The brothers of Adela, Elias, Moses and Wilhelm, were renowned scholars. Elias Schwarzfeld wrote a History of the Jews of Romania ^{[ 2 ]} .

Career [ modifier | Modifier and code ]

He published poetry from an early age and took, around 1913, the name of Plume B. Fundoianu, of the Romanian toponym Background . In 1918, he was the author of the drama Peter’s denial ( Stone denial ), short play published by Chemarea editions. After the end of his secondary studies in Iași, he left for Bucharest and became the center of a avant-garde group which includes Marcel Janco, Max Hermann Maxy, Iosif Ross, Sașa Pană, Ion Vinea, ștefan Roll and Ilarie Voronca . He published in important periodicals, still under the name of B. Fundoianu, and briefly founded in 1921-1922 a theatrical troop, The island ( The island ), influenced by the conceptions of Jacques Copeau.

He arrived in Paris in 1923 where he became Benjamin Fondane, adding French culture to his Romanian and Hebrew roots. It was in Paris that he wrote his first work in French, French exercise , published in 1925. He met Tristan Tzara, whom he interviews; He himself adheres to the surrealist movement, as well as to the subgroup of Arthur Adamov, and publishes new poems such To Madame Sonia Delaunay , part of an unfinished project entitled Ulysses 1927 .

In 1924, he met in Jules de Gaultier the Russian philosopher Léon Chestov, who will be the most decisive meeting of his life: the two men bind from a strong friendship, and Chestov became the fundamental master in philosophy. Fondane then writes, especially in Southern notebooks , on Martin Heidegger, Edmund Husserl, Friedrich Nietzsche, Søren Kierkegaard, Sigmund Freud, Stéphane Lupasco… while helping to make Chestov’s thought in France known. In 1939, he entrusted Victoria Ocampo with a copy of his manuscript Meetings with Léon Chestov , which will only be published well after his death.

In 1933, he worked with Dimitri Kirsanoff to an experimental film entitled Rapt , free adaptation of Charles Ferdinand Ramuz’s novel Separation of breeds . In 1936, he wrote and directed the film Apostal in Argentina. On the return boat, he became friends with the neo-Thomist Catholic Jacques Maritain.

During the 1930s, Fondane was at the heart of French intellectual life. For this ardent polemist, thought was defined as a struggle, as for Chestov, which held that philosophy is not a knowledge but a fierce to death for freedom. It was in this spirit that Fondane aroused a debate in 1936 on the interpretation of Kierkegaard in France. He particularly aimed Denis de Rougemont, Rachel Bespaloff and Jean Wahl.

In 1938, on the death of Chestov, Fondane was known to be his disciple and was recognized as a philosopher.

In 1940, Fondane was engaged during the Nazi invasion in France. Considering prisoner, he escapes, is resumed and he is hospitalized in Val-de-Grâce for an appendectomy. After returning to his home, he works on his project Ulysses and at various tests.

In March 1944, he was arrested by the Vichy police. His friends manage to obtain his release but Benjamin Fondane decides not to abandon his sister Line. He was sent to the Drancy camp, then deported to Auschwitz by convoy 75 of May 30 from Bobigny station ^{[ 3 ]} .

The work of Benjamin Fondane is marked by the multiplicity of forms of expression: poetry (his poetic works are gathered under the general title: Ghost evil , Verdier Poche, 2006), theater ( The Balthazar feast , Philochette ), philosophy (in particular Unhappy conscience , 1936; Rééd. Verdier, 2013), film critic ( Writings for cinema , Verdier Poche, 2007), cinematographic realization ( Apostal , 1936), essays of aesthetics and poetics ( False aesthetics treaty , 1938, reed. Paris Méditerranée, 1998), essays on literature ( Charles Baudelaire and the experience of the abyss , 1947; Rééd. Complex, 1994).

Formidable polemicist, especially in his Chronicles of living philosophy , which he publishes with South Notebooks Throughout the thirties, Fondane defined his positions in an agonistic space for struggle and oppositions (against Hegel, Heidegger, Jean Wahl, Edmund Husserl, Paul Valéry, André Breton…).

He publishes in many small journals that ensure the effective dissemination of his positions against Breton’s surrealism, against the poetics of Paul Valéry, against the autobiographical discourse of André Gide, against Hegelianism or Husserlian Phenomenology. This transdisciplinary versatility actually covers remarkable philosophical coherence of the work. He wrote the first part of his poetic and critical work, already considerable, in Romanian, then adopted the French from 1924 after his arrival in Paris.

If her Romanian poetry quickly stands out from the symbolist influences of her youth to evolve towards a more expressionist style, she was marked by the crossing of the avant-garde, at the borders of Dadaism and surrealism, before turning into an existential poetry, loaded to attest with force the wandering of the poet in the perpetual flow of a shipwrecked world, united with Jewish emigrants. Revolt or unusualness is at the heart of this work, marked by the obsession with the disaster of a civilization capable of transforming individuals into ghosts of history.

Fondane’s work, strongly imbued with the philosophy of Leon Chestov’s tragedy, always expresses a revolt against human “finitude” and a vehement certificate of individual existence, threatened by finitude, exile, contempt, Abstract and derealizing rationalism, the violence of history. His fight against a certain destructive rationalism, his refusal of any ideological, moral, political alienation of poetry, his cry in favor of an absent God claimed before disaster, make his work particularly significant for the contemporary reader.

On June 21, 1968, Claude Sernet’s wife and daughter donated the Jacques Doucet literary library of manuscripts and works by Benjamin Fondane who were in their possession.

A day will undoubtedly come when the poem read

will be before your eyes. He does not ask

Nothing! Forget it, forget it! It’s not

that a cry, which cannot be put in a poem

Perfect, did I have time to finish it?

But when you take off this bouquet of nettles

who had been me, in another century,

in a story that will be expired to you,

just remember that I was innocent

and that, just like you, deadly of that day,

I too had a marked face

by anger, by pity and joy,

Simply a man’s face!

(1942)
