Simenon Georges Maigret
Maigret shrugged his shoulders, buried his hands in his pockets and went off without answering. He had just spent one of the most wretched days in his life. For hours, in his corner he had felt old and feeble, without idea or incentive. But now a tiny flame flickered. 'You bet we'll see' he growled. 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.

Simenon Georges Maigret
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…

Simenon Georges Maigret s'amuse
Le petit vieux a barbichette sortait a nouveau de l’ombre de l’entrepot, a reculons, regardait a gauche et a droite, avec un geste des deux mains comme pour attirer vers lui le lourd camion dont il dirigeait la man?uvre. Ses mains disaient : – Un peu a droite… La… Tout droit… Doucement…A gauche… maintenant… Braquez… Et le camion, en marche arriere aussi, traversait maladroitement le trottoir, s’engageait dans la rue ou le petit vieux, maintenant, faisait signe aux voitures de s’arreter un instant.

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.

Simenon Georges Maigret Gets Angry
All that was still unclear, for sure. Ernest Malik had been right when he had looked at Maigret with a smile that was a mixture of sarcasm and contempt. This wasn't a case for him. He was out of his depth. This world was unfamiliar to him, and he had difficulty piecing it all together. Peacefully tending his garden in the countryside, Maigret is called upon to investigate a rich family with skeletons in their cupboard - and finds himself confronted by lies, snobbery and malice.

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.

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.
