Everything about Abel Bonnard totally explained
Abel Bonnard (
December 19,
1883 –
May 31,
1968) was a French poet, novelist and politician. Born in
Poitiers, his early education was in
Marseilles with secondary studies at the Lycée Louis-le-Grand in Paris. A student of literature, he was a graduate of the
École du Louvre and a member of the
École française de Rome.
Politically, a follower of
Charles Maurras, his views evolved towards
fascism in the 1930s. Bonnard was one of the ministers of National Education under the
Vichy regime (1942-44). He was nicknamed by
Pétain "la Gestapette" by French nationalists, a portmanteau of
Gestapo and
tapette, the latter French slang for a
homosexual.
A member of the
Académie française, Bonnard was one of four members expelled from the institution after
World War II for collaboration with Germany. He was condemned
in absentia to death during the
épuration légale period for his wartime activities. However,
Franco granted him
political asylum in
Spain. In 1960, he returned to France to face retrial for his crimes. He received a symbolic sentence of 10 years banishment to be counted from 1945, but dissatisfied with the verdict of guilty, he chose to return to Spain where he lived out the remainder of his life.
