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.
Howard Curtis (Translator)
Howard Curtis has translated more than a hundred books, mostly
fiction, from French, Italian and Spanish for publishers in the UK
and the USA, including over twenty novels in the Penguin Simenon
series. He has won several major awards and has also taught
translation.
