Synopsis
"One of the key texts of Malraux's work . . . [its] pages must be counted among the most haunting in all of twentieth century literature."—Victor Brombert
"The description of the gas attack on the Russian front in 1915 will never be forgotten by anyone who has read it. . . . [Malraux] writes with the precision, the certitude and the authority of an obsessed person who knows that he has found the essence of what he has been looking for."—Conor Cruise O'Brien, from the Foreword
Malraux's greatest novel, Man's Fate, gave a grim, lurid picture of human suffering. [The Walnut Trees of Altenburg], written by a life-long observer of violent upheaval and within the shadows of World War II, gives a calm, thoughtful vision of humanistic endeavor that can transcend the absurdity of existence. Mature readers will find this a rewarding visit to one of the most accomplished writers of our time."—Choice

Trade Paperback. Condition: VG+. Joel Peter Johnson (illustrator). First Printing Thus. Wrappers. Forest green rear cover, decorative blue spine, artwork front cover are all clean and glossy. Book has a nearly unnoticable trace of rubbing at the extreme tips of a couple of the corners and a couple faint creases on the spine that can be seen if the book is held up against light at the right angle. Couple spots here and there throughout, and some brackets in the margins of a few pages to mark passages. Binding is straight and still tight. 224 pages. Solid reading copy. Not terribly common. Malraux probably best known for his novel Man's Fate. Seller Inventory # 009120
