Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On se prend encore à rêver du grand roman indien qu'aurait pu écrire André Malraux, du temps où il écrivait des romans. Ou de l'essai artistique, spirituel et prophétique qu'il eût pu consacrer ensuite à l'Inde, lorsqu'il eut cessé d'écrire des romans pour se livrer à ses réflexions sur l'art, l'histoire ou la littérature... Mais ces ouvrages n'existent pas, alors que l'Inde est le pays lointain où Malraux s'est rendu le plus souvent, en voyages privés ou en missions officielles, de 1930 à 1974, année de son ultime voyage. Et que l'Inde est sans doute le pays qui l'a le plus fasciné, l'accompagnant durant toute sa vie et irriguant sa pensée et son œuvre. Agnostique aimanté par un pays si profondément mystique, esthète séduit par un art millénaire, il a été aussi un homme politique fasciné par une immense nation secouant - sans violence - le joug colonial anglais, gagnant son indépendance, puis sa place parmi les grands pays du tiers-monde émergent. Malraux, dans ses dernières années, insistait sur le rôle majeur que l'Inde serait appelée à jouer sur la scène mondiale. Ce début du troisième millénaire est en train de lui donner raison. Nous avons voulu, humblement, combler ce manque en imaginant un livre fondé sur le dialogue entre deux civilisations, représentées par des intellectuels, des diplomates, des journalistes, des analystes ou témoins privilégiés de la longue aventure indienne de Malraux. Un livre-puzzle qui s'appuie sur tout ce que Malraux a écrit ou dit sur l'Inde, œuvres, préfaces, discours ou interviews, dont nombre d'inédits ; et qui rassemble des études d'universitaires indiens ou français, mettant en lumière tel ou tel aspect de cette relation unique entre un écrivain planétaire et un pays hors-normes. Le livre s'ouvre sur une chronologie détaillée et illustrée, de 1930 à 1974. Viennent ensuite trois grandes parties. La première, consacrée aux écrits " indiens " de Malraux, d'Écrit pour une idole à trompe aux Antimémoires. La deuxième, centrée autour de ses recherches sur l'art. La troisième enfin, retraçant ses voyages en Inde, privés ou officiels, ses rencontres, ses prises de position politiques et son engagement retentissant lors du conflit du Bangladesh.

Download or read book Malraux written by Olivier Todd and published by Knopf. This book was released on 2007-12-18 with total page 657 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Writer, publisher, war hero, French government minister, André Malraux was renowned as a Renaissance man of the twentieth century. Now, Olivier Todd–author of the acclaimed biography Albert Camus–gives us this life, in which fact competes dramatically with his subject’s previously little-known mythomania. We see the adventurous young Malraux move from 1920s literary Paris to colonial Cambodia, Cochin China, and Spain in its civil war. Todd charts the thrilling exploits that would inspire such novels as Man’s Fate, but, just as fascinating, he also traces Malraux’s lifelong pattern of lies: claiming friendship with Mao, he was called to tutor Nixon, despite having met the Great Helmsman only once; a minor injury becomes in recollections a near-mortal battlefield wound; stories of heroism in the French Resistance omit to mention that Malraux joined up just a few weeks before the Allied landings. With meticulous research, Todd separates myth from reality to throw light on a brilliant con man who would become a national hero, but he also lets us see Malraux’s genuine achievements as both writer and man of action. His real life and the one he embroidered come together in this superb biography to reveal how Malraux, the protean genius, became his own greatest character.

