Endless Night, Agatha Christie Every night and every morn, Some to misery are born, Every morn and every night, Some are born to sweet delight. Some are born to sweet delight, Some are born to endless night. William BlakeThe story begins with Michael telling us about his time as a chauffeur and how he met the architect Rudolph Santonix. He plans to one day have a house built by Santonix. Michael is walking along a village road near the Gipsy's Acre property one day when he meets Ellie, a wealthy heiress who wants to escape from her world of snobby friends, begging relatives, and restrictive financial advisors. As it turns out Ellie had purchased Gipsy's Acre before they met, they decide to marry and build a house at Gipsy's Acre acre with Santonix. The newlywed couple decide to go around the village meeting its residents but are threatened by an old gypsy woman, Mrs Lee, who warns them and instructs them to leave because of a curse.Ellie sustains an injury and invites her companion, Greta Andersen, over to stay with them. Ellie begins to worry about Mike and Greta, as they get into heated arguments. While at lunch with Major Philpot, Mike begins to worry about the fact that Ellie has not yet joined them after going out horse riding. The next day, they find Ellie dead and having sustained no apparent injuries, the local police determine that Ellie died of shock, likely induced when she encountered Mrs Lee. Ellie also had a heart condition. Michael travels to America to attend Ellie’s funeral with her family and collect the inheritance. While there he hears that Mrs Lee has been found dead in a quarry, and Claudia Hardcastle (one of Ellie’s friends from the village) has also died whilst out riding. After Ellie's funeral, Mike goes to visit Santonix on his deathbed. Right before Santonix dies, he screams, “You should have gone the other way!” Feeling disturbed by this, Mike returns to the UK on a sea voyage to give him time to reflect. ...نخستین خوانش: ماه ژانویه سال 2001میلادیعنوان: شب بی پایان؛ نویسنده: آگاتا کریستی (میلر)؛ مترجم: رکسانا یغمائی؛ شیراز، نوید شیراز، 1370؛ در 169ص؛ موضوع داستانهای پلیسی کارآگاهی از نویسندگان بریتانیا - سده 20معنوان: شب بی پایان؛ نویسنده: آگاتا کریستی (میلر)؛ مترجم: مجتبی عبدالله نژاد؛ تهران، هرمس (کارآگاه)، 1380؛ در 278ص؛ شابک9647100485؛ چاپ دوم 1384؛ چاپ سوم 1387؛ شابک 9789647100489؛ چاپ پنجم 1393؛ چاپ ششم 1399؛عنوان: ظلمت ابدی؛ نویسنده: آگاتا کریستی؛ ترجمه سپیده حبیبی؛ تهران، نگارش الکترونیک، 1395؛ در 44ص؛ هر شبانگاه و هر سپیده دمانپا گذارند مردمی به جهانکه بود سهمشان غم و حرمانهر شبانگاه و هر سپیده دمانپا گذارند مردمی به جهانعده ای را نصیب شادی و شور، عده ای را شبان بی پایانویلیام بلیک چاپ نخستین از این داستان: «شب بی پایان»، اثر «آگاتا کریستی»، در سال 1967میلادی، و در 224ص، در «کلوب کالینز کرایم» «لندن» بوده است؛ داستان جوانی به نام «مایکل روجرز» را بازگو می‌کند، که با دختر ثروتمندی آشنا شده، و با او ازدواج می‌کند؛ پس از ازدواج، «مایکل» و همسرش، خانه‌ ای از دوره ی «ویکتوریا» را خریداری می‌کنند؛ خانه‌ ای که به نظر مردمان منطقه، زمین‌های اطرافش «کولی آباد» نام گرفته؛ و نفرین شده است؛ ...