Georges Simenon

The Fugitive (1948) by Georges Simenon, the master of psychological crime fiction, follows the story of Jean-Paul Émond, a young convict who escapes from a prison in Paris. Set in the dark atmosphere of the 1940s, the novel explores themes of freedom, gui

Known for his deep characterizations, Simenon skillfully portrays Émond’s inner struggle as he hides in the Parisian underworld, facing his own demons and a relentless pursuit by the police.

Driven by desperation and an instinct for survival, Émond makes contact with marginal characters – prostitutes, petty criminals and vagrants – who help him but also threaten his safety. His escape is not only physical, but also an attempt to escape from his past and his feelings of worthlessness.

Simenon masterfully builds tension, using a minimalist style and precise descriptions to create a claustrophobic atmosphere. A key relationship develops between Émond and the young waitress Lisa, who offers him moments of hope but also further complicates his situation.

Through Émond’s fate, Simenon raises questions about justice, freedom and the possibility of redemption in an unforgiving world. The novel, although shorter, leaves a strong impression thanks to the psychological depth and moral complexity characteristic of Simenon's non-Maigret works.
