Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: CHR-CLI
CLADEL, LEON (1835-1892) , French novelist, was born at
Montauban
  (Tarn-et-
Garonne
 ) on the 13th of March 1835. The son of an artisan, he studied law at Toulouse and became a solicitor's clerk in Paris. He made a reputation in a limited circle by his first book, Les Martyrs ridicules (1862), a novel for which Charles Baudelaire, whose literary disciple Cladel was, wrote a
preface
 . He then returned to his native
district
  of Quercy, where he produced a
series
  of pictures of peasant life in Eral le dompteur (1865), Le Nomme Qouael (1868) and other volumes. Returning to Paris he published the two novels which are generally acknowledged as his best
work
 , Le Bouscassie (1869) and La Fete votive de Saint Bartholomee Porte-glaive (1872). Une Maudite (1876) was judged dangerous to the public morals and cost its author a month's imprisonment. Other works by Cladel are Les Va-nu-pieds (1873), a volume of short stories; N'a qu'un ceil (1882), Urbains et ruraux (1884), Gueux de marque (1887), and the posthumous Juive errante (1897). He died at Sevres on the 20th of July 1892.
See La Vie de Leon Cladel (Paris, 1905), by his daughter Judith Cladel, containing also an article on Cladel by Edmond Picard, a complete
list
  of his works, and of the
critical
  articles on his
work
 .
