strong>Barnaby</strong>, il resto non è stato specificato) e 40 puntate di <strong>Squadra Speciale Lipsia.</strong></p>
<p><strong>-La Rai ha acquistato 8 tv movie tedeschi del ciclo &#8220;Das Traumschiff&#8221;. In pratica</strong> una crociera dell&#8217;amore versione teutonica. Tanta <strong>melassa</strong> e relativo mal di denti.</p>
<p>-Infine la <strong>Rai</strong> ha rinnovato per <strong>3 anni</strong> il contratto con <strong>CBS Studios International</strong>. Il contratto prevede oltre alla produzione televisiva anche quella cinematrografica.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><strong><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-839" title="logo-siamoinonda" src="http://pallido.wordpress.com/files/2009/10/logo-siamoinonda.gif" alt="logo-siamoinonda" width="200" height="200" /></strong></p>
<p><strong>Una piccola curiosità noir&#8230;</strong></p>
<p>Cari amici della radio e del giallo,</p>
<p>lo sapevate che il primo libro di Agatha Christie è &#8220;Poirot a Styles Court&#8221;?</p>
<p>Proprio così: l&#8217;esordio letterario della signora del mistero risale al lontano 1920 quando, udite udite, svolgeva ancora la professione di infermiera&#8230; Visto il successo, nulla da dire: la dolce Agatha ha fatto davvero bene a posare la siringa per prendere in mano la penna!</p>
<p><em><img class="alignleft" src="http://giotto.ibs.it/cop/copt13.asp?f=9788804508557" alt="" width="80" height="126" /><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Poirot a Styles Court &#8211; Il romanzo in sintesi</span></em></p>
<p><em>Il tenente Hastings viene invitato da John Cavendisfh, amico di vecchia data, a trascorrere qualche giorno insieme a lui e alla sua famiglia. Qualcuno avvelena la ricca matrigna di John, che viene immediatamente arrestato, perchè senza alibi e con un movente economico non da sottovalutare. L&#8217;arrogante e saccente detective Hercule Poirot ha, però, più di un dubbio e inizia la sua ricerca. L&#8217;esordio letterario di Madama Agatha Christie è di quelli da urlo, grazie ad un Poirot in forma straordinaria, aiutato brillantemente dal capace Hastings.</em></p>
<p>A presto (ovvero a sabato 10 ottobre!) e&#8230; buon noir a tutti!</p>

Where are one&#8217;s little grey cells when one needs them, what what&#8230;</p>
<p><a href="http://www.agathachristie.com/home-uk/christie-week-2009-1/">September 13-20th</a> was a week-long celebration of Dame Aggie, her long and extraordinary prolific career; over forty events were scheduled both in London and on the self-styled <a href="http://www.englishriviera.co.uk/">&#8220;English Riviera&#8221;</a>, her hometown of Torquay. The best-selling author of all time with two billion books worldwide and over 80 novels and short-story collections published (stick that in your pipe and smoke it Alexander McCall Smith) she is of course best known for her dandified Belgian detective <a href="http://christchurchcitylibraries.com/Catalogue/keyword.asp?SU+poirot+hercule">Poirot</a> and the shrewd, perpetually knitting <a href="http://christchurchcitylibraries.com/Catalogue/keyword.asp?SU+marple+jane">Miss Marple</a>.</p>
<p>Two new Poirot stories and 73 notebooks detailing un-used ideas and alternative story endings have recently been published by <a href="http://christchurchcitylibraries.com/Catalogue/keyword.asp?john+curran+agatha">John Curran</a> in <em><a href="http://christchurchcitylibraries.com/Catalogue/keyword.asp?agatha+christie's+secret+notebooks">Agatha Christie&#8217;s secret notebooks: Fifty years of mysery in the making</a>. </em>Not everyone agrees these books were exactly &#8220;secret&#8221; but they do apparently give new insights into the Christie writing process. Curran also acted as consultant to the National Trust  during the restoration of <a href="http://www.nationaltrust.org.uk/main/w-vh/w-visits/w-findaplace/w-greenway/" target="_blank">Greenway House</a>, Dame Agatha&#8217;s holiday home in Devon, which opened for the first time to the public this year.</p>
