Ci furono alcune settimane dolorose, snervanti. In ufficio o a casa, nel bel mezzo di un pasto, si ritrovava improvvisamente con la fronte bagnata di sudore, un senso di costrizione al petto e, in quei momenti, sentirsi tutti sotto gli occhi era insopportabile.' Durante un incontro fortuito sul treno da Venezia a Parigi, uno sconosciuto chiede a Justin Calmar di consegnargli una valigetta a un indirizzo in Svizzera. Presto questo comune uomo di famiglia verrà irrimediabilmente, fatalmente, intrappolato in un mondo di sensi di colpa, bugie e paranoia. Pubblicato originariamente nel 1965, poco dopo che Simenon si era trasferito nella nuova casa che aveva costruito a Épalinges, in Svizzera, questo romanzo agghiacciante è una potente esplorazione della fragilità della psiche umana.

Georges Simenon (Author)
Georges Simenon was born in Liège, Belgium, in 1903. An intrepid traveller with a profound interest in people, Simenon strove on and off the page to understand, rather than to judge, the human condition in all its shades. His novels 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. He died in 1989 in Lausanne, Switzerland, where he had lived for the latter part of his life.
