Maigret Goes to School Zusammenfassung

Maigret Goes to School: Inspector Maigret #44 Georges Simenon

'His artistry is supreme' John Banville

'What was he doing there? A hundred times, in the middle of an investigation, he'd had the same feeling of helplessness or, rather, futility. He would find himself abruptly plunged into the lives of people he had never met before, and his job was to discover their most intimate secrets. This time, as it happened, it wasn't even his job. He was the one who had chosen to come, because a teacher had waited for him for hours in the Purgatory at the Police Judiciaire.'

When a school teacher from a small coastal town near La Rochelle asks Maigret to help prove he is innocent of murder, the Inspector returns with him to his insular community and finds the residents closing ranks to conceal the truth.

'Compelling, remorseless, brilliant' John Gray

Maigret Goes to School Bewertungen

Praise for Georges Simenon:

One of the greatest writers of the twentieth century . . . Simenon was unequaled at making us look inside, though the ability was masked by his brilliance at absorbing us obsessively in his stories. -The Guardian

These Maigret books are as timeless as Paris itself. -The Washington Post

Maigret ranks with Holmes and Poirot in the pantheon of fictional detective immortals. -People

I love reading Simenon. He makes me think of Chekhov. -William Faulkner

The greatest of all, the most genuine novelist we have had in literature. -Andre Gide

A supreme writer . . . Unforgettable vividness. -The Independent (London)

Superb . . . The most addictive of writers . . . A unique teller of tales. -The Observer (London)

Compelling, remorseless, brilliant. -John Gray

A truly wonderful writer . . . Marvelously readable-lucid, simple, absolutely in tune with the world he creates. -Muriel Spark

A novelist who entered his fictional world as if he were a part of it.lle -Peter Ackroyd

Extraordinary masterpieces of the twentieth century. -John Banville

Gem-hard soul-probes . . . not just the world's bestselling detective series, but an imperishable literary legend . . . he exposes secrets and crimes not by forensic wizardry, but by the melded powers of therapist, philosopher and confessor Times (London)

Strangely comforting . . . so many lovely bistros from the Paris of mid-20th C. The corpses are incidental, it's the food that counts. Margaret Atwood

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. Financial Times

Gripping . . . richly rewarding . . . You'll quickly find yourself obsessing about his life as you tackle each mystery in turn.-- Stig Abell The Sunday Times (London)
