Dictionnaire Charles Péguy

About this book

Eternally current and unclassifiable, Charles Peguy is a key figure in French literature. Thinker, poet, journalist, philosopher, his work has multiple dimensions that are uncovered by the authors of this unique and unpublished dictionary. From his conception of socialism to his criticism of politics, from his fight for Dreyfus to his patriotic fervor, from his republican passion to his return to Christianity, the different parts of his life now light up each other. Paradoxes become continuities. Several major interviews punctuate the book, with Antoine Compagnon, Alain Finkielkraut, Jacques Julliard, André Kaspi, Michael Lonsdale, Olivier Péguy and René Dosière.--Albin Michel.
