| Publisher Description: Moving beyond merely biographical or textual interpretation, Claude Tannery traces the philosophy of life and art developed by Andr Malraux. With both sensitivity and expert interpretation he defines the issues--personal and artistic as well as political--that underlie Malraux's writings--including early as well as late works, novels, speeches, and essays. The result is a new and subtle portrait of Malraux. |
