Maurice Barrès

283 books34 followersFollowFollowAuguste-Maurice Barrès (19 August 1862 – 4 December 1923) was a French novelist, journalist and politician. Spending some time in Italy, he became a figure in French literature with the release of his work The Cult of the Self in 1888. In politics, he was first elected to the Chamber of Deputies in 1889 as a Boulangist and would play a prominent political role for the rest of his life.Barrès was associated in his literary works with Symbolism, a movement which had equivalence with British Aestheticism and Italian Decadentism, indeed he was a close associate of Gabriele d'Annunzio representing the latter. As the name of his trilogy suggests, his works glorified a humanistic love of the self and he also flirted with occult mysticisms in his youth. The Dreyfus affair saw an ideological shift and he was a leading anti-Dreyfusard, popularising the term nationalisme to describe his views. He stood on a platform of "Nationalism, Protectionism and Socialism."Politically, he became involved with various groups such as the Ligue des Patriotes of Paul Déroulède, which he became the leader of in 1914. Barrès was close to Charles Maurras founder of Action Française, a monarchist party. Despite the fact that he remained a republican, Barrès would have a strong influence on various following French monarchists, as well as various other figures. During the First World War, he was a strong supporter of the Union Sacrée. In later life, Barrès returned to the Catholic faith and was involved in a campaign to restore French church buildings and helped establish 24 June as a national day of remembrance for St. Joan of Arc.

Sin embargo debido a su ascenso y prosperidad acabará por levantar recelos entre el obispado acabando en un conflicto con este. Un conflicto que a la postré arrojará a los hermanos a la rebeldía y ulterior herejía apocalíptica bajo la tutela del místico Vintras, que a la sazón se creía un nuevo profeta Elías.La novela nos la cuenta un narrador, trasunto de Barrés, que en el primer capítulo, años después de los sucesos se dedica a recopilar información de la peripecia, debido al recelo que todavía encuentra entre las autoridades para hablar sobre aquello. Y se cierra con un epílogo donde él mismo reflexiona sobre las potencias que allí disputaron: fuerzas ancestrales de la naturaleza frente a la paz de la capilla, de los espíritus libres frente a la regla del catolicismo, del estusiasmo frente al orden. Fuerzas que al final pese a enfrentarse también se complementan, dejando así que el paraje, pasados los años, siga mantiendo una fuerza espiritual inusitada para aquel que sea capaz de contemplar. Frédéric De70 reviewsFollowFollowJuly 15, 2025Admirable, inoubliable. Superbe roman. Un côté Vincenot donnant de l’importance aux vieilles pierres, aux anciennes collines et lieux mystiques dont l’homme tire de l’énergie depuis que le monde est monde. Et puis une très belle introduction de l’Eglise et de sa tradition millénaire dans ces lieux sacrés, mais cette fois éclairée par la vraie foi et la doctrine hiérarchique. L’histoire de Léopold Baillard et de ses 2 frères prêtres est émouvante et édifiante. Le style de Barrès est superbe, sans fioriture, et n’a pas le côté suranné qui peut exister chez ces auteurs du début du siècle Displaying 1 - 2 of 2 reviews
