Biography

Abel Bonnard is known to have been one of the Ministers for the State education of Vichy, of 1942 with 1944, very favorable to collaboration with the Germany. The chronicler Jean Galtier-Boissière was maliciously to call it “the gestapette”, because of his notorious homosexuality and his proximity with the Nazis.

In 1932, it is elected member of the French Academy. It will be excluded from it in 1944, like Philippe Pétain and Charles Maurras, but, contrary to these two last, its armchair was to provide with alive sound. Condemned to death in absentia, Bonnard takes refuge in Spain where it obtains the political asylum after one year spent in the jails of Franco. In 1960, it returns to France, is rejugé and condemned to ten years years of banishment with effect starting from 1945. The sorrow was thus symbolic system and already purged but, not accepting this “moral fading”, Abel Bonnard preferred to turn over in Spain.
