A Portrait of André Malraux

André Malraux, Robert Payne

description

"...This is a portrait of a bold, superbly gifted and strangely humbled man, who wrote about art and life with feverish intensity and threw himself recklessly into all the important battles of our time, holding nothing back. He said once, 'I have a fidelity - and it is dynamite.' His fidelity was to the land of France, and to the world's art, and to the oppressed. He was one of those who lived close to the burning heart of things, and was no afraid. He spoke once of 'my useless and bloody life,' but future historians will see in him a man who represented in his own person the violence, the dreams, the torments and the nobility of our tragic age." -- from dust jacket. Includes index, chronology, and bibliography. Printed in black-and-white.
