Simenon Georges Maigret Takes a Room
'What he thought he had discovered, in place of the joyful candour that she usually displayed, was an irony which was neither less cheerful nor less childish, but which troubled him ... He wondered now if his exultation wasn't down to the fact that she was playing a part, not just to deceive him, not just to hide something from him, but for the pleasure of acting a part' When one of his best inspectors is shot, Maigret decides to book himself into Mademoiselle Cle'ment's well-kept Paris boarding house nearby in order to find the culprit.

431 Руб.Simenon Georges Maigret a peur
Tout a coup, entre deux petites gares dont il n'aurait pu dire le nom et dont il ne vit presque rien dans l'obscurite, sinon des lignes de pluie devant une grosse lampe et des silhouettes humaines qui poussaient des chariots, Maigret se demanda ce qu'il faisait la. Peut-etre s'etait-il assoupi un moment dans le compartiment surchauffe ? Il ne devait pas avoir perdu entierement conscience car il savait qu'il etait dans un train ; il en entendait le bruit monotone ; il aurait jure qu'il avait continue a voir, de loin en loin, dans l'etendue obscure des champs, les fenetres eclairees d'une ferme isolee. Tout cela, et l'odeur de suie qui se melangeait a celle de ses vetements mouilles, restait reel, et aussi un murmure regulier de voix dans un compartiment voisin, mais cela perdait en quelque sorte de son actualite, cela ne se situait plus tres bien dans l'espace, ni surtout dans le temps.

Maigret's peaceful retirement in the countryside is disrupted when a relative unwittingly embroils himself in a crime he did not commit and the inspector returns to Police Headquarters in Paris once again.

Avant d’ouvrir les yeux, Maigret fronca les sourcils, comme s’il se fut mefie de cette voix qui venait lui crier tout au fond de son sommeil : – Mon oncle !… Les paupieres toujours closes, il soupira, tatonna le drap de lit et comprit qu’il ne revait pas, qu’il se passait quelque chose puisque sa main n’avait pas rencontre, la ou il eut du etre, le corps chaud de Mme Maigret. Il ouvrit enfin les yeux. La nuit etait claire. Mme Maigret, debout pres de la fenetre a petits carreaux, ecartait le rideau cependant qu’en bas quelqu’un secouait la porte et que le bruit se repercutait dans toute la maison. – Mon oncle ! C’est moi…

2146 Руб.Simenon Georges Maigret Travels
Eyes half-closed, head tilted against the back of his seat, he seemed not to be thinking, as the plane flew over a thick carpet of bright clouds. In reality, he was making an effort to bring names and shadowy figures to life, names and figures that even this morning had been as unknown to him as the inhabitants of another planet. The attempted suicide of a countess and the death of a billionaire in the same luxury Paris hotel send Maigret to the Riviera and then to Switzerland, as he searches for the truth amid the glittering world of the super-rich. This novel has been published in a previous translation as Maigret and the Millionaires.

2384 Руб.Simenon Georges Maigret is Afraid
'This was natural. It is the same everywhere. Rarely, however, had Maigret had such a strong sense of a clique. In a small town like this, of course there are the worthies, who are few and who inevitably meet each other several times a day, even if it is only in the street. Then there are the others, like those who stood huddled on the sidelines looking disgruntled.' Maigret's impromptu visit to an old college friend draws him into a murky investigation in a small provincial town ruled by snobbery, fear and intimidation.
