 Focusing on Paul Claudel, an Invisible Giant - Catholic Online

As French poet and professor Valerio Magrelli wrote in Il Corriere della Sera on February 16, Claudel is a sort of "inextricable knot." The man of the theater and diplomat, the conservative and follower of Rimbaud, the intolerant Catholic and lover of Oriental cultures, the philosopher and friend-enemy of [André] Gide.
Claudel certainly represents in an effective way a whole great period of 20th-century French culture which not only reached the highest levels but which today seems somewhat antiquated, archaeological.
