Translated by Terence Kilmartin. Language: English. Weight: 6.4 ounces. First published in French in 1974. Trade Paperback. André Malraux (1901 1976) was a French novelist, art theorist, and minister of cultural affairs. Malraux's novel La Condition Humaine (Man's Fate) , published in 1933, won the Prix Goncourt. Lazarus is the fourth and final book in his autobiography. It is a personal meditation on death, exploring what death has meant to people from ancient to modern times. Malraux had been stricken by an almost fatal nervous disease. His illness evoked dream-like memories of earlier encounters - before a firing squad, an escape from a German prison camp, his father's suicide, the deaths of nearly everyone he had loved. A book to be pondered and savored. A classic of its kind. ; 149 pages .
