Maigret's World
Georges Simenon's 75 novels and 28 short stories that feature Chief Inspector Jules Maigret provide us with a great deal of information about the French police detective--but only in small, episodic doses. As readers become acquainted with Maigret one detail at a time, he slowly takes on a flesh-and-bone realism--not merely a character in a story, but someone we would like to meet in real life. This book presents all the canonical facts and details about the detective and his world in one place, presented with tabulations and analyses that enable a better understanding of the works and of Maigret himself.
Le roman policier
Le roman policier existe depuis 150 ans, et malgré son ancienneté, il trouve difficilement sa place dans l'institution littéraire, alors qu'il est lu par des millions de lecteurs. Sous cette étiquette se cachent en fait des réalités très différentes. Il est donc utile de retracer l'évolution historique de ce genre protéiforme, d'Edgar Poe à Daniel Pennac, pour en saisir les multiples facettes. Ce parcours suppose que soit définie la notion de genre, et que le roman policier soit bien déterminé par rapport à plusieurs domaines proches comme le fantastique, le mythe, le nouveau roman ou le fait divers. Ces explorations, principalement basées sur le récit d'énigme, nous font redécouvrir la richesse du patrimoine policier francophone, à travers les œuvres d'Emile Gaboriau, Maurice Leblanc, Gaston Leroux, Pierre Véry, Claude Aveline, Simenon et Steeman ou les auteurs du néo-polar. Au sein de la paralittérature, le genre policier est ici abordé sous l'angle générique, structurel, thématique, sociologique, historique...

Simenon, la vie d'abord
“ Le plus beau roman de Simenon, c’est sa vie. Une vie flamboyante, hors normes, intense, à bout de souffle, à l’inverse de la vie grise de ses personnages. Cette vie, je la raconte comme un roman, comme un attentat ou, si vous voulez, comme un film, collant au plus près au tempo vital du romancier. Enfance et jeunesse tapageuse à Liège, années folles à Paris, création de Maigret, voyages, vie de star, décors exotiques et ensoleillés, période de guerre plus obscure, déserts américains et bistrots de Maigret, témoignages en direct, cadrages serrés sur l’intime, sur les drames personnels et sur tant de silhouettes de femmes… Mais cette écriture ne doit en rien masquer...

Vampires in Italian Cinema, 1956-1975
Positioning itself at the intersection of Italian film history, horror studies and cultural studies, this fascinating book asks why, and how, was the protean, transnational and transmedial figure of the vampire appropriated by Italian cinema practitioners between 1956 and 1975? The book outlines both the 1945-85 industrial context of Italian cinema and the political, economic and sociocultural context of the Italian Republic, from post-war reconstruction to the austerity of the mid-1970s. Using case studies of films by directors such as Mario Bava and Riccardo Freda, it also delves into lesser-known gems of Italian psychotronic cinema from the 1960s and 1970s, like L'amante del vampiro (The ...

César Franck
C sar Franck (1822-1890), Belgian born and French domiciled, was one of the most remarkable composers of the 19th century. A number of his works are commonly recorded--such as his Symphony in D Minor, Symphonic Variations, Violin Sonata, and the ever-popular Panis Angelicus--and yet 38 years have elapsed since a biography of him appeared in English. Now with C sar Franck: His Life and Times, R. J. Stove fills this gap in the history of late 19th-century classical music with a full-length study of the man and his music. Drawing on sources never before cited in English, Stove paints a far more detailed picture of this great musician and deeply loved man, whose influence in both his native and ...
