"Obviously, the author's own experience plays a very large part in the story, if story it is. At all events, this narrative of a few months spent at the headquarters of the Kuomintang in Canton is unfolded almost as plainly and baldly as an official report. There is little expense in detail, in the picturesque; but such trimmings as M. Malraux allows himself are relevant and impressive. Their cumulative effect is oddly terrifying."

The Conquerors (Paperback) (ISBN: 9780226502908) Malraux, Andre Quantity Available: 1
Book Description: The University of Chicago Press, United States, 1992. Paperback. Book Condition: New. New edition. 206 x 137 mm. Brand New Book with Free Worldwide Delivery. "The Conquerors" describes the struggle between the Kuomintang and the Communists in the Cantonese revolution of the 1920s. It is both an exciting war story and a gallery of intellectual portraits: a ruthless Bolshevik revolutionary, a disillusioned master of propaganda, a powerful Chinese pacifist, and a young anarchist. Each of these "conquerors" will be crushed by the revolution they try to control. In a new Foreword, Herbert R. Lottman discusses the political background of the book, and the extent to which Malraux invented the history he wrote about. "["The Conquerors"] is a valuable introduction to Malraux himself, who would, like his fictional counterpart, become an analgam of talents as novelist, essayist, Leftist and Gaullist, Resistance hero and art critic. He was among the most 'universal' of French men of letters."--"Choice " "The novel can be enjoyed as a remarkable work of modernism. With images derived from the silent cinema and prose from the telegraph, it moves at a tremendous pace. Canton all comes to violent life, seen as though from a speeding car."--"Kirkus " "No other writer of the 20th century had the same capacity to translate his personal adventure into a meeting with history and a dialogue of civilization."--Carlos Fuentes, " New York Times Book Review ".
