Régis Messac (1893–1945) was a French essayist, poet, translator and Résistance fighter. Died in early 1945, prisoner of Nazi Germany.

Formidable précurseur, Régis Messac, né en 1893, fils d’instituteur, qui deviendra enseignant, il est le premier Français à s’être intéressé de près au « roman de détection » — appellation d’époque du polar — , en le portant sur les bancs de l’université avec une thèse qui fait date, « Le »Detective novel« et l’influence de la pensée scientifique », rédigée à son retour d’un long séjour en Amérique du Nord. Auteur prolifique sur une courte période, habile à manier l’anticipation et la chronique sociale, il s’était très tôt rebellé contre un système (on lui doit un pamphlet À bas le latin !) qui le marginalise ...more

Quotes by Régis Messac (?)

“E dopo arriverà la pioggia. La vedo, la sento cadere dall'autunno e tramutare tutto in fango. E il fango ridiventerà polvere, e la polvere fango, durante gli inverni, durante le estati. E poi forse l'oceano verrà a sua volta a seppellire questo cadavere, ad avvolgerlo con il sudario dei suoi sedimenti. E il mare capriccioso si ritirerà, lasciando il sole e i venti a setacciare di nuovo queste ceneri, dune infeconde chiamate a disperdersi, a scomparire. Allora, sul suolo uniforme, il sole immobile illuminerà la sabbia solitaria e rovente. Niente più, nessuna traccia. In questo luogo è tuttavia fiorita una città, e il vasto deserto sembra ancora più vasto.”
― Régis Messac, Quinzinzinzili

“La stupidità umana è sempre la stessa. Non è stata forse la suprema stupidità dei grandi personaggi del mondo antico a portare alla catastrofe che ha prodotto il mondo nuovo?”
― Régis Messac, Quinzinzinzili

“Non sarebbe meglio che un ultimo colpo di coda della catastrofe ci inghiottisse tutti, invece di infliggere alla civiltà umana questa sopravvivenza beffarda?”
― Régis Messac, Quinzinzinzili
