About this ebook:
La cause est entendue : crime passionnel. Charles Alavoine, respectable médecin de La Roche-sur-Yon, assassin de Martine Englebert, sa maîtresse, est en prison. Mais au-delà du verdict, il reste la vérité humaine... Dans cette longue lettre au juge, peu après sa condamnation, Alavoine retrace les étapes du chemin qui l'a conduit au meurtre : l'autorité possessive d'une mère qui a décidé de ses études et de son mariage, puis d'une seconde femme, qui à son tour, supplantant la mère, va régenter sa vie. L'apparition de Martine, venue occuper un emploi de secrétaire après avoir mené à Paris une existence des plus libres, a d'abord été comme un grand souffle de liberté et de passion... Mais certaines rencontres ne sont-elles pas trop fortes pour un caractère timide et soumis ? La crainte, la jalousie, le confinement de la vie provinciale et du rôle social, l'explosion des pulsions trop longtemps contenues... Ces thèmes obsédants de l'univers romanesque propre à Georges Simenon trouvent ici une expression lucide, dépouillée, quasi désespérée.
