André Malraux: An Age of OppressionAimed to coincide with the centenary of Malrauxs birth, Andre Malraux: An Age of Oppression is the first translation/annotated edition of Le Temps de mepris in a comprehensive format. The story (with the emphasis upon the psychological trauma suffered by a German political prisoner of the Nazis in the early 1930s) marks a significant moment in Malrauxs literary oeuvre, and a prophetic insight into the historical implicationsof the situation prevailing in pre-World War II Nazi Germany." |
