The Green Shutters de Georges Simenon

The Green Shutters: Penguin Modern Classics

Autor Georges Simenon Traducere de Howard Curtis
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 12 noi 2026

Sin and green shutters: both entailed lots of unexpected consequences that weren't easy to see at first glance . . .

In the autumn years of his illustrious career, 'The Great' Emile Maugin, a celebrated actor, receives devastating news: he does not have long left to live. Hounded by rage, alcoholism and the memories of his fractured childhood in the Vendée marshes, he haunts the stage doors and dimly-lit bars of pre-war Paris. Yet, faintly visible on the horizon of his mind, stands a white house with green shutters and manicured lawns, whose inhabitants lead the 'normal life' that lies just beyond Maugin's reach.

First published in 1950, The Green Shutters cuts to the depths of the human soul and asks: what is left to us when time runs out?

Notă biografică

Georges Simenon was born in Liège, 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.
