Lawyer, law professor, novelist, journalist, historian, essayist and travelogue author, René Bazin was a pioneer in his time.
He senses the limits and the negative side of the emerging industrial civilization.
It highlights the beauty of nature and promotes respect for the environment.
Close to the social Catholics of the time, he addresses social issues in his work by encouraging people to put humane working conditions into practice. Work in the service of man and not the other way around.
Unlike the current exalting having, it demonstrates the importance of being.
René Bazin desires a just, balanced social order, neither collectivist nor liberal.
