André Malraux's journey to China: antimémoires
Keywords:
Malraux, Literature, China, Orient, Travel, Geopolitics, Twentieth centuryAbstract
Malraux's writing forcefully poses the problem of the relations between the real and the imaginary, between action and its representation, between poetry and truth. As this article will show, André Malraux found in his trip to China the inspiration for a new process of artistic creation that culminates in his work Antimémoires, where action and history build the guiding thread of a metaphysical and mythological travel story. Our analysis will show how his life and his work, deeply united, are the two forms of an intense organization of himself, life constructed as work and work narrated as life.
