Download or read book The Pitards written by Georges Simenon and published by Penguin UK. This book was released on 2017-08-31 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'Read him at your peril, avoid him at your loss' Sunday Times Captain Lannec has finally managed to buy his own ship with the financial help of his in-laws, the Pitards - and they've never let him forget it. When his temperamental wife Mathilde insists on coming along on the ship's first voyage, Lannec becomes increasingly unnerved by her presence, especially when he receives an anonymous note saying he won't make it back to port. As they hit a storm in the Atlantic, jealousy, spite, snobbery and suspicion are churned up in the boat's stiflingly close quarters... First published in 1935, The Pitards was one of the first novels Simenon wrote when he shelved his famous Maigret series in order to strike out in a new direction and make a name for himself as a literary writer. This gripping evocation of life at sea revolves around class and the tense unravelling of relationships, powerful themes that Simenon would return to throughout his writing career.

Book Synopsis Investigating Simenon by : Russell Campbell
Download or read book Investigating Simenon written by Russell Campbell and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2022-09-20 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For nearly a century, the work of Belgian crime writer and psychological novelist Georges Simenon, creator of Chief Inspector Maigret, has captivated readers worldwide. This investigation situates Simenon's work in its historical context and interprets it as a reaction to shifting gender relations in Western society. Simenon's compelling narratives capture the anxieties of men whose patriarchal position was under threat in an era of insurgent feminist movements. These concerns are also evident in Simenon's pervasive preoccupation with sexuality, as well as his political stance that stems from his petit-bourgeois upbringing. This groundbreaking study includes interwoven commentary on all 191 novels Simenon published under his own name, including several that have never been translated into English, as well as a number of short stories and several pseudonymous works.

It is an appalling story... This book compels us to re-think and re-write the history of the Cold War and the arms race."--From the foreword by Ramsey Clark, former Attorney General of the United States.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Finalmente, dopo tanti anni passati a comandare quelle degli altri, il capitano Lannec è riuscito a comprarsi una nave; e nonostante le proteste della suocera e le lacrime della moglie l’ha chiamata "Fulmine del Cielo", a evocare la sua imprecazione preferita. Ma dei soldi della suocera – dei soldi dei Pitard, con la loro spocchia di piccoli borghesi normanni arricchiti –, della sua malleveria, per comprarla ha pur avuto bisogno. Ed è perciò che Mathilde, sua moglie, ha preteso di fare la prima traversata insieme a lui – anche se tutto le sembra sporco, e soffre il mal di mare, e rimane quello che è: una vera Pitard! Ma non basta: alla partenza Lannec ha ricevuto un avvertimento anonimo e minaccioso: «il "Fulmine del Cielo" non arriverà mai in porto...». A poco a poco, come per un’inappellabile sentenza del tribunale che gli antichi chiamavano Fato, quello che doveva essere il primo, trionfale viaggio del "Fulmine del Cielo", si trasformerà in un incubo... «Ci sono scrittori che ammiro moltissimo: il Simenon dei "Pitard", per esempio, bisognerebbe parlarne tutti i giorni» (Louis-Ferdinand Céline).
