В 1981 году своей резолюцией Генеральная Ассамблея ООН провозгласила Международный день мира. Спустя 20 лет, в 2001 году, Генеральная Ассамблея единогласно приняла резолюцию, в которой постановила, что с 2002 года Международный день мира будет отмечаться ежегодно 21 сентября как день всеобщего прекращения огня и отказа от насилия.
Этот День Генеральная Ассамблея объявила днем укрепления идеалов мира среди всех стран и народов — как на национальном, так и на международном уровне.
Dame Agatha Mary Clarissa Christie, Lady Mallowan, (15 September 1890 – 12 January 1976) was an English writer known for her sixty-six detective novels and fourteen short story collections, particularly those revolving around fictional detectives Hercule Poirot and Miss Marple. She also wrote the world's longest-running play, The Mousetrap, which was performed in the West End from 1952 to 2020, as well as six novels under the pseudonym Mary Westmacott.
English novelist, pamphleteer and journalist, Daniel Defoe is considered the founder of the English adventure fiction. He was born in London in 1660 and he mainly wrote for the middle classes (traders, merchants, artisans). Although his father wanted him to become a minister, Defoe worked in trade: he became a merchant and he travelled around Europe.
