«Antimemorias» is the autobiographical work by André Malraux, published in paperback (571 pages, in Spanish).
Malraux avoids chronological narration and combines personal memories, reflections on art and politics, and historical episodes of the 20th century. The result is a portrait of the author as an intellectual and man of action, where individual memory intersects with collective history and questions about the human condition.
Translation by E. Pezzoni. Work originally published in 1967; this Spanish edition appeared in 1968.
For readers of memoirs and essays interested in the 20th century and in the figure 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).
