Born in a village of eastern Algeria to a very poor family, fatherless at one year old, lifted out of poverty by a schoolmaster and then by a scholarship, he was a journalist in Algiers and then in Paris and an editor of the clandestine paper Combat under the Occupation. He died at forty-six in a car crash on the road from Sens to Paris. (Editorial synthesis)
