Auteur

  • Agatha Christie (auteur)

    Agatha Christie est sans nul doute l'une des romancières les plus appréciées de son temps. Autrice de quatre-vingt-quatre ouvrages, d'une vingtaine de pièces de théâtre et de plusieurs recueils de nouvelles, elle est parvenue à faire de ses oeuvres des grands succès du xxe siècle, lues partout dans le monde (plus de 2 milliards d'exemplaires vendus).
  • Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, immense écrivain anglais, est notamment le père de Sherlock Holmes. Médecin, il s’engage dans la guerre entre l’Angleterre et les Boers, dont il est le premier à raconter dans le détail ce dur conflit colonial.
  • Edgar Allan Poe (auteur)

    Le nom d’Edgar Allan Poe est indissociable de celui de Charles Baudelaire, tant est grande la part du poète français dans sa reconnaissance en France. L’auteur des Fleurs du mal a traduit les Histoires extraordinaires de l’écrivain américain, dans lesquelles on trouve des mystères, des énigmes plus ou moins policières et des récits marqués par le fantastique. Edgar Poe naquit en 1809 aux États-Unis, et mourut en 1849 dans des circonstances mal éclaircies.

  • Dorothy Leigh Sayers (1893-1957) compte parmi les reines incontestées de l’âge d’or du roman policier anglais. Après de brillantes études à Oxford, elle séjourne en France comme professeur d’anglais. De retour à Londres, elle travaille dans une agence de publicité, puis s’intéresse aux mouvements socialistes qui façonnent la société anglaise de l’Entre-deux-guerres avant de publier en 1923 son premier roman, Lord Peter et l’inconnu, mettant en scène l’aristocratique détective Lord Peter Wimsey. Elle apporte un ton humoristique au traditionnel roman d’énigme, quelques traits acérés contre la société bien-pensante de l’époque, et affuble son héros d’une vie sentimentale. À partir de 1940, elle se consacre à sa passion, la littérature médiévale.
