Georges Simenon (Author)
Georges Simenon was born in Li ge, Belgium, in 1903. An intrepid
traveller with a profound interest in people, Simenon strove on and
off the page to understand, rather than to judge, the human
condition in all its shades. His novels include the Inspector
Maigret series and a richly varied body of wider work united by its
evocative power, its economy of means, and its penetrating
psychological insight. He is among the most widely read writers in
the global canon. He died in 1989 in Lausanne, Switzerland, where
he had lived for the latter part of his life.
A unique teller of tales ... What interested Simenon was the
average man losing control of his own fate
