Georges Simenon -Tre camere a Manhattan
Stanlio
New York, night.
A man and a woman walk down Fifth Avenue.
They enter a bar.
They come out.
Another bar.
And they resume walking, tireless, as if there were nothing else they could do but walk: "as if they had always walked like this, through the streets of New York, at five in the morning."
As if the night should never end.
He knows nothing about her, she knows nothing about him.
She wobbles a bit on her heels that are too high... (cit. Adelphi) more
Georges Simenon -Il viaggiatore del giorno dei Morti
Stanlio
With an overly long coat and an incongruous fur hat on his head, a pale and feverish young man disembarks, on the eve of the Day of the Dead, in La Rochelle from a cargo ship coming from Trondheim. He will discover that he is the heir to his uncle's vast fortune, a man unknown to him, who lived in fierce solitude. He will also discover that his uncle held all the wealthy notables of the city in his grip, gathered in a sinister syndicate. (cited Adelphi) more

- they think of him: that he is a wasted talent, a lawyer who no longer takes on cases, a grumpy and useless drunk hiding at home like a wounded animal.
But that night, suddenly, something happens that forces the bear to leave its den: a gunshot, a shadow that fades down a hallway, and in a disused room on the second floor a man dying before his eyes.
What is that intruder doing in his house?
Who killed him?
What secrets does the old home hide behind its drowsy ancient walls?
And what torments his daughter, another stranger, behind that calm and submissive appearance? (cit. Adelphi) more

- Finally, after so many years commanding others' ships, Captain Lannec has managed to buy himself a vessel; and despite his mother-in-law's protests and his wife's tears, he has named it Fulmine del Cielo, to evoke his favorite curse.
- Little by little, as if by an unappealable court ruling that the ancients called Fate, what was meant to be the first, triumphant voyage of the Fulmine del Cielo will turn into a nightmare... (quoted from Adelphi) more
Georges Simenon -In caso di disgrazia
Stanlio
With a master's touch, Simenon takes us through all the stages of a turbulent and tragic amour fou, gifting us one of his most intensely erotic, heartbreaking, and passionate novels. (cit. Adelphi) more
Georges Simenon -Il primogenito dei Ferchaux
Stanlio
- what interests Simenon is the game played between two beings initially connected by a secret complicity: the old man, who believes he can find something of himself in the boy but also senses his insubstantiality and cruelty, and the young man, who after being captivated by the adventurer ultimately ends up holding him in his power...

Pursuing two seemingly irreconcilable poetics, that of digression and that of conciseness, he manages to shed the greatest light on a subject precisely when he seems to be speaking of something else: he evokes a historical atmosphere by delving into the details of the process...
