Here for your delectation is theSPECTACULAR & RARE------------------THE DOOR by Georges Simenon, Translated from the French by Daphne Woodward.Sans Jim Morrison..............................A reminder of the late author's insight and artistic understatement, this 1962 original retains force in Woodward's translation. Simenon creates a mood of impending tragedy as he recounts the thoughts tormenting Bernard Foy 20 years after his hands were blown off in WW II. Fitted with a mechanical device, Bernard paints lampshades at home in Paris while his adored wife, Nelly, works at an office job. Although they have lived and loved contentedly since their youth, Bernard begins to suspect Nelly's attentions to a neighbor in their apartment building. Never late returning from work, always affectionate, Nelly gives her husband no cause to doubt her fidelity. Still, Bernard, acting like his own Iago, feeds his jealousy until he gives in to the temptation to open the door to the apartment of his supposed rival. The unsuspected ending seems inevitable. Portraying the frailties of the human psyche, Simenon creates characters with the presence of his renowned Inspector Maigret. Georges Joseph Christian Simenon (13 February 1903 – 4 September 1989) was a Belgian writer. A prolific author who published nearly 200 novels and numerous short works, Simenon is best known as the creator of the fictional detective Jules Maigret.NOT TO BE MISSED!!!
