Jean Schlumberger
Jean Schlumberger (born May 26, 1877 in Gebweiler , Reichsland Alsace-Lorraine , † October 25, 1968 in Paris ) was a German - French journalist and writer .
Life
Jean Schlumberger comes from a wealthy Alsatian family. His brothers were the geophysicists and geologists Conrad and Marcel Schlumberger .
In 1909, together with André Gide and others “from the spirit of the elite”, he founded the magazine Nouvelle Revue Française , “of which it can be said that it was the cradle of literary modernism in France”. In 1926 he founded the Franco-German Study Committee together with Emil Mayrisch . After the Second World War he worked for the magazine Allemagne d'aujourd'hui . Schlumberger was in Paris the "second father" of the German writer Joseph Breitbach , who in 1962 dedicated his novel Report on Bruno to him and his own father .
Schlumberger turned away from his original Protestantism and advocated agnosticism . Original sin no longer existed for him, but his literary characters fight a constant battle between instinct and conscience , good and bad. He advocated the primacy of undisguised truth and truthfulness that was ruthless towards oneself on the one hand over propriety on the other.
