AUTHOR
SUMMARY
"One of the key texts of Malraux's work . . . [its] pages must be counted among the most haunting in all of twentieth century literature."--Victor Brombert "The description of the gas attack on the Russian front in 1915 will never be forgotten by anyone who has read it. . . . [Malraux] writes with the precision, the certitude and the authority of an obsessed person who knows that he has found the essence of what he has been looking for."--Conor Cruise O'Brien, from the Foreword Malraux's greatest novel, Man's Fate, gave a grim, lurid picture of human suffering. [The Walnut Trees of Altenburg], written by a life-long observer of violent upheaval and within the shadows of World War II, gives a calm, thoughtful vision of humanistic endeavor that can transcend the absurdity of existence. Mature readers will find this a rewarding visit to one of the most accomplished writers of our time."--ChoiceMalraux, Andre is the author of 'Walnut Trees of Altenburg', published 1992 under ISBN 9780226502892 and ISBN 0226502899.
