Meer over het boek

The book provides a comprehensive analysis of Malraux's diverse body of work, from his journalism in Indochina to his novels and essays. It challenges the conventional dual image of Malraux as a leftist revolutionary and later a staunch anti-Communist, presenting him instead as a non-ideological, elitist artist. The author explores how Malraux crafted his public persona and influenced both his fictional characters and real-life figures, offering a nuanced understanding of his artistic legacy and complex identity.
