Reviews

  • Das beste Buch von Malraux, was er je geschrieben hat. Im Vordergrund steht die Revolution, doch es geht um mehr, um all dass was uns Menschen betrifft. Unsere Träume, Ängste etc.

  • élément comme la description, et dans les délais!!

  • Unfortunately annotated in pen for the first section

  • Not the page-turner I remembered from reading it in English, but still good, and a good book to read in the original, since it is not too complicated. The ideals now seem s but simplistic.

  • Un morceau d anthologie littéraire.
