Pietr-Le-Letton(Presses-Pocket)

Format: Paperback

Condition: Poor Condition — £26.50
What do the conditions mean?

Our conditions mean the following:

  • New - a brand new book
  • Almost New - appears new but is actually secondhand.
  • Very Good - only minor imperfections such as minor scuffs to edge or cover or a price written in pencil or shop sticker.
  • Standard Secondhand - Clearly been read before, but not too bad. We do not recommend these for gifting. Spines usually creased. Could also include creases or folds to cover, some writing such as in the cover or elsewhere, underlining or highlighting, but might not do. Possibly some stains or marks. Similar in general to books in any secondhand shop or charity shop.
  • Poor Condition - Usually this will have a specific problem such as writing inside, water damage, missing dust jacket, heavy staining, large creases or cuts. These are readable copies but not nice ones. On other websites this condition is called 'Acceptable' or 'Fair' , but we want to be more honest.

Au cours de l'été 1929, Simenon, qui naviguait en mer du Nord, est obligé de s'arrêter pour réparer dans un petit port hollandais. En attendant, il s'installe dans une péniche abandonnée. " Cette péniche où j'installai une grande caisse pour ma machine à écrire, une caisse moins importante pour mon derrière, allait devenir le berceau de Maigret. Allais-je écrire un roman populaire comme les autres ? Une heure après, je commençais à devoir se dessiner la masse puissante et impassible d'un monsieur qui, me sembla-t-il, ferait un commissaire acceptable. Pendant le reste de la journée, j'ajoutais quelques accessoires : une pipe, un chapeau melon, un épais pardessus à col de velours. Et je lui accordai, pour son bureau, un vieux poêle de fonte ". Le lecteur qui ouvre pour la première fois l'inquiétant " Pietr-le-Letton ", ne se doute peut-être pas qu'il va assister à un événement considérable :la naissance de Maigret.
