André Malraux / Signed Autograph Letter / La Condition Humaine / Prix Goncourt
Autograph letter signed "André Malraux" to a critic sl, 30 [1933], 1 page in-8 to nrf header. Remarkable literary letter, entirely about the human condition. Sir, thank you for the article vs.
[you] dedicated to my book. I understand, of course, the distrust of a book about China; but, precisely, (it happens that I participated in events similar to those I staged) the revolutionary milieu of canton, han-keou, Shanghai, was very little Chinese, in fact: majority of whites; and even more deeply, for the Chinese who were part of it were no longer Chinese. The revolution, since 1911, has been made by Protestant or Westernized cadres.
As for the communist lorthodoxy of certain sentences, it is not doubtful, but it was not more so in reality. All this is not very important; I do not insist that because I reply to your article by following the course, it is because of the rest that I write to you, and I only want to thank you. Believe, I see [you] pray, sir, to the assurance of my feelings of sympathy.
