Thierry Sandre, born Charles Moulié on May 9, 1891 in Bayonne, was a French writer, poet and essayist who died in 1950. He won the 1924 Prix Goncourt for Le Chèvrefeuille. A specialist in 16th‑century French literature, he also wrote under the pen name Jean Dumoulin and translated or adapted Greek, Latin and Arabic works. Before World War I he was secretary to Pierre Louÿs. He spent much of the war as a prisoner in Germany. In 1919 he helped found the Association of War Writers. From 1921 he helped publish a five‑volume anthology of dead war writers. In 1936 he joined the Dominican order in Paris. He returned to service in 1940, was captured again and released in 1941. In the 1940s he supported the Ordre Nouveau, and because of two books published in 1942 and 1943 he was banned after the war. He later rehabilitated and published more books.
