When Emile Maugin, a famous veteran actor, discovers that a heart problem seriously threatens his health, he decides to reflect on his life. Arrogant, brusque, and cynical, yet at heart generous, he reigns as a tyrant over the small group of devoted subjects who surround him, including Alice, his very young second wife. The fear of death, however, looms over him inevitably and leads him to dream of making an old aspiration of his first wife come true: to live in a house with green shutters, a symbol of material success but also of the peaceful security that always exists. Will he be able to recognize the happiness within his reach before it's too late?…mehr

Autorenporträt
Georges Simenon (Lieja, Bélgica, 1903 - Lausana, Suiza, 1989) escribió ciento noventa y una novelas con su nombre, y un número impreciso de novelas y relatos publicados con pseudónimo, además de libros de memorias y textos dictados. El comisario Maigret es el protagonista de setenta y dos de estas novelas y treinta y un relatos, todos ellos publicados entre 1931 y 1972. Célebre en el mundo entero, reconocido ya como un maestro, hoy nadie duda de que sea uno de los mayores escritores del siglo XX.
