It's hardly a surprise that Agatha Christie as one of the best authors of detective novels out there made it to our top ten books list. She is well known for her excellent plots and surprising endings. She created a bit of a fuss by originally calling this book "Ten Little Niggers" - the name was changed to the current And Then There Were None so that it is not offensive towards Afro-Americans.
作为最好的侦探小说家之一的阿加莎克里斯蒂,她的书在我们前十的名单中并不意外。她的书以优秀的情节和意外的结局而闻名。 该书最初的名字叫《十个小黑人》,这给她带来了些麻烦。- 后来书名改成了《无人生还》,这样就不会有冒犯非裔美国人之嫌了。(译者注:Niggers在美国黑人中是个非常忌讳的词)
And what's going on in this book? Simply put, ten people of different social classes are invited to an island where they are accused of murders and they start dying, one by one - but you'll have to read it yourself, we all know it's a bad idea to talk about plots too much when it comes to detective stories.
这本书到底讲了什么?简单的说,就是10个来自不同阶层的人被邀请到一个岛上,在那里,他们被指控谋杀,开始一个一个的死去 - 你得自己去看,讨论过多的情节对侦探小说来说可不是个好主意,你懂得。
