We have read dozens of mystery novels. We also know the character creation detective, Hercule Poirot, the same termashyurnya with Sherlock Holmes. But the most famous mystery created by Agatha Christie is not contained in one of his novels, but occurs in real life. In 1926, he disappeared for 11 days and this mystery arguably can not be answered with a perfect until the next 80 years.
Agatha Christie was born on 15 September 1890 under the name Agatha Mary Clarissa Miller. At first, he was living the life as an author of romantic novels under the pseudonym Mary Westmacott . But he was later known as the author of 80 mystery novels that are dominated by two unique characters, the Belgian detective,Hercule Poirot , and an elderly woman named Miss Jane Marple who also has the ability detective.
In 1914, she married Archibald Christie , a fighter pilot, and live an unhappy marriage because her husband started an affair with a woman named Nancy Neele .
In 1919, she gave birth to her only child, named Rosalind . In 1920, the year when her husband began an affair, he published his first mystery novel with a character famous detective Hercule Poirot, entitled " The Mysterious Affair at Styles "or"Murder at Styles ".
This novel, then lift the name of Agatha Christie to be one well-known writers in English, in line with Sir Arthur Conan Doyle .
Then a mystery really happen in real life, Agatha Christie.
It all starts on Friday December 8, 1926. At that time, Christie has written six novels, where one of them ' The Murder of Roger Ackroyd "became one best seller.
At 21:45, Christie was at her home in Berkshire. Then, he went upstairs, kissed his daughter, Rosalind, who was sleeping and meninggakan a note to his secretary who said that he intends to go to Yorkshire. He got into the car and drive it out of the house.
Some time later, Morris Cowley car which host is found empty near a lake at the intersection of Newlands near Guildford. There was no sign of Christie. The police immediately investigate this case.
Over the next 11 days, all over England are filled with news that the author's disappearance. Even The New York Times also includes this news on its main page.more than 15,000 volunteers helped search for his existence. And for the first time in history, aircraft used to help search for missing persons.
Remarkably, all the elements of mystery stories that can be found in Christie's novel can also be found on this incident.
For example, his car was found near a lake called " The Silent Pool ", which is the location of the death of a young girl and her older brother who drowned. Many believe, Christie, might have committed suicide by plunging into the lake. However, police are checking the whole lake can not find her body.
Since Christie was a mystery writer, many have surmised that the action of the author's disappearance is merely an act of publicity to promote his novels.
Others suspect that Christie may have been murdered by her husband, Archie Christie unfaithful.
So the furor that was created for 11 days.
If that disappears is a normal society, probably would not attract so much attention.But because Christie has become a very prominent figure, the interior minister at the time, William Joynson-Hicks, as to urge the police to work harder this case reveals.
Even his fellow mystery writer, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle , who created the characterSherlock Holmes , and Dorothy L Sayers , author of mystery series Lord Peter Wimsey , also react.
Conan Doyle, known as someone who is interested in the paranormal world and even take Christie's glove and gave it to a medium (psychic), while Sayers investigate this case by visiting the location of Christie's disappearance. Later, Sayers wrote a novel titled " Unnatural Death "based on this incident.
Eleven days after Christie disappeared, the excitement was over. He was found safe. But it becomes more mysterious because the conditions that accompany the invention.
During the disappearance, Christie was staying at the hotel Hydropathic Swan in Harrogate using a different name, Teresa Neele .
Some of the guests recognized him as the Agatha Christie of the photos posted in the newspaper. But when asked, he just laughed. So a suspicious clerk immediately called police who then invited her husband, Archie Christie, to identify it. When she saw her husband, first sentence that comes out of the mouth Christie is' Fancy, my brother has just arrived '.
Agatha Christie and her husband were questioned by police. However, Christie who then began to realize, admit that he does not understand why he could stay at the hotel using a different name.
The case was then not renewed because the police thought that Christie has suffered amnesia. But the real answer to this case is never really revealed. Was Agatha Christie have amnesia? Whether this is an intentional act?
There are three most popular theories about the cause of the incident.
First, Christie may deliberately did all that as publicity to popularize his novels. This is reinforced by the existence of elements found in the mystery disappearance.
Second, Christie do it intentionally as a protest because her husband plan to spend the weekend with a mistress in a house near the site of abandoned car.
This theory is actually very plausible. On December 8, the same night before Christie disappeared, they fight because her husband tells his intentions are. In fact, not only as a protest, Christie may have disappeared with the purpose of making him ashamed of it as a murder suspect. If this aim, it seems he was quite successful as long as he disappeared, police are checking Archie intensively considering that he has a motive for the affair. The police even followed and bugged his home telephone.
This theory is also strengthened by the fact that Christie has been registered at the hotel with the name of Teresa Neele, a name that has the same last name with her husband's infidelities, Nancy Neele.
The third theory and most recently came from Andrew Norman, a physician and biographer Christie.
According to him, the novelist may have what is called " Fugue State "or technically can be called" Psycogenic Trance "or amnesia caused by trauma, stress or depression.
It is a theory which is also quite reasonable considering in 1926, the night when it disappeared, She and her husband quarrel, even her husband had asked for a divorce from him. This adds to depression because of the new Christie's mother died a year earlier.
Norman, who spent some time to study the life of Christie found indications that she may indeed have a mental condition which is rare.
" This condition, which is more understandable in the present, according to the symptoms that Christie's held during his stay in Harrogate , "said Norman.
In his book " The Finished Portrait "which was published in 2006. Norman writes that the use of his new name and its own failure to identify his picture in the paper shows that the novelist had been experiencing psychogenic amnesia after a period of prolonged depression.
" Nature has a tendency to commit suicide , "said Norman. " his mental condition is very low at that time. And maybe that's why he wrote about a character named Celia in his autobiography novel Unfinished Portrait . "
Theory Andrew Norman widely regarded as the best explanation for the disappearance of Agatha Christie mysteries.
However, However, still no one can ever know for sure the answer is because Agatha Christie himself declined to discuss the incident until his death in 1976 in Oxfordshire. So, this is an episode from the life of her own mystery novelist.
In 1928, Agatha Christie a divorce from Archie and married to Sir Max Mallowan , an archaeologist. During his life, he wrote some 80 novels. His novel has been translated into 104 languages and sold more than 2 billion copies. This makes the Guinness Book of World Records menganugerahkannya as " the best-selling author in history "and" best-selling authors in all categories . "
Until now, no one can replace his position as " The Queen of Crime ", the woman best-selling mystery writer in the world.
