It relies on the groundbreaking critical book Orientalism by Edward Said (1979) that
has pointed another dimension of seeing the east. It adopts a critical analysis of the
novel’s Orientalist elements based on historical evidence. The extended essay is
composed of two chapters, a general background and an analytical study. The first
chapter introduces the basic components of the research work which are: the detective
novel, Orientalism, and the Arabian Nights. The second one pinpoints the analysis of
the novel They came to Baghdad which contains the features of Orientalism in the
detective type more than they seemed to be. They Came to Baghdad is a detective novel
by the ‘Britain’s Queen of Mystery’ Dame Agatha Mary Clarissa Christie, written in
1951. It is an espionage and a thriller detective type of story expertly plotted in the city
of Baghdad after the Second World War. The novel is analyzed under the Orientalism
appraisal that indicates how Agatha Christie presents the western characters vis-a-vis
the Orientals). The novel pictures the negative Orientalists’ stereotypes about the
Middle East specifically and about the Orient in general and discusses several
perceptions against the oriental civilization and atmosphere. It emphasizes the
dichotomy of the self and the other and notifies the schism between the west and the
east. The study concludes that They Came to Baghdad is an Orientalist novel by Agatha
Christie with a biased way of examining and presenting the Orient.Orientalism in Agatha Christie’s Detective Novel They Came to Baghdad [texte imprimé] / Chahrazed TAIBI, Auteur . - université de Tlemcen, 2019 . - 73 p. ; 21*27 cm.
