Edmond Jabès (Cairo, April 16, 1912 – Paris, January 2, 1991) was a Jewish writer and poet, and one of the best known literary figures to write in French after World War II.
The son of a Jewish family, he was brought up in Egypt, where he received a classical French education. He began publishing in French at an early age, and was made a Knight of the Legion of Honor in 1952 for his literary accomplishments.
When Egypt expelled its Jewish population (Suez Crisis), Jabès fled to Paris in 1956, which he had first visited in the 1930s. There he rekindled friendships with the surrealists although he was never formally a member of that group. He became a French citizen in 1967, the same year that he received the honor of being one of four French writers (alongside Sartre, Camus, and Lévi-Strauss) to present his works at the World Exposition in Montreal. Further accolades followed—the Prix des Critiques in 1972 and a commission as an officer in the Legion of Honor in 1986. In 1987, he received France’s Grand National Prize for Poetry (Grand Prix national de la poésie). Jabès’s cremation ceremony took place a few days after his death – at age 78 – at Père Lachaise Cemetery.
Jabès is best remembered for his books of poetry, often published in multi-volume cycles, at least fourteen volumes translated by Rosmarie Waldrop – Jabès’s primary English translator. They often featured references to Jewish mysticism and kabbalah. (Wikipedia)
