ANDRÉ MALRAUX (1901-1976) was a French novelist, art historian, and statesman who became an active supporter of Gen. Charles de Gaulle and, after de Gaulle was elected president in 1958, served for 10 years as France’s minister of cultural affairs.

Malraux led a dramatic and absorbing life, coming to personify the ideal of l'homme engagé, the intellectual who is also a man of action.  He spent the greater part of the years 1923-27 in Indochina and China, devoting himself first to archaeological research and later working for the Kuomintang before the break with the Communists.  After returning to France, Malraux wrote several brilliant and powerful novels dealing with the tragic ambiguities of political idealism and revolutionary struggle.  His first important novel, THE CONQUERORS (1928), is a tense and vivid description of a revolutionary strike in Guangzhou (Canton), China.  THE ROYAL WAY (1930) is a thriller set among the Khmer temples of Cambodia that Malraux himself explored.

His masterpiece, MAN'S FATE [La condition humaine] (1933), a novel about the failed 1927 Communist rebellion in Shanghai, won the Prix Goncourt and established his reputation as a leading French novelist and charismatic, politically committed intellectual.  Upon the outbreak of the Spanish Civil War, Malraux went to Spain, joined the Republican forces, and organized for them an international air squadron, becoming its colonel.  From that experience, Malraux constructed his most pessimistic political novel, DAYS OF HOPE [also translated as Man's Hope] (1937), which dramatically re-creates the first nine months of the civil war.

After 1945 Malraux virtually abandoned the writing of novels and turned instead to the history and criticism of art.  THE VOICES OF SILENCE (1951) is a brilliant and well-documented synthesis of the history of art in all countries and through all ages.  The work is also a philosophical meditation on art as a supreme expression of human creativity and as one that enables man to transcend the meaningless absurdity and insignificance of his own condition.  Malraux continued to explore this approach in THE METAMORPHOSIS OF THE GODS (1957-76).  He published his autobiography, ANTI-MEMOIRS, in 1967.  A later volume in the series, LAZARUS (1974), is a reflection on death occasioned by his experiences during a serious illness.
