He was a French novelist, art historian and statesman. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAt the age of 21, while on an archaeological expedition in Cambodia, he was imprisoned for taking bas-reliefs from a Khmer temple. Mistreatment by the French colonial authorities turned him into a fervent anti-colonialist and an advocate of social change. He was one of France’s leading anti-Fascists.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAndre Malraux wrote several brilliant and powerful novels, including The Conquerors and The Royal Way. Malraux’s novels, like his life, are filled with adventures and political involvement, combined with a brooding pessimism about the destiny of Western man. Man’s Fate (known in U K as Man’s Estate) is considered his masterpiece.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAfter 1945 Malraux virtually abandoned novel writing for art history and criticism. His major work for this period was The Voices of Silence, in which he argues that art-and not any social or moral system-is humanity’s only permanent expression of the will to triumph over fate. Francois Mauriac, a contemporary, called Malraux, the greatest living French writer and certainly the oddest. He remains one of the most prominent European men of letters.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eContents\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Walnut-Trees of Altenburg\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAntimemoiors\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Temptation of the West\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Royal Way\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Human Condition\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The India Club","offers":[{"title":"Andre Malraux \/ Rupa \/ Paperback","offer_id":68153722634608,"sku":"7927","price":28.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1041\/5203\/9792\/files\/7927.jpg?v=1793913114","url":"https:\/\/marketcalvexa.shop\/products\/antimemoirs","provider":"Alderstone House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
