About this Item
This is the Modern Library edition (No. 33) of "Man's Fate" (La Condition Humaine"), the great novel by Andre Malraux. The text was translated from the French into English by Haakon M. Chevalier. Here is the book's blurb, from the front flap of the dust-jacket: "No writer of our time has so vividly dramatized the living spirit of revolution, nor so completely identified himself with the struggle for a new social order as Andre Malraux. "Man's Fate", dealing with the 1925 - 1927 uprising in China, is, indeed, more than a novel of the fierce conflicts that tore a vast country asunder; it is a revelation of man's courage and heroism in the face of immanent annihilation. winner of the Goncourt Prize for 1933, "Man's Fate" established Andre Malraux as one of the leading novelists of France and the world". ********************* SERIES : Modern Library # 33.
