About this listen
Des notables peu recommandables...
À Concarneau, des faits troublants mettent la ville en émoi. On tente d'assassiner M. Mostaguen, au sortir de sa partie de cartes quotidienne à l'Hôtel de l'Amiral. Le sort s'acharne sur ses partenaires, car, deux jours après l'arrivée de Maigret, Jean Servières, rédacteur au Phare de Brest, disparaît ; le siège avant de sa voiture est maculé de sang. M. Le Pommeret meurt chez lui, empoisonné. Le docteur Michoux pense être le suivant.

Story
"L'Assommoir", septième volume de la série "Les Rougon-Macquart" publié en 1877, est considéré comme le plus grand roman d'Émile Zola. L'ouvrage est totalement consacré au monde ouvrier et, selon Zola, c'est "le premier roman sur le peuple, qui ne mente pas et qui ait l'odeur du peuple". L'écrivain y restitue la langue et les mœurs des ouvriers, tout en décrivant les ravages causés par la misère et l'alcoolisme. "L'Assommoir" raconte la grandeur puis la décadence de Gervaise Macquart, honnête blanchisseuse de la Goutte d'Or dans le Paris populaire de 1850.

Un enregistrement exceptionnel : les cinq volumes des "Misérables", un des plus grands romans de la littérature française, enfin disponibles en livre audio. Jean Valjean, Cosette, les Thénardier, Gavroche, ou encore Javert sont autant de noms qui résonnent au-delà de l'histoire qui les a fait naître. Ces misérables sont décrits à la fois comme des archétypes du genre humain, mais aussi comme les produits d'une société génératrice de pauvreté, d'ignorance et de désespoir.

"Avec Mathilde, jamais une balle plus haute que l'autre, du travail propre et sans bavures. Ce soir est une exception. Une fantaisie. Elle aurait pu agir de plus loin, faire moins de dégâts, et ne tirer qu'une seule balle, bien sûr." Dans ce réjouissant jeu de massacre où l'on tue tous les affreux, Pierre Lemaitre joue en virtuose de sa plume caustique. Avec cette œuvre de jeunesse inédite, il fait cadeau à ses lecteurs d'un roman noir et subversif qui marque ses adieux au genre. Dialogues cinglants, portraits saisissants, scénario impitoyable : du pur Pierre Lemaitre.

In 1913, the Viennese aristocracy is gathering to celebrate the 17th jubilee of the accession of Emperor Franz Josef, even as the Austro-Hungarian Empire is collapsing and the rest of Vienna is showing signs of rebellion. At the centre of this social labyrinth is Ulrich: a veteran, a seducer and a scientist, yet also a man 'without qualities' and therefore a brilliant and detached observer of his changing world.

Two little girls stand with their heads bowed in my living room. I’m told they’re my granddaughters. Daisy is nine, and Alice seven. Daisy is the spitting image of her mother. This is the first time I’ve met them since my daughter and I fell out after she married that waste of space, Vince. They’ve come to live with me because their mother — my daughter — was murdered. In her own home while they slept close by. I think Vince killed her. But the police can’t prove it. I’ve always known he was no good. He treated my daughter like dirt. I said he’d cheat on her — but she wouldn’t listen.

Story
Kidnappers grabbed Jenna in broad daylight, right in front of her children and their horrified classmates. Her family was issued an insane ransom demand: $25 million in cash and jewels, payable by the end of the school day, otherwise they’ll never see her again. As Jenna’s mother scrambles to gather the money, detectives Mo Butler and George Ortega follow the trail of the kidnappers, which will lead them through a sordid landscape of jealous lovers, broken dreamers, and twisted schemers. But every second counts, and there’s one thing Jenna Wade doesn’t have: very much time.

Story
My fiancé brought me tea and scrambled eggs in bed that morning, and we snuggled together, talking about buying our rings, and about our perfect wedding next year. Then we headed into town. He held my hand and gazed at the ring I liked best, a smile spreading slowly over his face. Then a glass of bubbly to celebrate. I felt flushed, excited and ready for the rest of my life with the man I loved. We race to get on the train home. It screams to a halt and I run towards its open doors. Made it. I think he’s right behind me — but when I turn around, he’s gone.

Story
Jazz Bashara is a criminal. Well, sort of. Life on Artemis, the first and only city on the moon, is tough if you're not a rich tourist or an eccentric billionaire. So smuggling in the occasional harmless bit of contraband barely counts, right? Not when you've got debts to pay and your job as a porter barely covers the rent. Everything changes when Jazz sees the chance to commit the perfect crime, with a reward too lucrative to turn down.

Classic Maigret
Le Chien Jaune is an early Simenon/Maigret - the larger than life Maigret, the emphatic Maigret. It is a mystery of betrayal and revenge in a provincial town where an unscrupulous clique of high-heeled boys rules, but whose mutual luck is just starting to unravel. Le Chien Jaune -- the yellow dog -- a large, fearless breed -- seems to appear after criminal attacks, and becomes an omen for the ignorant.
Simenon is a superb writer. His prose is spare and taut. The ending - Maigret gathering all the parties in the courtyard of a citadel for cross examination - is classic - please note that this novel predates Christie's, Murder on the Orient Express, by three years. The narrator has wonderful pronunciation. It is unabridged.
