Renaud Camus
Jean Renaud Gabriel Camus (/kæˈmuː/; French: [ʁəno kamy]; born 10 August 1946) is a French writer and novelist. He is known for the theory of the "Great Replacement", a conspiracy theory that claims a global elite is colluding against the white population of Europe to replace them with non-European peoples.
Hilaire Belloc
Joseph Hilaire Pierre René Belloc was an Anglo-French writer and historian who became a naturalised British subject in 1902. He was one of the most prolific writers in England during the early twentieth century. He was known as a writer, orator, poet, satirist, man of letters, and political activist. He is most notable for his Catholic faith, which had a strong impact on most of his works and his writing collaboration with G.K. Chesterton.
He was President of the Oxford Union and later MP for Salford from 1906 to 1910. He was a noted disputant, with a number of long-running feuds, but also widely regarded as a humane and sympathetic man.
Michel Houellebecq
Michel Houellebecq (b. 1956 in Saint-Pierre, Réunion) is a French author and filmmaker.
After his first book on Lovecraft, entitled H. P. Lovecraft : Contre le monde, contre la vie / "H. P. Lovecraft: Against the World, Against Life" (Éditions du Rocher, 1991) and his first novel, Extension du domaine de la lute / "Whatever" (Éditions Maurice Nadeau, 1994), he shot to fame with Les Particules élémentaires / "Atomised" (Flammarion 1998): "A novel which hunts big game while others settle for shooting rabbits", as Julian Barnes writes in his blurb, it won the 1998 Prix Novembre.
Pierre Berthoud
Professor Pierre Berthoud taught biblical languages at the Free Evangelical Seminary of Vaux-sur-Seine (1969-1971). From 1971 to 1975, he worked with Dr. Francis A. Schaeffer, head of the study centre, l’Abri Fellowship in Huémoz (Switzerland). He participated in the French translation of several of F. Schaeffer’s books.
Jacques Maritain
Jacques Maritain was born in 1882 to a French Protestant family. A year later, Raïssa Oumansouff was born into a Jewish family in Russia. The two met in Paris as university students where both were chiefly interested in science and philosophy. Raïssa and Jacques married in 1904. Their love for each other did not prevent them from making a pact to commit suicide if they had not, within a year, discovered the meaning of life and existence. The lectures of Henri Bergson, but more importantly the influence of Léon Bloy, helped them find the answers they sought. They were converted to Roman Catholicism, entering the Church with Raïssa's sister Vera, in 1906.
