This story begins on a battlefield. The writer and poet Charles Péguy died on September 5, 1914, during the first battle of Ourcq. This tragic end well represents the life of this poet: a life made of sacrifices and commitments, the coherence of which is not easy to understand at first glance.
Over time, the writer was in fact a socialist, a great admirer of Jaurès but also a libertarian, passionate about Joan of Arc, and author of magnificent poems on the Christian faith.
In this five-episode podcast series from Moment Poésie, we invite you to discover the key moments in the life of Charles Péguy. At the end of the cycle, two major interviews with two personalities from the world of education and the arts complete the story, to give you an idea of the richness of its heritage.
