このコンテンツについて
The Occident’s fascination with the Orient, which, for many centuries Ottoman Istanbul represented, continued into the twentieth century with the introduction of the Orient Express in 1883, which ran services from Paris to Istanbul for the next 80 years (1883-1977), briefly pausing during World War I.
The Orient Express provided European writers the means to explore exotic world of the Ottoman Orient. The Orient in Christie’s novels serves as a backdrop without contributing to plot development. Using it as a backdrop to her setting, Christie exoticises the Orient for the Westerners. Since Mesopotamia was a British Mandate from 1918 to 1932, Agatha Christie’s Western characters are merely observers who view everything through Eurocentric prisms.