<p>Christchurch City Libraries has just purchased several of the <a href="http://christchurchcitylibraries.com/Catalogue/keyword.asp?hercule+poirot+dvd">Poirot television series</a> featuring the incomparable David Suchet as Poriot and trusty sidekicks Inspector Japp, Hastings and the almost, dare I say, librarian-ish Miss Lemon. The 1930s modernist decor and fashions are divine and a host of well-known British actors pace in out of the stylish sets smoking furiously while pleading their innocence.</p>
<p>Miss Marple tales are also available on <a href="http://christchurchcitylibraries.com/Catalogue/keyword.asp?miss+marple+dvd">DVD</a> featuring both Geraldine McEwan and lovely, fluffy Joan Hickson as the eponymous heroine. The Geraldine McEwan versions play a little fast and loose with the original stories but are all jolly good fun.</p>
<p><a href="http://christchurchcitylibraries.com/Catalogue/keyword.asp?François+Rivière+secret+of+chimneys"></a><a href="http://christchurchcitylibraries.com/Catalogue/keyword.asp?François+Rivière+secret+of+chimneys"><img class="alignright" title="The secret of Chimneys" src="http://librarydata.christchurch.org.nz/html/covers/9780007250592.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="200" /></a>However if this all sounds drearily old hat <a href="http://christchurchcitylibraries.com/Catalogue/keyword.asp?François+Rivière+christie">François Rivière&#8217;s</a> comic strip adaptations of several Christie stories including <em>Murder on the Orient Express, The Secret of Chimneys, The secret adversary, Murder on the links and Death on the Nile</em> are an interesting take on the classic tales.</p>
<p>As part of the Guardian&#8217;s coverage of Agatha week they posed the question <a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/books/quiz/2009/sep/14/agatha-christie-quiz">&#8220;How well do you know Agatha Christie?&#8221;</a><br />
&#8230;the answer dear reader is extraordinarily well.. I got 11 out of 11..nah-nah-nah-nah!</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><a href="http://www.amazon.de/Rauhnacht-Kluftingers-neuer-Volker-Kl%C3%BCpfel/dp/3492052045/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&#38;s=books&#38;qid=1259341830&#38;sr=1-1" target="_blank"><img class="aligncenter size-thumbnail wp-image-426" title="rauhnacht" src="http://woerterkatze.wordpress.com/files/2009/09/rauhnacht.jpg?w=94" alt="rauhnacht" width="94" height="150" /></a></p>
<p><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Klappentext: </span><br />
Eigentlich sollte es für die Kluftingers ein erholsamer Kurzurlaub werden, auch wenn das Ehepaar Langhammer mit von der Partie ist: ein Winterwochenende in einem schönen Allgäuer Berghotel samt einem Live-Kriminalspiel. Doch aus dem Spiel wird blutiger Ernst, als ein Hotelgast unfreiwillig das Zeitliche segnet. Kluftinger steht vor einem Rätsel: Die Leiche befindet sich in einem von innen verschlossenen Raum. Und über Nacht löst ein Schneesturm höchste Lawinenwarnstufe aus und schneidet das Hotel von der Außenwelt ab. Kommissar Kluftinger ist ganz auf sich gestellt. Das heißt: fast. Denn Doktor Langhammer mischt bei den Ermittlungen kräftig mit. Und das alles während der berüchtigten Rauhnächte, von denen man sich hier in den Bergen grausige Geschichten von bösen Mächten erzählt.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Inhalt:</span><br />