؛نقل از آغاز متن: (آغاز من در انجام من است؛ عبارتی است که بارها از زبان مردم شنیده ام؛ درست هم به نظر میرسد؛ ولی راستی به چه معناست؟ آیا نقطه بخصوصی هست که بتوان بر آن انگشت گذاشت و گفت: «ماجرا همه از این روز آغاز شد، از این لحظه بخصوص و در این جای بخصوص و با این حادثه بخصوص؟...»؛ ماجرای من شاید از آنجا آغاز شد که چشمم به آگهی فروش افتاد، که بر دیوار فروشگاه «جورج اَند دراگون»، نصب بود و خبر از فروش مزایده ای ملک قیمتی و ارزشمند «بروج» میداد، و ضمن توصیف جزئیات مساحت آن به میل و فرلانگ، با تصویری کاملاً ایده آل از عمارت «بروج» همراه بود؛ تصویری که شاید مال نخستین سالهای احداث آن در حدود هشتاد تا صد سال پیش بود؛ کار خاصی نداشتم؛ همین طور در خیابان اصلی کینگستون بیشاپ، که دهکده ای است کاملاً بی اهمیت و معمولی، قدم میزدم و وقت تلف میکردم، چشمم به آگهی فروش افتاد؛ چرا؟ دست تقدیر در کار طرح دسیسه ای بود، یا سهم مرا از شادی و خوشبختی به من ارزانی داشت؟ هر طور که خواستید حساب کنیدیا شاید بتوان گفت که ماجرا همه از زمانی آغاز شد که «سانتونیکس» را دیدم و با او حرف زدم؛ میتوانم چشمهایم را ببندم و گونه های شاداب و چشمهای براق، و حرکت دستهای قوی، و در عین حال ظریفش را، که نقشه ها و نقشه نماهای خانه ها را رسم میکرد و میکشید، ببینم؛ مخصوصا یکی از آن خانه ها که خانه ای فوق العاده زیبا بود و داشتنش برای من رویایی بود!؛آرزوی داشتن خانه ای، خانه ای زیبا و قشنگ، خانه ای که هرگز امید داشتنش را نداشتم، همان روزها بود که در من بیدار شد؛ رویای شاد و مسرّت آوری مشترک میان ما بود، خانه ای که سانتونیکس برای من میساخت، اگر چندان عمر میکرد؛ خانه ای که در خیالاتم با دختری که دوستش میداشتم در آن زندگی میکردم؛ خانه ای که مثل قهرمانان قصه های پریانِ کودکان، هر دو باید «از آن پس شاد و خوشبخت» در آن زندگی میکردیم؛ همه هم خیالات، همه هم پوچ، ولی بیانگر بیدار شدن آرزویی در من بود...؛ آرزوی داشتن چیزی که هرگز احتمال داشتنش را نداشتمیا اگر این داستانی عشقی است ــ که شک ندارم که هست ــ پس چرا از آنجا آغاز نکنم که چشمم به «اِلی» افتاد، که در پناه درختان صنوبرِ «کولی آباد» ایستاده بود؛ «کولی آباد»، آری؛ شاید بهتر آنست که از همان جا آغاز کنم؛ از لحظه ای که از جلو تابلوی فروش چرخیدم؛ درست همان لحظه ابری سیاه جلو خورشید را گرفته بود، و من کمی احساس سرما و لرز میکردم؛ با کمی بیخیالی از یکی از اهالی محل که به گونه ای سرسری مشغول چیدن علفهای چپری در همان حوالی بود پرسیدم: ــ این خانه هه، «بروج» ، چه جور خانه ای است؟ هنوز چهره متعجب پیرمرد را که از گوشه چشم نگاهم کرد در خاطرم هست؛ گفت: ــ ما بهش نمیگوییم «بروج»، بروج دیگر چه جور اسمی است؟ فینی کرد و ناخشنودیاش را نشان داد و گفت: ــ سالها از زمانیکه کسانی در آن زندگی میکردند و به آن «بروج» میگفتند، میگذرد؛ دوباره فین کرد؛ پرسیدم که پس این خانه را چه مینامند، و او دوباره به آن شیوه ی عجیب و مخصوص دهاتیها، که نخواهند مستقیم و رودررو با تو سخن بگویند، چشمهایش را در صورت پیرِ چروکیده اش، از من چرخاند، و انگار که چیزی ببیند که من نبینم، از بالای شانه یا شاید از گوشه چشم نگاهم کرد و گفت: ــ مردم این حوالی بهش میگویند «کولی آباد»؛ پرسیدم: ــ چرا «کولی آباد»؟ ــ داستانی دارد؛ درست نمیدانم؛ هر کسی چیزی میگوید؛ بعد ادامه داد: ــ به هر حال حوادثی اینجا رخ داده؛ ــ حادثه اتومبیل؟ ــ همه جور حادثه ای؛ این روزها بیشتر حرفِ حادثه اتومبیل است.)»؛ پایان نقل تاریخ بهنگام رسانی 15/06/1399هجری خورشیدی؛ 27/06/1400هجری خورشیدی؛ ا. شربیانی

