内容説明

Andre Malraux was pre-eminent among his contemporaries in his passionate espousal of left-wing causes, and was the French writer who enjoyed the highest reputation during the 1930s for his attempts to reconcile the imperatives of literary creation with those of political action. However, of the many studies devoted to Malraux, few have analyzed the politics depicted in his fiction in relation to the politics he proclaimed, in an effort to establish the extent to which they informed or subverted each other. This study juxtaposes the inconsistencies in Malraux's personal convictions with the contradictions inherent in his novels of revoltion, and in so doing addresses the broad issues of political action and moral choice, and the susceptibility of politics to mythication. This book marks a development in the interdisciplinary study of the inter-war years in Europe.
