'Read him at your peril, avoid him at your loss' Sunday Times Captain Lannec has finally managed to buy his own ship with the financial help of his in-laws, the Pitards - and they've never let him forget it. When his temperamental wife Mathilde insists on coming along on the ship's first voyage, Lannec becomes increasingly unnerved by her presence, especially when he receives an anonymous note saying he won't make it back to port. As they hit a storm in the Atlantic, jealousy, spite, snobbery and suspicion are churned up in the boat's stiflingly close quarters... First published in 1935, The Pitards was one of the first novels Simenon wrote when he shelved his famous Maigret series in order to strike out in a new direction and make a name for himself as a literary writer. This gripping evocation of life at sea revolves around class and the tense unravelling of relationships, powerful themes that Simenon would return to throughout his writing career.

" Ne fais pas trop le malin. Quelqu'un qui sait ce qu'il dit t'annonce que le Tonnerre de Dieu n'arrivera pas à bon port. Ce quelqu'un a bien l'honneur de te saluer et de dire le bonjour à Mathilde. " Qui a bien pu écrire ces lignes couchées sur une feuille de mauvais papier qu'Émile vient de trouver dans sa cabine ? Qui ose lui gâcher son plaisir alors qu'il vient tout juste d'acheter son cargo après des années de labeur ? Et pourquoi mentionner Mathilde, son épouse ? Comment expliquer qu'Émile se sente à ce point surveillé alors que rien ne va comme prévu ?... Un farceur sûrement... Oui, c'est cela, un farceur... Mais de la farce au drame, il n'y a parfois qu'un pas...

Finalmente, dopo tanti anni passati a comandare quelle degli altri, il capitano Lannec è riuscito a comprarsi una nave; e nonostante le proteste della suocera e le lacrime della moglie l’ha chiamata "Fulmine del Cielo", a evocare la sua imprecazione preferita. Ma dei soldi della suocera – dei soldi dei Pitard, con la loro spocchia di piccoli borghesi normanni arricchiti –, della sua malleveria, per comprarla ha pur avuto bisogno. Ed è perciò che Mathilde, sua moglie, ha preteso di fare la prima traversata insieme a lui – anche se tutto le sembra sporco, e soffre il mal di mare, e rimane quello che è: una vera Pitard! Ma non basta: alla partenza Lannec ha ricevuto un avvertimento anonimo e minaccioso: «il "Fulmine del Cielo" non arriverà mai in porto...». A poco a poco, come per un’inappellabile sentenza del tribunale che gli antichi chiamavano Fato, quello che doveva essere il primo, trionfale viaggio del "Fulmine del Cielo", si trasformerà in un incubo... «Ci sono scrittori che ammiro moltissimo: il Simenon dei "Pitard", per esempio, bisognerebbe parlarne tutti i giorni» (Louis-Ferdinand Céline).

For nearly a century, the work of Belgian crime writer and psychological novelist Georges Simenon, creator of Chief Inspector Maigret, has captivated readers worldwide. This investigation situates Simenon's work in its historical context and interprets it as a reaction to shifting gender relations in Western society. Simenon's compelling narratives capture the anxieties of men whose patriarchal position was under threat in an era of insurgent feminist movements. These concerns are also evident in Simenon's pervasive preoccupation with sexuality, as well as his political stance that stems from his petit-bourgeois upbringing. This groundbreaking study includes interwoven commentary on all 191 novels Simenon published under his own name, including several that have never been translated into English, as well as a number of short stories and several pseudonymous works.

This critical edition of the Registers of the Consistory of Geneva in the time of Calvin reveals what life was like during the Protestant Reformation in a city where ecclesiastical discipline affected many. These valuable primary source documents- the great bulk of which have remained unknown to most modern researchers- are of capital importance for study of this seminal period in church history. Volume 1 records the activity of the Consistory between 1542 and 1544. Arbitration of disputes, surveillance of morals, repression of the vestiges of the Catholic cult, promotion of the Reformed mode of living, resolution of matrimonial cases- this is a general sketch of the Consistory's work during its earliest days. Rich in details pertaining to daily life and piety in Geneva, these noteworthy historical documents testify to the immense role played by the church in society at the beginning of the Reformation.

Anything Goes finds Garven Wilsonhulme, a boyish prankster, champion college wrestler, and sociopathic driven competitor struggling his way to the pinnacle of success in his university life. There is nothing he will not do to get into medical school--nothing. He is willing to use his friends, destroy his enemies, lie, cheat, and steal to get there if that is what it takes. Anything Goes is the story of how that success is achieved and at what cost--to himself, to his family, and even to his friends. That cost includes alienating the most prominent professor at Stanford, which is only the beginning of his willingness to take on all comers.