I usually read Agatha Christie to unwind, and although they always guarantee a highly enjoyable hour filled with chuckles and gasps, there is an element of 'lightness' and dismissal involved. Well, that serves me right. This book smacked the patronizing smirk right off my face and I'm drooling on the floor, well and truly humbled. Written lightly, as always, but for the first time, the weight of evil - the kind of evil that wears perfume, goes shopping and is grumpy in the morning - makes its presence softly, sweetly known. Yours truly is humbled, chilled and very impressed.

Endless Night was one of Agatha Christie's own favourite novels, and one which received the most critical acclaim on its publication in 1967. It is her 58th detective novel. The title is a reference to William Blake's "Auguries of Innocence","Every night and every morn,Some to misery are born,Every morn and every night,Some are born to sweet delight.Some are born to sweet delight,Some are born to endless night."One of the characters sings and plays this at pertinent points during the book, and it becomes evident that it refers to two of the characters. Endless Night has been filmed, adapted as a play and also a graphic novel. It featured in a TV series about Miss Marple (in 2013), although the character of Miss Marple does not appear in the novel. The novels featuring Miss Marple have quite a different feel, so this is an odd inclusion. Unusually for Agatha Christie, Endless Night has a single viewpoint character, who has a heavy presence in the novel as its narrator. Michael Rogers is a working-class lad whose origins seem to be from a "poor but proud" family with a strong work ethic - which he does not share. He cheerfully admits that he cannot stick to anything. He is unsettled and lazy, having had a variety of jobs. He also appears to the reader to have a chip on his shoulder, and is quite a many-layered character.Very early on in the story, we learn that he has fallen in love with a painting of a house, and has idealised this in his mind to be a "perfect house" which he dreams of owning. He also finds the perfect location for his house in a (fictitious) village called Kington Bishop, near the town of Market Chadwell. In one of his jobs he had worked for an architect, Rudolf Santonix, who has now become a friend. He imagines Santonix designing his perfect dream house, although he knows that acquiring it it is an impossibility. Santonix knows of Michael's strange fantasies and his passion for the imaginary house,"When I was in a fanciful mood I used to think that piece of land had laid a spell upon you. You were a man in love with a house that you might never own, that you might never see, that might never even be built."The other main character in the story is almost Michael's complete opposite; a rich American heiress, Funella or "Ellie" Guteman. The two fall in love... but it is as well to remember that this is Agatha Christie, and not her romantic novelist alias "Mary Westmacott", so the course of true love is unlikely to run smooth.This is better written than some of Agatha Christie's novels. The two main characters have far more depth, which the reader learns as the story develops. Sometimes Agatha Christie piles on the characters in order to increase the complexity of the plot, and they inevitably come across as flat stock "types". She will describe their appearance, maybe name their job and a detail or two about their history and feel that she has done enough. She tells us about them. This novel is different, and far better than her average fare, as she reveals Mike and Ellie's characters through their experiences, as told by Mike. Also, to some extent, the characters of Ellie's close companion, Greta Andersen, his mother, the lawyer and guardian "Uncle" Andrew Lippincott, and the terminally-ill architect Rudolf Santonix are more fully fleshed out than usual. But there are secondary characters - the step-mother Cora van Stuyvesant, a friend Claudia Hardcastle, a local bigwig "God" Major Phillpot, the local "witch" Esther Lee and others, who are more akin to Christie's usual cardboard cutouts. The plot itself is satisfying with at least two neat twists near the end, to make the reader gasp. Agatha Christie's strength as a writer is based almost entirely on her ingenious plots. On publication, the newspaper "The Guardian" commented, "the crashing, not to say horrific suspense at the end is perhaps the most devastating that this surpriseful author has ever brought off." And the novelist Robert Barnard calls it, "The best of the late Christies... A splendid late flowering."However the literary critic James Zemboy, in his analysis of Agatha Christie's detective novels in 2008, says she was "by then seventy-seven years old and clearly in steep decline as a writer... "Endless Night" is a silly story filled with unlikely events and dull characters... not typical of Agatha Christie... [it is] rather embarrassing."Strong words indeed, about quite an enjoyable read. There are deliberate gothic overtones, with the cursed land of "Gipsy's Acre" and the old woman Mrs Lee, with her muttered premonitions of doom. The land is thought to be unlucky, because several accidents have taken place there, particularly on the dangerous curved road approaching the house. The talk of superstitious villagers, resentful gypsies, Mrs Lee, with her dire warnings, who, "Doesn't like the insides of houses. Them as has got gipsy blood don't", the young couple never being happy, the threats against them and "their kind", the evil site which should never be built on; all these are themes which run throughout the story, unsettling the reader and underpinning the story with a feeling of threat. It is all pure hokum, and the reader feels this is the author's deliberate intention, but it is entertaining and fun."I'd always known that I'd meet one day a beautiful woman. I had met her. I'd seen her and she'd seen me. We'd come together. A wonderful woman. I'd known the moment I saw her that I belonged to her, belonged to her absolutely and for always. I was hers."

