Pietr the Latvian: Inspector Maigret #1 de Georges Simenon

Pietr the Latvian: Inspector Maigret #1: Inspector Maigret, cartea 1

Autor Georges Simenon Traducere de David Bellos
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 6 noi 2013
The first novel which appeared in Georges Simenon's famous Maigret series, in a gripping new translation by David Bellos.

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.

This novel has been published in previous translations asThe Case of Peter the LettandMaigret and the Enigmatic Lett.

Recenzii

Gem-hard soul-probes. . . not justthe world's bestselling detective series, butan imperishable literary legend. . . he exposes secrets and crimes not by forensic wizardry, but by the melded powers of therapist, philosopher and confessor
Strangely comforting. . . so many lovely bistros from the Paris of mid-20th C. The corpses are incidental, it's the food that counts.
One of the greatest writers of the 20th century. . . no other writer can set up a scene as sharply and with such economy as Simenon does . . . the conjuring of a world, a place, a time, a set of characters - above all, an atmosphere.
Simenon's supreme virtue as a novelist, to burrow beneath the surface of his characters' behaviour; to empathise. . . it is this unfailing humanity that makes the Maigret books truly worth reading.
