About the author
Maurice Magre
88 books10 followers Maurice Magre (March 2nd 1877 with Toulouse - December 11th 1941 in Nice) was a French poet, writer and playwright. He was a fervent defender of Occitanie, and largely contributed to make known the martyrdom of the Cathars of the thirteenth century. With regard to his historical novels on Catharism, Maurice Magre fits especially in the line of the historian Napoleon Peyrat, in the direction where the author often prefers the legends and the romantic peppered with historical truth.
He composed his first poems at the age of 14 years. His first collections of poems were published in 1895. From 1898, he published four successive collections of poems in Paris.
During the first part of his life, he lived a bohemian life of vice and even became an opium addict. In spite of a sulfurous reputation, he became however a famous and appreciated author. At the time of the publication of one of his books in 1924, Barber wrote: “Magre is an anarchist, an individualist, a sadist, an opium addict. He has all the defects, he is a very great writer. His work should be read. ”
In the second part of his life, he was interested in esotericism and carried out a spiritual search, but did not cease publishing many works.
In 1919, he discovered the Secret Doctrines , the major work of Mrs. Blavatsky, the Co-founder of the Theosophic Society.
In 1935, although he was sick, he undertook a voyage towards the Indies in order to meet Sri Aurobindo in his Ashram de Pondichéry.
He founded on July 26th, 1937, with Francis Rolt-Wheeler, the “Company of the Friends of Montségur and the Holy Grail”.
