Course

Resulting from a Norman family, nationalist middle-class woman and installed in the XVII {{E}} district of Paris, torn by the marital problems and of money. Raise Private school of political sciences, it is traumatisé by the First World War, during which it is wounded with three recoveries. the comedy of Charleroi , collection of news published in 1934, takes as a starting point its experiment of the war. He marries in 1917 Colette Jéramec, which he divorces in 1925.

Near to the Surrealist in the Years 1920 (particularly of Aragon, with which it is scrambled shortly after), it is also interested in the French Action, while adhering to none of these currents. It is made known, in 1922, by a noticed test, Mesure of France , and publishes several novels. In the test Geneva or Moscow , in 1928, it takes pro-European positions, which lead it to approach certain employers' mediums successively, in particular the organization of the French Redressement directed by Ernest Mercier, then certain currents of the Radical party (in particular the “Jeunes Turks”), at the end of the years 1920 and at the beginning of the Années 1930. Republican, layman, anticlerical, and individualist, it is also a libertine who multiplies the female conquests, but divorce quickly with each one of his two marriages. Its money match in 1917 with Colette Jéramec, whom he did not appreciate then already more, ends in 1925, and its second union with a Polonaise, Olesia Sienkiewicz, hardly lasts longer.

There in the weeks which follow the manifestations of February 6th, 1934, he collaborates in the review the Fight of the young people and declares at the same time “socialist” and “fascistic”, seeing a solution with his own contradictions and a remedy so that he regards as the “decline materialist of the modern societies”. In October, it publishes the fascistic test Socialisme , and is placed in the line of the first French socialism, that of Saint-Simon, Proudhon and Charles Fourier. This intellectual choice the conduit to adhere in 1936 to the French Popular party, founded by Jacques Doriot, and with becoming, until its rupture with the PF at the beginning of 1939, leader-writer of the publication of the movement national Emancipation . In parallel, it writes its most known novel, Gilles .

Under the Occupation, he becomes director of the New French Review (NRF) and takes party for a policy of Collaboration with Germany, which he hopes to see taking the head of a kind of International fascist. Starting from 1943, returned of its illusions, which it exposes in its Romance last but one, the Dogs of straw , where it is represented under the features of a former anarchist named Constant, its concerns turns to the history of the Religions - in particular Eastern spiritualities - while, in an ultimate gesture of provocation, it adheres again to the PF, while declaring, in his secret newspaper, its admiration for the Stalinisme.

With the Libération, he refuses the exile as well as the hiding-places that some of his/her friends - of which André Malraux - propose to him. After two missed attempts, it gives itself death the March 15th 1945.
