If we are to believe the list of titles printed in Malraux's latest book, La Metamorphose Des Dieux, Vol. 1 ( ( 1957 ), he is still engaged in writing a large novel under his original title.

Even in its present form, however, the first part of Malraux's unrecoverable novel is among the greatest works of mid-twentieth century literature ; ;

Kenneth Rexroth mentions Borodin in his poem Another Early Morning Exercise, and he is one of main characters in Les Conquérants, André Malraux's his first novel ( published in 1928 ).

Steven Ungar compares Nausea with French novels of different periods, such as Madame de La Fayette's La Princesse de Clèves ( 1678 ), Honoré de Balzac's Le Père Goriot ( 1835 ), André Malraux's La Condition humaine ( 1933 ), and Annie Ernaux's Une femme ( 1988 ), all of which have scenes with men and women faced with choices and " provide literary expressions to concerns with personal identity that vary over time more in detail than in essence.

The theme of The Walnut Trees Of Altenburg is most closely related to its immediate predecessor in Malraux's array of novels: Man's Hope ( 1937 ).

Nowhere before in Malraux's pages have we met such impassioned defenders of a `` quality of man '' which transcends the realm of politics and even the realm of action altogether -- both the action of Malraux's early anarchist-adventurers like Perken and Garine, and the self-sacrificing action of dedicated Communists like Kyo Gisors and Katow in Man's Fate.

Andre Malraux's The Walnut Trees Of Altenburg was written in the early years of the second World War, during a period of enforced leisure when he was taken prisoner by the Germans after the fall of France.

and this first section was somehow preserved ( there are always these annoying little mysteries about the actual facts of Malraux's life ) when the Gestapo destroyed the rest.

It is this larger theme of the `` quality of man '', a quality that transcends the ideological and flows into `` the human '', which now forms the pulsating heart of Malraux's artistic universe.

There are suggestions that Malraux's paternal grandfather committed suicide in 1909.

Either way, most critics have not seen this as a significant factor in Malraux's life or literary works.

His experiences and observations while in Indochina led to Malraux's becoming highly critical of the French colonial authorities.

However, other biographical sources, including fellow combatants, express very different views, praising Malraux's leadership and sense of camaraderie.

Here as elsewhere, Malraux's participation in major historical events inevitably brought him determined adversaries as well as strong supporters, and the resulting polarization of opinion has colored, and rendered questionable, much that has been written about his life.

Beevor's reference to " claims of martial heroism " is also dubious since although Malraux's books sometimes describe military action, he never presents his own role as especially heroic.

French writer André Brincourt commented that Malraux's books on art have been " skimmed a lot but very little read ", and it is true that critical commentary has often given superficial and distorted accounts of their arguments.

There is now a large and steadily growing body of critical commentary on Malraux's literary œuvre, including his very extensive writings on art.

Malraux's artistic tastes included the modern arts and the avant-garde, but on the whole he remained conservative.

Malraux's novels of Spain and China during the civil wars confront individual action with historical forces.

The work as it stands is not the entire book that Malraux wrote at that time -- it is only the first section of a three-part novel called La Lutte avec l'Ange ; ;
