Résumé / Abstract : Hugues rebell, ecrivain nantais aujourd'hui totalement meconnu, consacra toute sa vie a servir la litterature. Aristocrate et esthete a la fois, il combattit, d'une facon parfois trop virulente pour qu'elle puisse etre credible, tout ce qu'il haissait tant, le peuple, la "democratie ecrivassiere", la republique, le christianisme, la mediocrite. Ses prises de position tres affirmees, sa fougue, son emportement, son attitude meprisante egalement ne lui ont pas permis, sans doute, d'echapper au temps. Et pourtant, tres sensible a la philosophie de sade ainsi qu'aux idees elitistes de nietzsche, et surtout fascine par la vie et l'oeuvre de stendhal, il revela, dans la plupart de ses ouvrages, des qualites stylistiques indeniables, qui ont conduit l'un de ses pairs a le juger comme "le premier des conteurs de son temps". Il influenca charles maurras pour ses idees politiques et "faconna" la pensee du jeune rene boylesve. Seuls quelques-uns ont de nos jours une image bien "floue" -quand elle n'est pas inexacte - de l'homme qu'il a ete, le decrivant volontiers comme un conteur licencieux parce qu'a la fin de sa vie il ecrivit, pour survivre, des ouvrages de flagellation. Ceux qui le jugent ainsi ne le connaissent pas. Il con- vient de redecouvrir rebell a travers son oeuvre pour lui accorder la rehabilitation qu'il merite amplement
Résumé / Abstract : Hugues rebell, a writer from nantes who is totally unrecognised today, spent his whole life serving literature. Both an aristocrat and an aesthete, he fought, too violently sometimes to be credible, everything he hated so much : the people, the "hack writers democracy", the republic, christianity an d mediocrity. His asserted statements, his ardor, his anger, his scornful attitude too undoubtedly didn't enable him to escape time. However, though he appreciates sade's philosophy as well as nietzsche's elitist ideas and above all though he was fascinated by the life and works of stendhal, he showed in most of what he wrote undeniable stylistic qualities which prompted one of his peers to believe "he was the most important storyteller of his time". He influenced charles maurras in his political ideas and "shaped" young rene boylesve's thinking. Today, very few people have a vague notion - when it is not uncorrect - of the man he was and readily describe him as a licen- cious storyteller because at the end of his life he wrote books about flogging to survive. Those who judge him this way do not know him. It is advisable to rediscover rebell through his work to grant him the rehabilitation he greatly deserves
