SUMMARY:Great Crime Lecture: Louis Smit over Crime and Punishment
DESCRIPTION:Next in our Great Crime series: Louis Smit on Crime and Punishment by Fyodor Dostoevsky (lecture in Dutch) \nThe fifth lecture in Mayflower Bookshop’s Great Crime series will be given by Louis Smit on Fyodor Dostoevsky’s Crime and Punishment. This lecture\, given in Dutch\, will explore crime in Russian literature. \nIn this novel\, published in 1866\, a desperate former student robs and kills an old rich pawnbroker\, intending to use her money to break free out of poverty and do great deeds. Unlike most crime novels\, this isn’t a mystery or whodunnit. The reader knows from the beginning who the murderer is. \nRather\, Crime and Punishment focusses on the police’s pursuit of the killer and the psychological aspects\, such as how the killer tries to justify his actions while dealing with guilt over what he has done. Furthermore\, love and the unfortunate circumstances Russia finds itself in also come to play. \nThe novel is not all about the crime. The killer also faces punishment. Like Dostoevsky himself\, he ends up in a penal camp to pay for his crime.

SUMMARY:Great Crime lecture: Commissaire Maigret en zijn collega's
DESCRIPTION:The sixth lecture in Mayflower Bookshop’s Great Crime series will be given by Coco Hoek. Her lecture\, in Dutch\, will examine that greatest of all French fictional detectives\, Commissaire Maigret. But not just Maigret! \nShe will give an introduction to the life of his creator\, Georges Simenon\, and take a close look at one of his most baffling cases\, The Yellow Dog. But while Maigret was the undisputed King of Crime-solving for more than half a century\, we cannot overlook the fact that took his well-earned retirement in the 1970’s. Does that mean that one now gets away with murder in France? \nNo! Maigret has many successors\, and one of them\, Commissaire Dupin\, lives and works in Bretagne\, in the very town of Concarneau where Maigret solved the case of The Yellow Dog.  \nCoco Hoek will take you on a virtual trip to Concarneau\, where you will meet two commissaires and two authors. And we will look into two crimes. You’ll discover differences\, similarities\, and dark deeds. The Case of the Lying Midwife\, The Case of the Man in the Fog\, and The Case of the Stolen Plot – but is there a stolen plot?
