The Ball of the Victoire
the Ball of the Victoire ( Poirot' S Early Boxes in the British original edition) is a collection of 18 police news written by Agatha Christie, putting in scene Hercule Poirot.
This collection was published initially in 1974, with London and New York.
In France, the collection was published in 1981 under the title the Ball of the Victoire .
The American collection only contains 15 news: news 6,7 and 10 having already been published in the American edition of the Investigations of Hercule Poirot (1824) ( Poirot Investigates ).
The edition of the Intégrale in French (volume 13, 2000) made the choice conform to the American edition (15 news instead of 18), since volume 1 of the Intégrale (1990) contained already this three missing news.
Order of publication of the 15 news in the Integral : 1,2,3,4,16,15,11,13,8,14,17,9,18,5,12.
