Official synopsis Publisher
Le livre de Malraux reflète fidèlement le désarroi, les promiscuités et les atrocités d’une révolution; mais il en exprime aussi la conscience, le sens, le mouvement souterrain. Et c’est parce qu’il ne cache rien des horreurs et des niaiseries de la guerre civile, qu’il charge son titre d’une valeur singulière. Voici les fautes, voici les sots, les mercenaires, les guerriers, voici le doute qui prend le plus résolu quand, à l’instant de mourir, il sent que son corps était beau; mais voici cette attente, cet appel, cette recherche, on ne sait au juste de quoi, de quelque chose qui efface le passé, d’une communion plus intime dans le danger, la lutte, la souffrance, d’une patrie, d’une gestation, d’une justification par le sacrifice; – l’espoir.
