Subsequent episodes were derived both from works featuring Miss Marple and also Christie novels that did not feature the character. The first six episodes were all adaptations of Miss Marple novels by Christie. Overview Įach series consists of four feature-length episodes, except series six which only has three episodes. Following the conclusion of the sixth series, the BBC acquired the rights for the production of Agatha Christie adaptations, suggesting that ITV would be unable to make a seventh series of Marple. ![]() Unlike the counterpart TV series Agatha Christie's Poirot, the show took many liberties with Christie’s works, most notably adding Miss Marple’s character to the adaptations of novels in which she never appeared. The title character was played by Geraldine McEwan from the first to the third series, until her retirement from the role, and by Julia McKenzie from the fourth series onwards.

His childhood, his journey to England, his life in South Africa and the non-cooperation movement in India are all discussed at length in this mind-opening book. The book gives us a better understanding of the habits that Gandhi rigorously inculcated into his daily routine. Being a proponent of Ahimsa or nonviolence, Gandhi diligently stuck to a set of practices from early on in life. In the last chapter, he notes that his life from this point onward became so public that there was hardly anything about it that people did not know. Gandhiji wrote in his autobiography that the three most important modern influences in his life were Leo Tolstoy's The Kingdom of God Is Within You, John Ruskin's Unto This Last and the poet Shrimad Rajchandra. It gives an authentic account of the personal life of a man who led millions into independence. ![]() Gandhi: An Autobiography is the story of Gandhiji s, covering his life from early childhood through to 1920. ![]() ![]() ![]() Our Mother Earth is full of contradictions!

How can I speak to you, dear one, who also battles the chasm inside yourself of who knows what- everyone’s situation is unique.

Working for Rafael Ricci, the don of Boston’s-at one time-premier crime family was never supposed to be a permanent thing.

My peers in college, and later my colleagues, dubbed it a psychological disorder. Learned to seek it out in times of chaos, a force to ground myself in. ![]() I fell in love with the innate stillness of it-the calm it provides, the secrets you can wedge into its depths.

Suddenly all the events, Tony has talked about during the book can be seen in a different light and I was almost tempted to start all over again, to see events from this new angle. However, towards the end there is a revelation of something Tony actually didn’t realise as a youngster, which makes the story come full circle. His memory has filtered out or modified events from his youth to the extent that he appears to be an unreliable narrator. Told to others, but-mainly-to ourselves.” “How often do we tell our own life story? How often do we adjust, embellish, make sly cuts? And the longer life goes on, the fewer are those around to challenge our account, to remind us that our life is not our life, merely the story we have told about our life. Even if Barnes has managed to squeeze in a lot in this slim novella, the main theme relates to how we all choose to remember our own story, the way we want to remember it.
