About the author
Georges Simenon
2,756 books2,317 followersGeorges Joseph Christian Simenon (1903 – 1989) was a Belgian writer. A prolific author who published nearly 500 novels and numerous short works, Simenon is best known as the creator of the fictional detective Jules Maigret.
Although he never resided in Belgium after 1922, he remained a Belgian citizen throughout his life.
Simenon was one of the most prolific writers of the twentieth century, capable of writing 60 to 80 pages per day. His oeuvre includes nearly 200 novels, over 150 novellas, several autobiographical works, numerous articles, and scores of pulp novels written under more than two dozen pseudonyms. Altogether, about 550 million copies of his works have been printed.
He is best known, however, for his 75 novels and 28 short stories featuring Commissaire Maigret. The first novel in the series, Pietr-le-Letton, appeared in 1931; the last one, Maigret et M. Charles, was published in 1972. The Maigret novels were translated into all major languages and several of them were turned into films and radio plays. Two television series (1960-63 and 1992-93) have been made in Great Britain.
During his "American" period, Simenon reached the height of his creative powers, and several novels of those years were inspired by the context in which they were written (Trois chambres à Manhattan (1946), Maigret à New York (1947), Maigret se fâche (1947)).
Simenon also wrote a large number of "psychological novels", such as La neige était sale (1948) or Le fils (1957), as well as several autobiographical works, in particular Je me souviens (1945), Pedigree (1948), Mémoires intimes (1981).
In 1966, Simenon was given the MWA's highest honor, the Grand Master Award.
In 2005 he was nominated for the title of De Grootste Belg (The Greatest Belgian). In the Flemish version he ended 77th place. In the Walloon version he ended 10th place.

Curajoasă și totodată interesantă inițiativa editurii Polirom de a publica sub această formă romanele avându-l ca protagonist pe cunoscutul inspector. Nu știu cât succes comercial a avut întreprinderea, dar din punctul de vedere al fanului Maigret care citește multe cărți împrumutate de la biblioteci o consider o adevărată mană cerească. Romanele de sine stătătoare circulă mult mai mult, pe când o integrală poate fi găsită mai ușor. Nu-ți rămâne decât să alegi romanele pe care nu le-ai citit în format fredus, singura problemă fiind "greutatea" cărților, de la un kilogram în sus...
Vorbind strict despre volumul de față, o parte dintre romane îmi erau deja cunoscute, dintre cele noi am remarcat Maigret la Tribunal, foarte apropiat, cel puțin în prima sa parte, cu o piesă de teatru, în care, după o descriere sumară a sălii de judecată, avem câteva pagini doar cu dialoguri scurte, ceva mai puțin obișnuit pentru stilul lui Simenon.
