Come tell me how you live

Come and tell me how you live .. her memoirs in Syria and Iraq. The author Agatha Christie left a rich legacy of detective novels and plays that are the most widespread in modern world literature. Her life was turbulent and restless, and with her continuous passion for daily writing, she traveled around the world by all kinds of transportation to learn all faces of life in the world, and to discover everything strange or beautiful or amazing or frightening, in nature, cities, beaches, islands, their inhabitants, traditions, and customs. Her search for the past led her to examine archaeological excavations in the East, in Egypt, Iraq, and Syria. In 1930, she met, among the ruins of Ur, the archaeologist Max Malowan, and they married. They worked together on archaeological excavations in Nineveh, Ur, Nimrud, and the Assyrian sites. Agatha recorded all the troubles, events, characters, and surprises she experienced from Britain to Beirut, Homs, Damascus, Palmyra, Aleppo, and Deir ez-Zor. She was amazed by the many scattered mounds in the Syrian island, but her love was focused on Tel Barak. In a dreamy stance before the hill, she asked it: Come and tell me how you live? Then she wrote its answer in a poem. In 1950, Agatha began writing her autobiography in a quiet house at Nimrud’s site, in which she emotionally narrated her memories in Iraq: "How I loved this part of the world very much..", and she also wrote two novels inspired by those memories, which are "A Crime Between the Rivers" and "Those Who Reached Baghdad".
