Paul Claudel was a French poet, playwright, and diplomat. He is considered one of the greatest French poets of the 20th century. His poetic work is marked by a deep lyricism and strong spirituality, influenced by his conversion to Catholicism. His plays, on the other hand, explore themes such as sin, redemption, and faith, with a grandiose and symbolic style.
