‘Acute psychological insight and a distinctive, spare, atmospheric style … Simenon ought to be spoken of in the same breath as Camus, Beckett and Kafka’ Independent on Sunday 'The father of contemporary European detective fiction' Ann CleevesAll that was still unclear, for sure. Ernest Malik had been right when he had looked at Maigret with a smile that was a mixture of sarcasm and contempt. This wasn't a case for him. He was out of his depth. This world was unfamiliar to him, and he had difficulty piecing it all together. Peacefully tending his garden in the countryside, Maigret is called upon to investigate a rich family with skeletons in their cupboard - and finds himself confronted by lies, snobbery and malice.'His artistry is supreme' John Banville‘Gem-hard soul-probes . . . not just the world's bestselling detective series, but an imperishable literary legend . . . he exposes secrets and crimes not by forensic wizardry, but by the melded powers of therapist, philosopher and confessor’ Boyd Tonkin, The Times

'Compelling, remorseless, brilliant' John Gray In his mind's eye he would see that slim figure in the striking clothes, those wide eyes the colour of forget-me-not, the pert nose and especially the hat, that giddy, crimson bonnet perched on the top of her head with a bronze-green feather shaped like a blade stuck in it . . . Félicie had given him more trouble than all the 'hard' men who had been put behind bars.

'Compelling, remorseless, brilliant' John Gray In everyone's eyes, even the old ladies hiding behind their quivering curtains, even the kids just now who had turned to stare after they had passed him, he was the intruder, the undesirable.

'Compelling, remorseless, brilliant' John Gray He went out, lit his pipe and walked slowly to the harbour. He could hear scurrying footsteps behind him. The sea was becoming swollen. The beams of the lighthouses joined in the sky. The moon had just risen and the judge's house emerged from the darkness, all white, a crude, livid, unreal white. Exiled from the Police Judiciare in Paris, Maigret bides his time in a remote coastal town of France. There, among the lighthouses, mussel farms and the eerie wail of foghorns, he discovers that a community's loyalties hide unpleasant truths.

And yet she was still young. Maigret had seen her papers: barely twenty-eight years old.

Whatever roared by like this along the road was not part of the landscape. ...

A new translation of Simenon's gripping novel about lives transformed by deceit and the destructive power of lust. It was all real: himself, the room, Andrée still lying on the ravaged bed.

sidottu

Halvin toimitettuna 19,90 €

Piippua poltteleva komisario Maigret on harvapuheinen ja tukeva mies, joka pistäytyy mielellään kahvilassa tai baarissa siemaisemassa oluen tai tilkan calvadosia. Maigretin joviaalisuus ja elämänkokemus sekä hänen työmenetelmänsä sijoittavat hänet niihin etsiviin, joita ohjaa ennen kaikkea intuitio. Simenon on Maigretin hahmossa valmis ymmärtämään rikosta, ei hyväksymään tai puolustamaan sitä. Useimmat Maigret -tutkielmat ovat myös rikoksen uhrin ja rikollisen perheiden ja taustojen syvällistä kuvausta. Itse jännitys on usein sivuseikka, ja rikollisen kiinniotto melko epädramattinen. Nyt ensimmäistä kertaa suomeksi julkaistavat 28 rikoskertomusta on kirjoitettu 1930- luvun puolivälin ja 1950-luvun alun välillä. Ne näyttävät Simenonin olevan myös lyhyen proosan taitaja. Simenonin kirjailijanlaadulle ominaiset viipyilevät, tunnelmaa luovat kuvaukset sateisista kanavarannoista ja sumuisista kaduista aamutuimaan löytyvät novelleista. Mutta Maigretille rikollinen on epäonnistunut ihminen, ei sankari. Mysteeri nouseekin Simenon kuvaamasta tavanomaisuudesta, siitä avautuu avautuu railo: arkinen draama ei nouse sankarihahmojen taistelusta vaan pikemminkin tavallisten ihmisten välisestä hankauksesta ja kompuroinnista.

Mr Hire's Engagement

Mr Hire's Engagement

Penguin Books Ltd
2014
pokkari

Halvin toimitettuna 17,00 €

Georges Simenon's chilling portrayal of tragic love, persecution and betrayal.'One sensed in him neither flesh nor bone, nothing but soft, flaccid matter, so much so that his movements were hard to make out. Very red lips stood out from his orb-like face, as did the thin moustache that he curled with an iron and looked as if it had been drawn on with India ink; on his cheekbones were the symmetrical pink dots of a doll's cheeks.'People find Mr Hire strange, disconcerting. The tenants he shares his building with try to avoid him. He is a peeping Tom, a visitor of prostitutes, a dealer in unsavoury literature. He is also the prime suspect for a brutal murder that he did not commit. Yet Mr Hire's innocence will not stand in the way of those looking for a scapegoat as tragedy unfolds in this quietly devastating and deeply unnerving novel. 'The romans durs are extraordinary: tough, bleak, offhandedly violent, suffused with guilt and bitterness, redolent of place . . . utterly unsentimental, frightening in the pitilessness of their gaze, yet wonderfully entertaining' John Banville

A new translation of this gripping domestic tragedy, set in Simenon's very own neighbourhood. One by one the lighted windows went dark.

A young woman crossed the courtyard with hurried steps, leaving a whiff of perfume in her wake. Summoned to the dimly-lit Place des Vosges one night, where he sees shadowy figures at apartment windows, Maigret uncovers a tragic story of desperate lives, unhappy families, addiction and a terrible, fatal greed. Penguin is publishing the entire series of Maigret novels in new translations.
