French philosopher and former elected official in the National Assembly for the French Communist Party.
Garaudy is controversial for his anti-zionist views. He converted to Islam in 1982.
Born to Catholic and Jewish atheist parents in Marseille, Garaudy converted at age 14 and became a Protestant. During World War II, Garaudy joined the French Resistance, for which he was imprisoned in Djelfa, Algeria, as a prisoner of war of Vichy France. Following the war, Garaudy joined the French Communist Party. As a political candidate he succeeded in being elected to the National Assembly and eventually rose to the position of deputy speaker, and later senator.
Garaudy lectured in the faculty of arts department of the University Clermont-Ferrand from 1962-1965. Due to controversies between Garaudy and Michel Foucault, Garaudy left. He later taught in Poitiers from 1969-1972.
Garaudy remained a Christian and eventually re-converted to Catholicism during his political career. He was befriended by one of France's most prominent clerics of the time, the Abbé Pierre, who in later years supported Garaudy, even regarding the latter's most controversial views.
In 1970, Garaudy was expelled from the Communist Party following his outspoken criticism of the 1968 Soviet invasion of Czechoslovakia.
Garaudy converted to Islam in 1982 after marrying a Palestinian woman, later writing that "The Christ of Paul is not the Jesus of the Bible," and also forming other critical scholarly conclusions regarding the Old and New Testaments. As a Muslim he adopted the name "Ragaa" and became a prominent Islamic commentator and supporter of the Palestinian cause. He was married to Salma Taji Farouki.
Garaudy wrote more than 50 books, mainly on political philosophy and Marxism.

No soy quien para reseñar este libro. Solo puedo decir que ha sido un descubrimiento bárbaro. Todo lo que aquí se plasma es impensablemente increíble, sobre todo cuando conoces un poco sobre el autor y es que toda su vida grita que el ser humano es una obra continua, posiblemente inacabable e inagotable, también contradictoria y por eso mismo inclasificable, como me parece y me aventuro a decir que muy posiblemente fue toda su obra literaria.
Me entristece saber, pero entiendo porque sus libros son muy pocos los traducidos al español y los pocos que hay son seguramente muy difíciles de encontrar.
Relacionado a esta lectura, hay cosas con las que no concuerdo, pero en su gran mayoría este libro me parece impresionantemente lucido y que los temas que toca son más actuales que nunca.