In my end is just my beginning...After reading A LOT of Agatha Christie novels in the past, ENDLESS NIGHT- I would have to say- is one of her best, and very different from her others...The story is narrated by Michael Rogers- a charming attractive young man- who is a bit of a loner. Michael is unsure about quite a few things in his life, but there are two things he knows for certain. He wants to be rich, and he wants to find a lady and settle down. Out for a walk one day he spots a Sale Bill for a house being auctioned off nearby -Gipsy Acre- and after exploring the property, he adds another thing to his list. This is where he wants to live. There are a few small problems with his "perfect" plan. The house is in shambles, he has no money, and he has been warned Gipsy Acre is cursed- quite few who have lived there...have also died there. The curse Michael dismisses right away...The house is also not a problem- Michael's only close friend -Rudolf Santonix- is an architect, and Santonix has always promised that if money, love and property ever became a reality in Michael's life- he would build him the house of his dreams.As luck would have it, Michael meets Fenella "Ellie" Guteman- a lovely, wealthy heiress from America- and everything else falls into place. He has the girl, more money than he could have imagined, and as Santonix promised- a breathtaking house on Gipsy Acre. ...but as the lovebirds settle into wedded bliss- strange and frightening things start to happen, and Michael starts to wonder if he will ever get his "happily ever after".ENDLESS NIGHT is a eerie little tale, with a splendid twist, and an unsettling conclusion. If you are a Christie fan this is a must read!

