First American printing. ; Inspector Maigret; 7 ¾" - 9 ¾" Tall; 164 pages; "For six months a plain young woman had been pestering Maigret with the complain that the furniture in her apartment, shared with an aunt, mysteriously shifted position at night. Everyone at police headquarters was convinced it was all imagination, and they teased Maigret about his 'girl friend.' Her endless patience got on his nerves, and even her spinsterish look irritated him. No wonder he put off seeing her on a particularly busy day. It was a postponement he came to regret. As Maigret endeavors to solve a case in which he considers himself guilty, he must reconstruct events that have gathered dust for years, wade through interrogations of witnesses who want to mislead him, and try to get inside the mind of a greedy, mistrustful old woman.".

"'Uncle Antoine died on Tuesday, on Halloween, probably about eleven o'clock in the evening. That same night, Colette tried to throw herself out of the window.' This is the dramatic start of a family saga, compressed into Simenon's tight, spare shaping. The patriarch's death reveals itself as suicide and triggers various emotions in the rest of the family. The essence of private lives, strange loyalties, and unconquerable frustrations comes to the surface. Simenon evokes with complete conviction a French provincial town where people live under the constant scrutiny of their neighbors, suffocated by sameness, yet unable to escape, even if thrown a lifeline."

He talks to him, takes him for long walks. A clever animal, Bib can play dead, close doors, and do back somersaults. He may even once have been a circus dog. " Regarding the world with the cold eye of a camera, the old man remembers, takes stock of his life - as he prepares to leave it. " But at Sacre-Coeur, on a flight of steps in a park overlooking Paris, he passes a couple: the man a dwarf with a hairless, monstrous head, the woman a cripple with her legs in braces. They are a couple radiant with love for each other and full of joy in the anticipation of the famous view of the city. Suddenly Monsieur Felix is no longer sure of his detachment. Emotions surface, troubling scenes from the past: lust, pride, jealousy, prison . . . " Here is a superb study of how the disease of egoism can eat away at a man's happiness. Simenon presents, as few writers can, both the bleakness and the poetry of human existence.". Illustrated by Bacon, Paul (Cover) (ilustrador). …

The theft brings him in contact with Francois, a young man living on the fringes of the movie world.

The victim, a student, dies, having thrown no light on the motive for his death. Slowly, as Maigret explores the dark world of guilt and innocence, he discovers that this is no ordinary killing . . . No ordinary corpse. ". Illustrated by Davidson, Ruby (Cover) (ilustrador).…

Overall, a nice copy. ; Ex-Library; 7¾" - 9¾" Tall; 188 pages; "A blizzard in Connecticut forms the backdrop of Simenon's sensitive probing into human relationships, between man and man, husband and wife, lover and mistress. What is their true reality, under the sham appearance? "The confrontation with truth here comes when the happenings of a single night cataclysmically change a man's whole life. How and why do we fail in a crucial emergency? Donald, a middle-aged lawyer faces [this anguishing question] on the way home from an overanimated cocktail party, cut short by the approach of a blizzard. The consequences of a subtly motivated act of cowardice throw him out of the rut of marriage and professional life. "In the last analysis, however, this is another lynx-eyed view of a seemingly perfect marriage and of the crushing impact of a self-righteous female perfectionist on a normally fallible man.".

Translated by Christopher Sinclair-Stevenson. ; 7 ¾" - 9 ¾" Tall; 148 pages; " The Move bears witness to Simenon's gift for renewal. It is a suspense story which shows the constants of human behavior in the setting of new urban life. An average office employee on the way up decides to make a dramatic change; from a dingy apartment in the heart of Paris he moves with his wife and teen-age son to one of the latest housing developments on the outskirts of the city, a no man's land of withering neutrality. " The apartment house, for all its gloss and marble, is anything but soundproof, and a particularly thin partition between his and the next-door bedroom makes Emile first an inadvertent and later an avid eavesdropper on the strange nocturnal doings and conversations of his neighbors. Partly disgusted, partly fascinated, he becomes the secret sharer of their most intimate confidences. His curiosity irrevocably stirred, he is carried away headlong from his humdrum blinkered existence into very troubled waters indeed. ". Illustrated by Harris, Karolina (Cover) (ilustrador).…
