Maurice Magre

    2. März 1877 – 11. Dezember 1941

    Maurice Magre war ein französischer Dichter, Schriftsteller und Dramatiker, ein glühender Verfechter des Okzitanientums, der maßgeblich zur Bekanntmachung des Märtyrertums der Katharer im 13. Jahrhundert beitrug. In seinen historischen Romanen über den Katharismus steht Magre besonders in der Tradition des Historikers Napoleon Peyrat, indem der Autor oft Legenden und romantische Epen der historischen Wahrheit vorzieht. Trotz einer schillernden Vergangenheit, die von Bohème und Opiumabhängigkeit geprägt war, erlangte er Anerkennung als bedeutender Schriftsteller. Seine spätere Lebensphase widmete er esoterischen und spirituellen Forschungen, die sich in seinem umfangreichen Werk widerspiegeln.
