Narrative Toward Books Man's Fate

As explosive and immediate today as when it was first published in 1933, 'Man's Fate' ('La Condition Humaine'), an account of a crucial episode in the early days of the Chinese Revolution, foreshadows the contemporary world and brings to life the profound meaning of the revolutionary impulse for the individuals involved.

As a study of conspiracy and conspirators, of men caught in the desperate clash of ideologies, betrayal, expediency, and free will, Andre Malraux's novel remains unequaled.

Translated from the French by Haakon M. Chevalier

Article Based On Books Man's Fate

It's no small endeavor to write a book titled "La condition humaine". Malraux is a towering figure though, and his book was chosen as the first edited in one of the main french pocket collections (it's the Folio n°1). It's a serious book, largely political, politics not as a game but as a desperate struggle for dignity and existence. More generally, it's a book about life when it is dedicated to death. The topic has aged: in the first part, an uprising of the communists in 1920s China, in the

I read Andre Malrauxs Mans Fate, one of those novels Ive really wanted to read for the longest time, some time ago. Its supposed to be one of the best fictional accounts of the Chinese revolution, the blurbs read, with a focus on the failed Shanghai Insurrection of 1927, which was brutally crushed by Chiang Kai-sheks troops. But now I feel shortchanged. For some reason, I felt that the novel was a bit overrated.Yes, there were not a few highlights, particularly in the first part leading to the

Man's fate, you'll get out of it altered, i'll put it next to "the stranger" by Camus...Brotherhood, love and hope find their reflection in the absurd, from individual to mass level, yet Malraux wont bash in your teeth, on the contrary he will leave you with an understanding, a certain lucidity and acceptance of our faith in it's darkest paroxysms. the book is filled with heartfelt situations, deciphered psychological behaviors brought to light in all their simplicity and bare naked humanity. a

Great book about the Chinese Civil War. It's not a chronicle, but a dramatisation of the few days surrounding a communist uprising against the regime and its foreign allies. The main characters are the party militants, led by Europeans, who have dedicated their lives to this violent ideology, and are determined to win or die trying. As is often the case, their lack of concern for their own wellbeing serves to justify their coldblooded mass calculations of the fate of others. It's a very well



I didn't realise until I picked this up from the library that it was set in a violent struggle between the Chinese communists and Chiang Kai Shek's Kuomintang in 1927 (almost 20 years before the communists came to power). It covers a very short time period and focuses on only four or five main characters, mostly but not all communists.Historically, it's a very interesting book. As literature, I found it rather patchy. The best parts for me were where Malraux gets philosophical or delves deeply

What can I say? Translated to Dutch by the author's friend Edgar Du Perron. Written in 1933. These are facts.This is, without doubt, the richest, most dense literature I have ever read. Every word seems to have meaning. Every sentence insists itself on the paper and is in a constant struggle with it's brethren to be the most beautiful and most meaningful one. Reading Malraux is not something you do for leisure. Ask Camus and Sartre (or Du Perron and Ter Braak). This is for those who want to grab