A working-class man, Michael Rogers, tells the story of how he met his wife, Ellie, and became the master of the cursed estate called Gipsy's Acre.And the less said about all of that, the better.Endless Night has a different tone than most of the Agatha Christie books that I've read. Kinda spooky and tragic. Gothic?And apparently this was one of her favorites.I can see why. It's clever.I'm not saying you can't guess the ending, but it was very well done. (view spoiler)[I did it fairly early on, but I think that's more of a testament to the fact that I've been reading so many of her stories lately that I just know when she's lying to me now. As soon as he met Ellie and she told him about her companion Greta, I suspected that was who he was talking about when he spoke of being owned by a woman. I started paying attention and he never mentioned Ellie by name when he was talking about the woman he loved.I figured out that he was a wrong'un by the way his mother reacted to him. She loved him, but she knew what he was. And he didn't dislike her, I'd almost say he actually loved her, but she scared him because she knew him so well. When he didn't want Ellie to meet her, I thought it was because she would know what he was up to. And when she saw him with both Ellie and Greta, her reaction to Greta confirmed it. She knew that Greta was the type of woman he would be with, not Ellie.Although, Ellie's sweetness got to him in the end and I think ultimately helped push him over the edge. That he strangled that awful Greta, who set up a trusting girl to be murdered for her money, was a nice touch. Michael ending up in a madhouse was another stroke of brilliance, I think It would have been too quick if he had just killed himself. (hide spoiler)]This one was a lot of fun to try and pick apart. Definitely recommended to anyone who is looking for an unusual Christie mystery.Every night and every morn,Some to misery are born,Every morn and every night,Some are born to sweet delight.Some are born to sweet delight,Some are born to endless night.-William Blake["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>

This novel is quite different from any other work of Agatha Christie. The beginning is slow and the reader has to make too much effort to stay glued. It becomes increasingly difficult till first half of the novel to make sense of what is happening. Then Christie's brilliance kicks in. The last few pages are the best that I have ever read in any of Christie's novels. A blockbuster novelIncidentally Bollywood flick Aar Ya Paar was loosely based on this novel

My thoughts on my re-read: http://crimebythebook.com/blog/2017/8...Absolutely loved my re-read of this book!!! I've considered it my favorite Christie read for years now, but was long overdue for a re-read. Happy to report it's just as brilliant (and chilling) as I remember it.

This is a chilling stand alone novel by Agatha Christie. Endless Night is quite different than Agatha Christie's Poirot or Marple series. The story is narrated by the main character, Micheal Rogers, a young man with grandeur ideas but with no obvious means of attaining it. He is fascinated with Gipsy's Acre - a plot of land in rural England that is said to be cursed by the Gypsies who once lived there and who were driven away.While walking around the property that has come up for sale, he meets an attractive young American woman, Ellie. A whirlwind of romance results in him marrying the very lovely and the rich heiress to a fabulous fortune. They hired an architect to build their dream house at Gipsy's Acre. But the land is cursed and soon a chain of tragedies struck the newlyweds like a very black cloud. .I quite enjoyed the inner monologue and the first person narration and about halfway through I was held in the grip of the most uneasy sense of creepiness that started colouring the story. There were points in the book where I actually looked over my shoulder. The suspense, character development and smattering of clues that only made sense as such at the end all make for a superb, edge of your seat portrayal of the inner workings of a mind gone horribly wrong.If you enjoy character development over plot happenings, glimpsing into a personality driven by darkness and a book that will have you thinking about it days after you've finished, then this is the novel for you. Most of Agatha Christie's books can best be described as cracking thrillers. But Endless Night almost has the feel of a ghost story or a horror tale. A psychological thriller like I never expected..

