A full-cast BBC Radio 4 dramatisation of an Agatha Christie story. On a flight from Le Bourget to Croydon, on which Hercule Poirot is an apprehensive passenger, a woman is found dead. A doctor on board is inclined to put it down to a wasp-sting, but Poirot suspects that a poisoned dart is the real cause - and, perhaps rather too conveniently, a blow pipe is dicovered stuffed down the back of his seat. Clearly the murder can only have been committed by one of the passengers or crew on the plane. But which one? Poirot, Japp and M. Fournier of the Surete will make their way through shoals of red herrings before reaching an utterly unexpected conclusion...

Joining forces with a watchdog named Tock, Milo drives through the tollbooth's gates and begins a memorable journey.

Американская классическая проза 20 века
Ernest Hemingway
The Snows of Kilimanjaro
Actor Charlton Heston reads "The Snows of Kilimanjaro," a short story by Ernest Hemingway originally published in 1938. The story takes place in Africa, which Hemingway knew and enjoyed visiting as a big game hunter. As the scene opens, Harry, a writer, is stranded with his wife and their safari party in the African bush. Their truck has broken down and Harry's leg has developed gangrene which grows progressively worse.
Throughout the story, Harry recalls scenes from his past. The scenes Hemingway describes clearly stem from his own life; he spent summers as a child in the wilderness of upper Michigan, was wounded and decorated for bravery during the First World War, and lived in Paris between the wars. The story's theme of a writer struggling with his talent resembles Hemingway's own struggles and self-questionings.
Charlton Heston won an Academy Award in 1959 for his performance in the title role of "Ben-Hur." The story is presented in four segments and has been edited for length.