Kluftinger und Langhammer werden nebst Gattin zu einem Krimiwochende in einem Allgäuer Berghotel eingeladen. Was sich wie ein lustiger Spaß anhört, wird leider Ernst. Denn ein Gast wird tot in seinem verschlossenen Zimmer aufgefunden und Kommissar Kluftinger und Doktor Langhammer stehen vor einem Rätsel. Denn wie konnte der Täter entkommen? Für Kluftinger beginnt die Zeit des Ermittelns und Nachforschens und dies ist dieses Mal nicht so einfach, denn er hat viele mögliche Täter, viele mögliche Tatmotive und ihm fehlen seine Kollegen mit dem Polizeiapparat. Hilfe von dieser Seite kann er nicht erwarten, denn es besteht höchste Lawinengefahrt und so mit muss er ganz allein mit dem überaus &#8220;hilfreichen&#8221; Doktor Langhammer den Täter auf die Spur kommen. Ein Vorteil hat das ganze, der Täter kann ihm nicht entwischen, da der Pass unpassierbar ist.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Meinung:</span><br />
Kluftinges fünfter Fall ist ein sehr schönes Kriminalstück ganz im Stile der klassischen Krimistücke à la Agatha Christie mit ihrem Protagonisten Hercule Poirot. Mir hat die Szenerie und die Handlung sehr gut gefallen, es wurde wieder alles sehr bildhaft dargestellt und man konnte richtig mit ermitteln. Kluftinger kommt einfach richtig sympathisch rüber und ich musste sehr oft schmunzeln über seine berühmten Eigenheiten. Sei es wieviel Geld steht dem Kofferträger als Trinkgeld zu, seine Eskapaden am Frühstücksbuffet oder seine Probleme am Computer. All dies macht Kluftinger sympathisch und dass er auch mehr oder weniger gut Doktor Langhammer erträgt, kann man gut nachvollziehen. Zusammen ergeben die beiden ein sehr gutes Duo und ich musste vor allem wegen den Disputen zwischen den beiden oft Lachen. Die Überführung des Mörders und auch den anschließenden Schluss hat mir sehr gut gefallen. Wer Kluftinger und den Erzählstil von Volker Klüpfl und Michael Kobr mag oder ein Freund von Regionalkrimis ist,  ist dieses Buch sehr zu empfehlen.</p>

<p>Emily Boynton, la belle-mère de trois grands enfants, continue à les martyriser après la mort de son mari (leur père). Ayant fait détruire le dernier testament qui leur léguait une partie de la fortune familiale, elle garde la tutelle de tous les biens et une vraie emprise sur eux. Pour leur « changer les idées », elle offre à toute sa famille en deuil une croisière à travers la Méditerranée vers la Palestine, sous mandat britannique, puis à Jérusalem. Par hasard à bord, Hercule Poirot, en vacances, entend de curieuses menaces envers Emily Boynton. À sa mort brutale, il enquête personnellement sur le cas Boynton aidé par son ami le Colonel Carbury.</h4>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><!--more--></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><em>Rendez-vous avec la mort</em> est un film policier adapté du roman éponyme d&#8217;Agatha Christie. Peter Ustinov rempile dans le rôle d&#8217;Hercule Poirot, après <em>Mort sur le Nil</em> et <em>Meurtre au soleil</em> (et également trois  téléfilms<em> </em>).</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Dans la VF, ce n&#8217;est pas le cas de Roger Carel, dont l&#8217;absence se fait remarquer et fait du rôle d&#8217;Ustinov un personnage beaucoup moins sympathique et moins profond qu&#8217;il l&#8217;avait été précédemment.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">
<div id="attachment_1742" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 210px"><a href="http://cinephil.wordpress.com/files/2009/09/apointmentmx9.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-1742" title="apointmentmx9" src="http://cinephil.wordpress.com/files/2009/09/apointmentmx9.jpg?w=200" alt="Affiche américaine" width="200" height="300" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Affiche américaine</p></div>