In chapter one of Endless Night Agatha Christie sets up a wonderfully atmospheric mystery & this has to be my favourite opening to any of her novels.Endless Night tells the story of Mike Rogers, a penniless man, who meets & falls in love with Ellie who has more money than she knows what to do with. After Mike survives meeting her rich American family they settle down to live a happy life & build a house in idyllic Gypsy's Acre. And of course a warning from an old woman saying that the land there is cursed couldn't possibly be true....could it ?Christie wrote this novel at the age of 76 & it's an incredibly brilliant, character driven story. What a treat to find such a great book.ONE FINAL BIZARRE NOTE: I bought Endless Night while staying at Agatha Christie's holiday home of Greenway House last week. One morning, before Greenway opened to the public, I was sitting alone at the front of the house reading the book in the glorious sunshine. Then a voice said "Which one are you reading ?" I looked up & it was comedian Alan Carr!! Turns out he was making an Agatha Christie documentary around Devon & was filming at Greenway for the day. He was a really nice bloke, with no ego at all, & we had a lovely chat about how much we loved Christie's writing before he began filming. What a bizarre morning!

3.5/5 stars! (view spoiler)[I did really enjoy this book, but I felt like Christie was just recycling plot twists from her former books. The love triangle situation reminded me of the one in "Death on the Nile" and the whole unreliable narrator thing was so similar to "The Murder of Roger Ackroyd". (hide spoiler)]

Every morn and every night,Some are born to sweet delight.Every morn and every night,Some are born to endless night. When people mention Agatha Christie to me, I always think about a woman writing murder mysteries. You know those: Someone is killed and another someone wants to figure out who's the responsible for that death. Getting into gothic passages, though, is not something I imagined her to do.More than 60% of this book consists on getting to know our narrator Michael - Mike - Rogers. He's a man who would - let's say, now that I'm rereading Harry Potter - belong to Slytherin: He's cunning and with an ambition greater than a whale.People have always thought he's a man who will never settle down, marry a girl and build his own life. That's when he meets Ellie, decides to marry her in secret, and starts his life in Gipsy's Acre, a place the villagers are afraid of because of urban legends that say it's cursed.But of course, our charming protagonist does not believe in the legends, and too late does he realise the warnings people gave to his wife were real.I'm completely aware I'm kind of spoiling more than half the book, but you really have to trust me when I say the very important parts of the book happen after 75% of it. That's when Agatha Christie fooled me. She fooled me again like an idiot.Nothing could have prevented me for falling into her trap. I guess the only piece of advice I could give you without ruining the book is: Don't believe everything your senses tell you, and when I say "senses" I mean eyes, ears, nose, hands and everything. You are only to be deceived if you trust them.That said, I have to praise Christie for being able to make me like a character I would usually hate. You see, Mike is very charming. I loved him ever since he started to tell the story. Oh, but that's not what would have made me hate him. What I didn't like was that he's the kind of person who likes to get things the easy, lazy way. That's something I really despise. Yet I loved being inside his head.I also loved the way she portrayed the rest of the characters - all through Mike's thoughts and feelings. She made my mind give a complete twist, making me hate certain characters I probably should have paid more attention to, and making me be suspicious of others who weren't even important part in the plot (or so I thought).That's just the way it was with the other work I've read by her, in which I was fooled too, though I didn't feel as stupid as I did when I reached the end of the book.Perhaps the sign that says a mystery book is good (because there is in fact a mystery around 70%) is how much of an imbecile you feel. The more idiotic you feel, the better the book is, and in this case, I can say I am like:Which is to say, I wholehertedly recommend this book. Now leave me alone because I still feel terribly ashamed of myself. Gah! I bet Christie would be laughing! How she has mocked me...P.S.: (view spoiler)[Damned unreliable narrators.

This is a quirky story which is all I will say so as not to ruin it. Not your usual Christie but certainly compelling.

Per usual, I really enjoyed Christie’s beautiful writing style. My one ‘complaint’ with the story is that unfortunately, I guessed who did it right off that bat. It was almost a little too obvious where I was hoping for some other twist to really catch me by surprise, but unfortunately this was not the case. That being said, I’ve been finding this problem with many of her books in that they contain a lot of tropes that though I’m sure she was one of the first to start them, they are now overly done and easy to spot. Again, this is no fault of hers and I nonetheless did enjoy it overall!
