«A Estrada Real» is the adventure novel by André Malraux, published by Publicações Dom Quixote in 1991, in paperback (175 pages, in Portuguese).
The narrative takes up the adventure genre and turns it into a reflection on death and the human condition. The action advances through the protagonist's experience, in a line that continues the themes of Les Conquérants. Originally published in 1930 as La Voie royale, it received the Prix Interallié that same year.
The Portuguese translation is by Ana Luísa Faria.
Readers of classic French fiction and adventure novels with a philosophical undertone, and those who follow the work of André Malraux.
Georges André Malraux was a French novelist, member of the French Resistance, art theorist, and minister of cultural affairs. Malraux's novel La Condition Humaine (1933) is set during the 1927 Shanghai uprising and won the Prix Goncourt; L'Espoir arose from his experiences during the Spanish Civil War. After the Second World War he abandoned fiction and wrote several works on art history, collected as La Psychologie de l'Art. He was appointed by President Charles de Gaulle as information minister (1945–46) and subsequently as France's first cultural affairs minister during de Gaulle's presidency (1959–1969).
