Ven y dime cómo vives

Married to the prestigious British archaeologist Max Mallowan, Agatha Christie had the opportunity to travel throughout the Middle East in the 1930s, accompanying her husband on various archaeological excavation campaigns in Syria and Iraq. As the author herself says, this work is the answer to the innumerable questions that her friends and acquaintances asked her about the kind of life that the married couple led in those strange places. The adventures and difficulties that this group of Westerners stoically faces, while the enriching coexistence with the natives, are narrated by the great writer with all the sharpness typical of hyper-civilized Great Britain. Glamour, adventures in exotic settings -which this author incorporated into some of her most famous novels- hers, huge amounts of tea and unbeatable English humor come together in this unforgettable fresco of the world between the wars.
