René Bazin
René Bazin (born December 26, 1853 in Angers , † July 20, 1932 in Paris ) was a French writer and professor of law at the Université Catholique de l'Ouest in Angers.
Life
He wrote well over 40 novels, short stories and travelogues. His country novels such as B. La terre qui meurt (1899) or Le Blé qui lève (1907), as well as his patriotic novel Les Oberlé (1901), appeared in large editions and were translated into numerous languages. But his socially critical novels like De toute son âme (1908) quickly found a wide readership. His thinking was deeply shaped by a traditional, earthly Catholicism. In 1903 he was elected to the Académie française . The biography of Charles de Foucauld that he wrote inspired René Voillaume to found the congregation of the Little Brothers of Jesus .
