Paul Bourget

    Paul Bourget war ein französischer Romanautor und Essayist, der sich vom Naturalismus abwandte und den experimentellen analytischen Roman vorantrieb. Seine frühen Werke, reich an feinen Studien von Sitten und Charakteren, fanden Anklang beim Pariser Salonpublikum auf der Suche nach einem Traum von Modernität. Später wandte sich Bourget dem „Ideenroman“ zu, in dem er die psychologischen und moralischen Ursachen individueller und gesellschaftlicher Probleme untersuchte. Sein Werk, beeinflusst von seiner Konversion zum Katholizismus, versuchte, Glauben und Wissenschaft zu synthetisieren und thematisierte die sozialen, politischen und religiösen Fragen seiner Zeit.
