ENGLISH DESCRIPTION First volume of The Mirror of Limbo, an incomparable testimony by Andr Malraux, one of the great French intellectuals of the 20th century. Andr Malraux captured the great crises of the 20th century in novels such as Man's Fate, Days of Hope, and Days of Wrath. Yet Malraux himself was as fascinating as any of his fictional characters, and in his Anti-Memoirs, the first part of his autobiographical work titled The Mirror of Limbo, he presents the extraordinary story of his own life--a narrative that spans his explorations in Asia and Africa, his participation in the Spanish Civil War, his time in Cambodian and Gestapo prisons, and his tenure as France's Minister of Culture under General de Gaulle. Overflowing, lyrical, and ultimately unclassifiable, this collection stands as a privileged witness to its time. This edition includes a comprehensive introduction on the genesis of the work and a detailed chronology of the author's life, both written by Ignacio Echevarr a.
