Georges Simenon

Broschiertes Buch

When I Was Old

Beschreibung

Examining his tortuous writing methods, his past, his fame, his intimate relationships and his fears of ageing, the author reveals a man trying both to find and to escape himself.

Autor

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.
