Wat is het algehele oordeel van de serie #Maigret?
Zich afspelend in #Parijs, maar met Engelse acteurs, met dikke Engelse accenten. Dat klinkt nog niet lekker. Geen woord Frans.

Maar is het verhaal goed?

CW: Complessi familiari, sessualità

​Nato Venerdì 13. 🐈‍⬛

​La madre di Georges Simenon mentì all'anagrafe registrandolo il 12 per scaramanzia. Inizia così la vita dell'uomo delle 10.000 donne e dei 400 libri.

​Oggi raccontiamo il rapporto devastante con la madre Henriette e il metodo di scrittura "in trance" che gli permetteva di finire un romanzo in 8 giorni.

Saw this deal from Humble Bundle. How are these books, #Bookstodon? I like mysteries but have not read this series before.

I’ve finished my first real book in #French: Maigret’s premier case « Pietr-le-Letton » by Georges #Simenon. Having only read short crime stories and abridged texts in French before, this one was much more complex regarding the language and also the plot. But I’ve really enjoyed it and can totally recommend #Maigret novels to other learners. Any ideas on suitable contemporary books for French learners? Maybe something romantic? #francais #language #languagelearning #crime #books #bookstodon

#TELEVISION Le Commissaire Maigret de George Simenon revient à l'écran grâce à une nouvelle série américaine

Le célèbre commissaire #Maigret, héros des #romans de #GeorgesSimenon, fait son grand retour sur nos #écrans dans une nouvelle #série signée par la chaine américaine #PBS. Cette #adaptation moderne promet de redonner vie à l'un des #détectives les plus emblématiques de la #littérature française, avec #BenjaminWainwright dans le rôle-titre. ActuaNews vous en dit…

Also, avoiding spoilers, the ending shows that #Maigret books are not Christie-type cosy crime puzzlers, where we meet several suspects and get to know them in detail to choose the killer

#Simenon instead uses the police procedural to explore the (often poignant) world of the victim or those close to them, with little interest in the actual murderer.

I feel like #SjöwallandWahlöö did this with #MartinBeck, but to a clearer political purpose. Simenon was a great writer but with less noble aims.

An autopsy in #Maigret and the Headless Corpse reveals a peculiarly French conception of what does and does not constitute being an alcoholic. Note that this is around lunchtime and Maigret himself seems to be on to his third drink of the day.

#GeorgesSimenon #Bookstodon

I've read the 1941 book Cours d'Assises by George #Simenon (translated in Dutch as De zaak Louis Bert). Simenon is famous for his detective novels starring inspector #Maigret, so it was very interesting to me that this psychological novel was a sort of anti-detective, anti-policier. The protagonist is a small-time crook who ends up in a monstrous judicial machinery that cares only about itself, its process, its judgements, and not at all about the people it judges.

Wonderful piece about Georges Simenon @bookstodon
