Maigret et le corps sans tête | Georges Simenon
6 posts | 2 read
Une femme intrigante - Dans le canal Saint-Martin à Paris, au-dessus de l'écluse des Récollets, des mariniers repêchent le bras d'un homme. La police trouve les autres parties du corps sauf la tête. Une femme intrigante Dans le canal Saint-Martin à Paris, au-dessus de l'écluse des Récollets, des mariniers repêchent le bras d'un homme. La police trouve les autres parties du corps sauf la tête. Maigret, appelé sur les lieux, se rend, pour téléphoner, dans un bistrot du quai de Valmy où la patronne lui répond de façon laconique. Le commissaire y revient le lendemain pour interroger le patron parti depuis quelques jours. Vieillie avant l'âge, s'adonnant à la boisson, indifférente, Aline Callas l'intrigue... Adapté pour la télévision en 1974, par Marcel Cravenne, avec Jean Richard (Commissaire Maigret) et Suzanne Flon (Aline Callas), et en 1992, dans une réalisation de Serge Leroy, avec Bruno Cremer (Commissaire Maigret) et Aurore Clément (Aline Callas). Retrouvez Simenon au Livre de Poche et dans les anthologies publiées chez Omnibus, une collection des Presses de la Cité.

I should probably have stopped early on; the cops are surprised that the headless corpse seems to be a man and thus consider it worth investigating, because « normally » they‘d see women being dismembered, and nine times out of ten said woman would be a prostitute. Like maybe they should be trying to stop whoever‘s killing women? Ugh.

“There was no lack of colorful individuals in a neighborhood like Quai de Valmy.But he had seldom encountered the kind of inertia he had seen in that woman.It was hard to explain.When most people look at you, there is some sort of exchange, however small.A contact is established, even if that contact is a kind of defiance.With her, on the contrary there is nothing.â€
A baffling case involving a dismembered body & puzzling inertia of a bistro owner.

BarbaraBB You can‘t go wrong with Simenon! 5y
Librarybelle Awesome! 5y
JazzFeathers I have never read Simenon. I hear he's one of those authors that you either love or hate. Mhm... there are new translations coming out here in Italy at the moment. The translator is a friend of my sister's. Sounds like a good occasion. 5y
