Georges Simenon
"Georges Simenon is geboren in Luik, op 12 februari 1903. Zijn leven verliep tumultueus. Zijn huwelijken liepen stuk op frequent bordeelbezoek, in Amerika leefde hij in een bizarre ménage ? quatre en een van zijn dochters pleegde zelfmoord. Zijn hele leven werd hij door seksuele en criminele obsessies gekweld; hij kon ze alleen bezweren door te schrijven met de duivel op zijn hielen - soms wrochtte hij een boek in een week. Zijn bekendste literaire creatie is zonder twijfel commissaris Maigret, de zwaarlijvige pijprokende Franse speurder die een miljoenenpubliek zou vinden. Het boek Maigret in Holland opende een reeks van 82 misdaadromans waarin Maigret de hoofdrol speelde. Naast zijn wereldwijd bekende policiers, schreef hij ook nog 117 psychologische romans, zijn zogenoemde romans durs, waarin hij zijn ongemene talenten voor karaktertekening, melancholie en psychische ontleedkunde kon etaleren. Simenon overleed in Zwitserland op 4 september 1989. Op bol.com vind je alle boeken van Georges Simenon, waaronder het nieuwste boek van Georges Simenon.

Samenvatting
The first novel which appeared in Georges Simenon's famous Maigret series, in a gripping new translation by David Bellos.
Inevitably Maigret was a hostile presence in the Majestic. He constituted a kind of foreign body that the hotel's atmosphere could not assimilate.
Not that he looked like a cartoon policeman. He didn't have a moustache and he didn't wear heavy boots. His clothes were well cut and made of fairly light worsted. He shaved every day and looked after his hands.
But his frame was proletarian. He was a big, bony man. His firm muscles filled out his jacket and quickly pulled all his trousers out of shape.
He had a way of imposing himself just by standing there. His assertive presence had often irked many of his own colleagues.
In Simenon's first novel featuring Maigret, the laconic detective is taken from grimy bars to luxury hotels as he traces the true identity of Pietr the Latvian.
'Compelling, remorseless, brilliant' John Gray
'One of the greatest writers of the twentieth century . . . Simenon was unequalled at making us look inside, though the ability was masked by his brilliance at absorbing us obsessively in his stories' Guardian
'A supreme writer . . . unforgettable vividness' Independent
Georges Simenon was born in Liège, Belgium, in 1903. Best known in Britain as the author of the Maigret books, his prolific output of over 400 novels and short stories have made him a household name in continental Europe. He died in 1989 in Lausanne, Switzerland, where he had lived for the latter part of his life.
David Bellos is Director of the Program in Translation and Intercultural Communication at Princeton University and has won many awards for his translations including the Man Booker International Translator's Award (2005). He is the author of Is that a Fish in your Ear: The Amazing Adventure of Translation.
The first book in the new Inspector Maigret series. Penguin is publishing all seventy-five novels in new translations, releasing one new title each month.
