Agatha Christie's classic detective novels edited to remove potentially offensive language

Published 27th March 2023

Novels by "Queen of Crime" Agatha Christie are the latest classic works to be revised to remove racist references and other language considered offensive to modern audiences.
According to the UK's The Telegraph newspaper, publisher HarperCollins has edited some passages and entirely removed others from its new digital editions of some of Christie's detective mysteries featuring Hercule Poirot and Miss Marple.

About Rising: 
Rising is a weekday morning show with bipartisan hosts that breaks the mold of morning TV by taking viewers inside the halls of Washington power like never before.

Here is a really significant book that deserves the attention of everyone concerned with language, meaning, and culture

HOW SAD

Publisher Puffin responded to the controversy by announcing that it would release two versions -- one amended and one classic -- to give readers "the choice to decide how they experience Roald Dahl's magical, marvellous stories."
