Georges Simenon (1903-1989) was born in Liège, Belgium. An intrepid traveler with a profound interest in people, Simenon strove on and off the page to understand--and not to judge--the human condition in all its shades. His books 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. David Coward is professor emeritus of French at the University of Leeds and a translator of many books from the French, including Albert Cohen's Belle du Seigneur, for which he was awarded a Scott Moncrieff Prize.
