Life

Charles Le Goffic's tomb in Trégastel

Le Goffic was born the son of a printer. He developed a love for literature at an early age. He spent his childhood in Perros-Guirec or in Trégastel . He first worked as a teacher in Gap , Évreux , Nevers and Le Havre . Together with Maurice Barrès and Raymond de Tailhède, he founded the literary magazine Les Chroniques in 1886 . He has also published several volumes of poetry and novels such as Amour breton , Le Bois dormant or Le Pardon de la reine Anne .

His love for Brittany , his homeland, is often expressed in his works . His short stories Passions Celtes , published in 1910, had a major impact on the Breton Renaissance. One of these short stories was written especially for the opera Le Pays , which was staged by Guy Ropartz .

On May 22, 1930 he was elected to the board of the Académie française, after he had been proposed four times since 1923 and failed twice in the elections.

Le Goffic was married to Julie Fleury (1870-1944) since October 1888, with whom he had a daughter Hervine (1901-1919), who died early at the age of 17. He owned a house in Trégastel, where he spent much of his life. He was also an officer in the French Legion of Honor (Légion d'honneur). He died on February 12, 1932 and was buried in the family grave in Trégastel, where his wife and daughter also rest.
