The telephone has liberated us from neighborhood boundaries. It lets us play and work together over long distances. Long before the computer, its communication potentials helped change our society. Claude Fischer documents the planned decisions--and the unplanned events--that made the telephone such an important instrument for connecting America."--Barry Wellman, University of Toronto "Fischer confronts the most significant, but also the most difficult, question we can ask about a new technology--what differences did it make in the lives of its users'. . .

Just after midnight, a snowdrift stops the famous Orient Express in its tracks as it travels through the mountainous Balkans. The luxurious train is surprisingly full for the time of the year but, by the morning, it is one passenger fewer.

The most popular novel of the mythical detective Hercule Poirot. In an isolated place in the former Yugoslavia, in the middle of the night, a heavy snow storm hampers the railway line where the Orient Express runs. Coming from the exotic Istanbul, detective Hercule Poirot travels in it, who suddenly comes across one of the most disconcerting cases of his career: Samuel E. Ratchett has been murdered in the neighboring compartment while he was sleeping, despite the fact that no evidence reveals a concrete mobile. Poirot will take advantage of the situation to investigate among the occupants of the car, who clearly should be the only possible perpetrators of the crime. One victim, twelve suspects and a privileged mind in search of the truth.

Just after midnight, a snowstorm stops the Orient Express dead in its tracks in the middle of Yugoslavia. The luxurious train is surprisingly full for this time of year. But by morning there is one passenger less. A 'respectable American gentleman' lies dead in his compartment, stabbed a dozen times, his door locked from the inside . . . Hercule Poirot is also aboard, having arrived in the nick of time to claim a second-class compartment -- and the most astounding case of his illustrious career.

.

Hercule Poirot wakens in the night when the express train has come to an unexplained stop. In the morning, the man in the next compartment is found dead, stabbed repeatedly. And since the snow outside was unbroken, the murderer must still be on the train.

In 1935, when his train is stopped by deep snow, detective Hercule Poirot is called on to solve a murder that occurred in his car the night before.

After deciding to take the Orient Express, Hercule Poirot awakes the next morning and discovers that an American named Ratchet was savagely stabbed during the night; apparently the murderer is one of the occupants of the sleeper train.

"The murderer is with uson the train now . . .

What starts out as a lavish train ride through Europe quickly unfolds into one of the most stylish, suspenseful and thrilling mysteries ever told. The tale of thirteen strangers stranded on a train, where everyone is a suspect ... 1935: On its three-day journey across Europe, the famous Orient Express suddenly comes to a halt. The line is blocked by snowdrifts. Detective Hercule Poirot is awakened by a loud groan from the next cabin and the following morning an American millionaire is found dead, stabbed repeatedly. Poirot hopes to find the killer before the local police arrive - the killer that is still aboard, trapped by the snow.

Fiction. Mystery. A Russian princess, a Hungarian count, a Swedish beauty, and an assortment of Americans, English and French are brought together on the elegant Orient Express. A brutal murder and an unexpected blizzard bring in the vacationing Hercule Poirot. The results are excellent. This BBC Radio dramatization is as thought-provoking as the original. The vocal characterizations, as diverse as the characters themselves, are appropriately dramatic. Actor John Moffatt is a forceful Poirot and leads the ensemble with style. With its attention to dialects, incidental music and pace, this is the perfect audio presentation for a road trip or a cozy day by a warm fire. M.R. (c)AudioFile, Portland, Maine. HTML:

Nach einigen Mühen hat Hercule Poirot ein Abteil im Kurswagen Istanbul - Calais des Luxuszugs ergattert.

Mit HERCULE POIROT im ORIENTEXPRESS Eigentlich mu� Hercule Poirot rasch mit dem Luxuszug von Istanbul nach London, doch bleibt der Orientexpress im Schnee stecken. Als einer der Passagiere erstochen wird, bleibt dem belgischen Meisterdetektiv nicht viel Zeit, den M�rder zu entlarven.

Eigentlich wollte Hercule Poirot die Fahrt in dem weltber©ơhmten Luxuszug genie©en, aber seine Mitreisenden verderben ihm das Vergn©ơgen gr©ơndlich.

EN RYSK PRINSESSA, EN UNGERSK GREVE OCH EN SVENSK SKÖNHET I en av litteraturhistoriens mest klassiska deckare reser en spektakulär skara tillsammans på den exklusiva Orientexpressen från Istanbul till Calais. För en av tågets passagerare ska resan bli den sista. När tåget fastnar i en snöstorm i bergen på Balkan uppdagas ett bestialiskt mord. Ombord i den luxuösa förstaklassvagnen finns lika många misstänkta som resenärer – men också Hercule Poirot. Mordet på Orientexpressen utkom år 1934 och översattes omedelbart till svenska. Flera generationer och en ny världskarta senare är Agatha Christies mästerligt komponerade intrig lika fascinerande. Skuld, rädsla och hämnd är universella teman som fortsätter att beröra människan. I nyöversättning av Helen Ljungmark har Agatha Christies romaner fått en enhetlighet som spänner över författarskapet. Förlegade begrepp har moderniserats utan att böckerna har förlorat en språklig förankring till den tid då de skrevs. Samtidigt har en brittisk underfundighet som tidigare förbisetts lyfts fram. Agatha Christies romaner har sedan flera år varit out-of-print. Med start hösten 2014 kommer nyöversättningar ut av den stora deckarförfattarinnans verk. Först ut är: Mordet på Orientexpressen och Huset på udden i september 2014 följt av Och så var de bara en i november, Poirots jul i december och Döden på Nilen, Badortsmysteriet, Fem små grisar och Miss Marples mysterier under 2015. Serien är formgiven av Sara R. Acedo och ges ut av Bookmark Förlag. [Publit]
