Roger Caillois
Roger Caillois (; 3 March 1913 – 21 December 1978) was a French
intellectual and prolific writer whose original work brought together
literary criticism,
sociology,
poetry,
ludology and
philosophy by focusing on very diverse subjects such as
games,
surrealism, south-American literature, the mineral world, dreams and images,
ethnology, the history of religions and the
sacred. He was also instrumental in introducing Latin American authors such as
Jorge Luis Borges,
Pablo Neruda and
Miguel Ángel Asturias to the French public. After his death, the French Literary award
Prix Roger Caillois was named after him in 1991.
