Mr. Prime Minister. Simenon J.

French writer Georges Simenon is known to the whole world as the creator of one of the most charming detectives of the twentieth century - Commissioner Megre. However, in addition to stories about the phlegmatic Parisian commissar, Simenon wrote many novels and stories in a variety of genres. The real edition included two remarkable works marked by the seal of genuine literary skill, which can be attributed to the genre of psychological novel.

In the novel “Dirt in the Snow”, possibly the deepest and most ambiguous work of Simenon, the story of a nineteen -year -old killer was told living in a city occupied by enemy troops. “In the novel“ Dirt in the Snow, ”the author wrote,“ I wanted to describe the vileness inherent in the occupation and what influence they could have on the young man with his thirst for life... I wanted to see how low he could fall and how he would be able to get out of the mud ". He dictates memoirs to the secretary, with a hidden joy listens to the news about the crisis in the country and tries to cope with the ghosts of the past.
