Paul Claudel (1868–1955) was a playwright whose works include Partage de midi (Break of Noon), L’Annonce faite à Marie (The Tidings Brought to Mary), and Le Soulier de satin (The Satin Slipper) (which was translated into German by Hans Urs von Balthasar). Influenced greatly by the major French Symbolist poets—Baudelaire, Mallarmé, Verlaine, and, especially, Rimbaud, whose poetry he said played a determining role in his conversion and return to the Catholic faith in 1886—Claudel was also the author of several books of poetry, the most famous of which are Cinq grandes odes (Five Great Odes) and Connaissance de l’Est (Knowing the East). He was a French diplomat for forty-six years, stationed in Asia, Europe, and the Americas, and eventually served as the French Ambassador in several countries, including the United States (1928–33). He was elected to the Académie française in 1946. During the last twenty years of his life, he particularly devoted himself to writing about the Bible, producing thousands of pages of fascinating reflection on Sacred Scripture. [End Page 187]
