Shwe Yi Win ‘s Myanmar Translation of Agatha Christie - Foreword By Dr Khin Maung Win
Agatha Christie needs non special introduction for English-reading readers.This book is Shwe Yi Win’s Myanmar translation of the novel,’The Mysterious Affair at Styles’.If the Myanmar translation of the title is translated back into English,it would have been something like,’My Lover the Murderer’.Shwe Yi Win’s first translation of Agatha Christie was ‘Five Little Pigs’,and the English translation of the Myanmar title would have been something like ‘The Passion of Love is Like Poison’.It was criticized that the Myanmar title was a give-away.Ma Sandar,the famous writer, commented that because of the title she knew who the murder was when she was half –way. Shwe Yi Win, who is an Agatha Christie fan has read all her novels and it has been a real pleasure translating her work. We have heard that Agatha Christie’s first novel ,’The Mysterious Affair at Styles ‘ was rejected by the publisher.Shwe Yi Win’s translation of the novel too was rejected by the publisher.However the similarity ends here.We all know how Agatha Christie became a best seller.If one has
followed Shwe Yi Win’s career, one would have known that her first translation,’Five Little Pigs’ was a finantial failure.Her translation of ‘The Mysterious Affair at Styles’ was rejected by the publisher because the Myanmar translation by Tekkatho Nay Win already appeared some time ago.However,Shwe Yi Win does not care who has translated what,because whenever she translated anything,it was purely for the sake of translating for pleasure.
Now,Shwe Yi Win’s translation of ‘The Mysterious Affair at Styles ‘appears as an e-book.For the type of public media,I think e-book is a poor choice.But as the saying goes,beggars cannot be choosers,under the given conditions,Shwe Yi Win has no other choice.So ,here it is :Shwe Yi Win’s translation of
Agatha Christie’s ‘The Mysterious Affair at Styles’ or should I say,’My Lover,the Murderer’ in Myanmar ?
It may be added here that both the titles in Myanmar language are suggested by my mother Khin Myo Chit.

Born in Torquay in 1890, Agatha Christie began writing during the First World War and wrote over 100 novels, plays and short story collections. She was still writing to great acclaim until her death, and her books have now sold over a billion copies in English and another billion in over 100 foreign languages. Yet Agatha Christie was always a very private person, and though Hercule Poirot and Miss Marple became household names, the Queen of Crime was a complete enigma to all but her closest friends.
