MAURICE CLAVEL
WRITING
Maurice Clavel (1920-1979) was a French writer, journalist, and philosopher.
Maurice Clavel was born on 10 November 1920 in Frontignan, Hérault to a family headed by a father who was a pharmacist.
This conservative milieu of small shopkeepers in Languedoc led him to be an activist in the French Popular Party (FPP) in his hometown of Frontignan.
A brilliant pupil, he got into the prestigious École Normale Supérieure in the Rue d'Ulm in Paris.
