André Malraux (1901 1976) was a French novelist, art theorist, and minister of cultural affairs. Malraux's novel La Condition Humaine (Man's Fate) (1933) won the Prix Goncourt. The Conquerors is set in the chaos of pre-civil war China, just after the death of Sun Yat-sen, and just after the Shameen Incident of June 23, 1925, during the Canton-Hong Kong strike. An unnamed narrator of has been invited by an old acquaintance to come to Canton to assist Comintern agents attempting to break the British hold on Hong Kong with a general strike. The acquaintance, Pierre Garine, is head of the propaganda department, and the narrator--raised in French Indo-China and fluent in Mandarin--is to be his interpreter and translator. The book was published in 1928--not too long after the events described. Malraux seeks to describe events and to outline in the figure of Garine the intellectual hero of that era. Many of the men of Garine's type were either disillusioned or executed in the following years as the communists consolidated their power. Nevertheless, The Conquerors provides a keen and insightful look into the mindset of the time and into the motivations that moved the action behind movements that were not localized, but part of a larger, world-wide revolutionary effort. A slim, but engaging classic of historical fiction. Seller Inventory # 57455
