Charles Maurras
Bure, Emile | May 22, 1943 issue

add to cart   close window

The article presents information about Charles Maurras, the publisher of "l'Action Francaise," who is perhaps the best known among the newspapermen who contributed to the victory of Adolf Hitler and Benito Mussolini in France. Unchallenged by the French Republic, Maurras committed treason with such boldness that his example lent courage to other journalists who took their orders -- and their pay -- from Berlin, Rome, and later Madrid. His power is partly to be explained by the richness of his vocabulary, which dazzles the illiterate and; even more, the semi-literate. Only educated men who are not blinded by political fanaticism see how shoddy is the intellectual merchandise his vocabulary sells.
