Chez Malraux, les mains des personnages semblent un peu disproportionnées par rapport au reste du corps, quasi indépendantes, douées d’une vie propre. D’où leur caractère inquiétant. Or tout est contenu là : vie et mort, enfance, sexualité, biographie, un certain mode de relation à l’œuvre d’art, et même la fraternité, dans le geste de toucher l’autre.

Andre Malraux was a major figure in French intellectual life in the twentieth century. A key component of his thought is his theory of art which presents a series of fundamental challenges to traditional explanations of the nature and purpose of art developed by post-Enlightenment aesthetics. For Malraux. art whether visual art. literature or music-is much more than a locus of beauty or a source of "aesthetic pleasure": it is one of the ways humanity defends itself against its fundamental sense of meaninglessness-one of the ways the "human adventure" is affirmed. Here for the first time is a comprehensive. step by step exposition. supported by illustrations. of Malraux's theory of art as presented in major works such as The Voices of Silence and The Metamorphosis of the Gods. Suitable for both newcomers to Malraux and more advanced students. the study also examines critical responses to these works by figures such as Maurice Merleau-Ponty. Maurice Blanchot. Pierre Bourdieu. and E.H. Gombrich. and compares Malraux's thinking with aspects of contemporary Anglo-American aesthetics. The study reveals that an account of art which Gombrich once dismissed as "sophisticated double-talk" is in reality a thoroughly coherent and highly enlightening system of thought. with revolutionary implications for the way we think about art. Derek Allan has published widely on aspects of Malraux's works and the theory of art and literature. He holds a PhD in Philosophy and a Masters degree in French Language and Literature. and is currently a Visiting Scholar in the School of Humanities at the Australian National University. --Book Jacket.

"Vietnam and the Colonial Condition of French Literature explores an aspect of modern French literature that has been consistently overlooked in literary histories: the relationship between the colonies--their cultures, languages, and people--and formal shifts in French literary production. Starting from the premise that neither cultural identity nor cultural production can be pure or homogenous, Leslie Barnes initiates a new discourse on the French literary canon by examining the work of three iconic French writers with personal connections to Vietnam: Andre Malraux, Marguerite Duras, and Linda Lê. In a thorough investigation of the authors' linguistic, metaphysical, and textual experiences of colonialism, Barnes articulates a new way of reading French literature: not as an inward-looking, homogenous, monolingual tradition, but rather as a tradition of intersecting and interdependent peoples, cultures, and experiences. One of the few books to focus on Vietnam's position within francophone literary scholarship, Barnes challenges traditional concepts of French cultural identity and offers a new perspective on canonicity and the division between "French" and "francophone" literature.
