Poirot planuje spektakularne pożegnanie z zawodem detektywa. Podobnie jak jego imiennik, grecki bohater, pragnie dokonać dwunastu wspaniałych dzieł, które przejdą do historii. Jego siła nie leży w mięśniach, tylko w szarych komórkach: postanawia zatem rozwiązać dwanaście trudnych i zawiłych spraw, które niczym dwanaście prac mitycznego Herkulesa wymagają geniuszu i niemal..more

Only a Poirot completist like me would finish #26, based on either (you choose) a forced or clever premise: Poirot is (supposedly) ready to retire. In appearance he hardly resembles Hercules, but he thinks his mind is equal to Hercules’s body and physical exploits. They both rid the world of monsters, in their own fashion. So Poirot chooses 12 cases to close out his career (though it really doesn’t), mirroring the 12 Labors of Hercules. So it’s a nice idea, clever in its way, but the order and c..more

The Labours of Hercules (Hercule Poirot, #27), Agatha Christie
The Labours of Hercules is a short story collection written by Agatha Christie and first published in 1947. In the Foreword to the volume, Poirot declares that he will carefully choose the cases to conform to the mythological sequence of the Twelve Labours of Hercules (The Nemean Lion, The Lernaean Hydra, The Arcadian Deer, The Erymanthian Boar, The Augean Stables, The Stymphalean Birds, The Cretan Bull, The Horses of Diomedes, The Gi..more

THE LABOURS OF HERCULES is a mixture of mystery, adventure, and an unexpected literary conceit. Agatha Christie transforms the ancient Greek mythology of the twelve labours of Hercules into a modern mythology and of the twelve labours of Hercules (Poirot). And the result is quite charming.

Of all Agatha Christie's collections of stories featuring the great Hercule Poirot, this is the one of which the man himself would most approve. It has the order and method, to be sure! A perfect dozen cases, updating the Labours of Hercules for the modern world (well, the 1947 world). The stories have a certain inevitability to them--it would be a shame to name a character Hercule and NOT do something with the classical allusion. The format is both the collection's greatest strength and its wea..more

Interesting collection of twelve stories inspired from the twelve tasks of Hercules. For a change Poirot finds his match and regrets not having read the classics. In this collection we find Poirot's fascination for his great love. I really like the ending of the last story-“Humming a little tune, he went out of the door. His step was light, almost sprightly. Miss Lemon stared after him. Her filing system was forgotten. All her feminine instincts were aroused. ‘Good gracious, she murmured. I wond..more

Twelve Hercule Poirot short stories, framed by the device of having each story relate to one of the labours of Hercules. Some of them are a bit of a stretch, like the Nemean lion being kidnapped Pekingese dogs. I read this once and found it utterly forgettable. Someone recently requested it from me on PaperbackSwap, and I read the first few stories again before sending it off. I wasn't interested enough to read them all.
2.5 stars. For Poirot completists only.

This one is a special favourite. Hercule Poirot sets out to emulate the twelve labours of his mythical namesake - but using the little grey cells, not muscles. It has got some absolute gems: 'The Lernean Hydra', 'The Erymanthian Boar', 'The Augean Stables', 'The Stymphalean Birds', 'The Girdle of Hyppolita' and 'The Capture of Cerebrus'.

Weird short story collection in which Poirot, ready to retire, selects a few cases as his very own labors of Hercules. The connection to the original stories felt forced to me in places (really, the Nemean lion becoming -of all things- a Pekinese dog?), and some of them were too short for me to allow Poirot to do his thing. Sometimes he just arrived and went 'Aha!' and that was it, and one rather confusing time he traveled from London to Paris, to Italy, to Switzerland for one case, in one story..more

Not her best work, the short stories are often pretty mediocre and, which is rather worse, Agatha runs off on her pet hobby horse of 'Drugs! Bad! Demon, Devil!' quite a bit. When she does this it becomes slightly reminesent of that gawds awful nightmare she wrote when, I charitably assume, she had gone totally senile and gaga - Passenger to Frankfurt527].

I am admittedly not a short story reader. I have now, however, read every last Hercule Poirot and the vast majority of the rest of the Christie full-length canon, so I have no choice but to dip into Agatha's short stories.

The premise of the collection does seem a little forced, but it is after all better than the nursery rhymes Christie was so fond of. Many of the stories feature rather ingenious ideas. But they are not detective stories at all! Where's the detection? - in almost all cases Poirot just has a real good look and suddenly he knows; we aren't treated to his thought processes, and there is nothing else to chew upon at all.

This book is among the better works in the Poirot series. The 1st chapter or the Forward, introduces the premise, which immediately got me hooked. Very different concept.
Congratulations to Agatha Christie for convincingly giving practical instances, explaining the allegory in the 12 labours of Hercules!
She has grasped the crux of it and has beautifully narrated the 12 stories to show how the labours weren't really insane or fantastical.

Many long time Christie fans know that Hercule would go on and on about retiring (at least it felt like it) well in this collection we have Hercule talking about going into retirement and growing the perfect vegetable marrow. This makes me think that the events in this collection all occur before the events in 'The Murder of Roger Ackroyd.' Poirot's conversation with his friend, Dr. Burton leads into the Greek hero named Hercules and his 12 labors that he undertook. What did make me laugh was Po..more

The fussy little Belgian decides, like his mythical namesake, to undertake twelve labours before he retires. After that, he plans to do things with marrows. Like a pair of comfy old slippers, and I don't mean that in a derisory way. A marvelous conceit, each labour cleverly, symbolically linked - the cleaning of the Aegean stables transforms into the hushing up of a political scandal etc. No strain on the little grey cells, just warm pleasure. Christie is literary cocaine.

Hercule Poirot is thinking of retiring and has decided to take on only 12 more cases - 12 cases that resemble the 12 labors of Hercules [since he himself is semi-named after the god] and so the book begins. It is a delightful romp through 12 stories, some that tax even the unflappable Poirot. There are several that were my favorite as who was the perpetrator was NOT EVEN CLOSE to being who I thought it was and it was delightful to be proven wrong.

The book is a series of short episodes that echo the labours of Poirot's classical namesake, Hercules.
Poirot is completely switched on, even when solving 'lesser' crimes to do with drug dealing, theft, blackmail in addition to murder and attempted murder.
I prefer the more developed mysteries in Christie's other novels, but I still found each episode highly ingenious and Poirot as charming as ever.

It was fun to return to the shorter adventures with my favourite pompous fatherly Belgian Poirot again in this short set. Though Ive read it countless times before and yes I did manage to guess a few things, as the story patterns are more obvious to me these days for Christies books. They were all entertaining if some a little predictable. The overall premise of matching each story to a Herculean task was a little far but meh.
