Lawyer, law professor, novelist, journalist, historian, essayist and travel writer, René Bazin was a pioneer in his time.
He senses the limitations and negative aspects of the nascent industrial civilization.
It highlights the beauty of nature and promotes respect for the environment.
Close to the social Catholics of his time, he addressed social issues in his work, encouraging the implementation of humane working conditions. Work in service of humanity, not the other way around.
Contrary to the current trend that exalts having, it demonstrates the importance of being.
René Bazin desired a just, balanced social order, neither collectivist nor liberal.