<p>En dehors de ce détail, l&#8217;histoire est différente du <a href="http://cinephil.wordpress.com/2009/08/22/hercule-poirot-rendez-vous-avec-la-mort/">téléfilm de la série</a> (avec David Suchet) et du roman d&#8217;Agatha Christie. Des personnages apparaissent, d&#8217;autres disparaissent, le meurtrier n&#8217;est plus le même selon les versions. Ce sont des histoires très différentes.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><em>Rendez-vous avec la mort</em> est un bon divertissement, (mais qui aurait été encore meilleure avec la présence de Roger Carel).</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>När man sett en massa nyproducerade tv-deckare som byggts upp kring Agatha Christies stora centralgestalter Miss Marple och Hercule Poirot börjar man bli osäker på vad hon egentligen har skrivit och vad som är fria konstruktioner på den grund som hon lagt med sina böcker. En del intriger är ju så platta eller dåliga att man genast inser att de inte har något att göra med den verkliga Agatha Christie.</p>
<p>Vill man möta henne bortom romanerna ska man uppenbarligen läsa John Currans nyutkomna <em>Agatha Christie&#8217;s secret notebooks. </em>Den bygger på 73 anteckningsböcker som Agatha Christie lämnat efter sig. Här kan man bland många trivialt vardagliga notiser också följa hennes intensiva arbete med att konstruera mordintriger. Och hon var i det avseendet otroligt produktiv.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-999" title="secretnotebooks" src="http://tidenstecken.wordpress.com/files/2009/09/secretnotebooks.jpg" alt="secretnotebooks" width="153" height="240" /></p>
<p>Curran noterar att man kan läsa en deckare av hennes hand varje månad under sju år innan man hunnit igenom hennes bidrag till världslitteraturen.</p>
<p>För visst är det världslitteratur även om många rynkar på näsan åt deckare (och särskilt Agatha Christies massproduktion). Men i <a href="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1208212/Unseen-60-years-Mail-proudly-present-Agatha-Christies-lost-masterpiece-The-Capture-Cerberus.html">The Daily Mail</a> tog den kände författaren A.N. Wilson henne nyligen i försvar:</p>
<blockquote><p>Literary snobs like to denigrate Christie. They say the stories are wooden. What they mean by this is that they have a firm structure. They actually conform to the great classical literature of the past.</p>
<p>In the collection of stories she gathered together for The Labours Of Hercules, Christie closely followed the original Greek myths.</p>
<p>Not only did she name her little Belgian detective Hercule, but she saw a direct connection between him and Hercules, the demigod who occupied a role a bit like that of Christ in Greek mythology.</p>
<p>Hercules was not just a he-man, he was a problem-solver just like Poirot and Miss Marple. It&#8217;s almost as if they are angels from another planet who come and resolve moral problems and criminal puzzles for us.</p>
<p>We come to Agatha Christie&#8217;s stories from lives which are muddled and messy, and from a world in which real murders are horrifying and bloody.</p>
<p>By the end, order has been restored to the universe, and to our hearts. She is the most consoling of all English writers, and although there have been many marvellous authors in the sphere of crime fiction, she is rightly considered the Queen.</p></blockquote>

<p><em>Agatha &#8211; The Queen</em></p>
<p>Problemet med denna brottets drottning är väl annars idag att hennes namn just missbrukas av en mediaindustri som säljer underhållning under falskt namn. Plus att vi mer och mer identifierar hennes gestalter med de skådespelare som vi oftast ser i tv-rutan. David Suchet har för många numera blivit inkarnationen av Hercule Poirot trots att den skarpsinnige belgiske detektiven för andra främst förknippas med Peter Ustinov som spelade rollen i inte mindre än sex filmer.</p>
<p>Och vem vill inte helst minnas Margaret Rutherford som miss Marple snarare än senare mer eteriska rollgestaltare?</p>
<p>Det blir en personlighetsklyvning som i slutändan lämnar tittaren en aning förvirrad.<br />
