Description

It’s hardly worth introducing Georges Simenon—the creator of the famous Maigret. We want to acquaint you with another Simenon who wrote about love. Of course, the contents of the novels included in this collection are not limited to a love intrigue. Both "The Truth About Babe Donge" (1942), "A Letter to the Prosecutor" (1947), and "Big Bob" (1954) are multi-layered works: before us passes a kaleidoscope of complex human fates. The heroes’ happy moments are fleeting. Often, trying to reach one another, they fail to understand each other—and the bright feeling turns into tragedy, torment, and even a crime.

That is Simenon, who didn’t believe in the constancy of happiness.
