Malraux, the Absolute Agnostic, or, Metamorphosis As Universal Law

Moving beyond merely biographical or textual interpretation, Claude Tannery traces the philosophy of life and art developed by André Malraux. With both sensitivity and expert interpretation he defines the issues-personal and artistic as well as political-that underlie Malraux's writings-including early as well as late works, novels, speeches, and essays. The result is a new and subtle portrait of Malraux.