Book excerpt: Depuis les années soixante jusqu'à sa mort, André Malraux n'a cessé de prophétiser : "L'Inde sera un des plus grands pays du monde". Aujourd'hui, sa prédiction est devenue évidence : l'Inde, sans avoir jamais renoncé à ses cinq mille ans d'histoire, de religion et de traditions, fait partie intégrante de notre univers culturel, politique et économique. Comprendre l'Inde du XXI ? siècle, c'est donc (re)découvrir Le Râmâyana, Le Mahâbhârata, le bouddhisme, le Gange, les castes, la médecine ayurvédique, le kalaripayat (ancêtre des arts martiaux), les exploits des sadhu, les mélos de Bollywood, la musique de Ravi Shankar, les multiples façons de cuisiner le riz... C'est aussi saluer quelques figures d'exception qui l'ont servie - Gandhi, Nehru, Indira Gandhi... Voyage en compagnie de Henri Michaux, Yann Martel, Amitav Ghosh, Dominique Fernandez, Raj Rao, Rabindranath Tagore, Catherine Clément, Anoushka Shankar, Pankaj Mishra, Sarah Dars, Arundhati Roy et bien d'autres...
Download or read book Le g nie de l Inde written by Guy Sorman and published by . This book was released on 2000 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: L'Inde hante l'imagination de l'Occident. Il y a deux mille ans y surgirent la charité et la croyance en l'immortalité de l'âme ; le christianisme en fut l'héritier. Au siècle des Lumières, nos philosophes y découvrirent la tolérance religieuse. Dans les années 20, le Mahatma Gandhi révéla au monde l'efficacité de la non-violence dans l'Histoire. En 1968, l'écologie et le féminisme nous parvinrent aussi de l'Inde. Aujourd'hui, face à un Occident désenchanté par sa propre réussite matérielle, le voyage en Inde entrepris par Guy Sorman fait découvrir un continent mal connu et son véritable visage : l'Inde est-elle véritablement une démocratie ? Que reste-t-il des castes et des gourous ? Comment y a-t-on vaincu la faim ? Pourquoi le pays se développe-t-il désormais plus rapidement que la Chine ? Cette Inde contemporaine recèle-t-elle encore quelque message de portée universelle ? Pour Guy Sorman, de l'Inde au présent les Occidentaux peuvent rapporter le supplément d'âme et la fantaisie qui font tant défaut à la démocratie libérale et à l'économie de marché. " L'Inde qui apprend à vivre ", en disait André Malraux. Ce qui, plus que jamais, reste vrai.

Download or read book Gandhi and Nationalism written by Simone Panter-Brick and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2014-12-16 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gandhi's nationalism seems simple and straightforward: he wanted an independent Indian nation-state and freedom from British colonial rule. But in reality his nationalism rested on complex and sophisticated moral philosophy. His Indian state and nation were based on no shallow ethnic or religious communalism, despite his claim to be Hindu to his very core, but were grounded on his concept of swaraj - enlightened self-control and self-development leading to harmony and tolerance among all communities in the new India. He aimed at moral regeneration, not just the ending of colonial rule. Simone Panter-Brick's perceptive and original portrayal of Gandhi's nationalism analyses his spiritual and political programme. She follows his often tortuous path as a principal, spiritual and political leader of the Indian Congress, through his famous campaigns of non-violent resistance and negotiations with the Government of India leading to Independence and, sadly for Gandhi, the Partition in 1947. Gandhi's nationalism was, in Wm. Roger Louis's phrase, 'larger than the struggle forindependence'. He sought a tolerant and unified state that included all communities within a 'Mother India'. Panter-Brick's work will be essential reading for all scholars and students of Indian history and political ideas.

Download or read book Fictions of 1947 written by Kate Marsh and published by Peter Lang. This book was released on 2007 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The end of the British Raj, and the creation of the two states of India and Pakistan in August 1947, is a recognizable narrative within British Anglophone culture and colonial history. In contrast, the persistence of the five French trading posts, or comptoirs, on the Indian subcontinent until 1954 remains largely ignored by both French and British historians of French colonialism and the popular culture of the Hexagone. In examining metropolitan French-language representations of Indian decolonization, this book demonstrates the importance of the British imperial loss in 1947 as a reference point within French cultural production. The critical investigation into the strategies of representation used problematizes existing Anglophone theoretical models, by critics such as Said, Bhabha and Spivak, for the analysis of colonial discourse. It reveals that French-language representations of Indian decolonization cannot be fully appreciated without engaging methodologically with France's politically subordinate status in India. The book thus challenges the commonly accepted binary between colonizer and colonized, proposing in its place a triangular model composed of the colonized (India), the 'subaltern' colonizer (France), and the dominant colonizer (Britain). Through a systematic critical evaluation of the range of texts (journalistic, intellectual, political, and literary) produced in metropolitan France by authors such as Romain Rolland, Jean Rous, Hélène Cixous, Catherine Clément and Marguerite Duras, the book challenges the current postcolonial orthodoxy that the story of Indian decolonization is solely an Anglophone space.

Download or read book Andr Malraux written by Domnica Radulescu and published by Peter Lang Incorporated, International Academic Publishers. This book was released on 1994 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Be it in the light fantastic of his early work, or the classic tragedy of La Condition humaine, or sensuous poetry of the Antimémoires, André Malraux uses «farfelu» and related discourses to represent, not the simple «misogyny» of his critics, but a complex image of the symbolism of the sexes and of their interrelations - notably as regards the erotic, maternal, artistic and other aspects of the feminine. As Domnica Radulescu shows, in phenomenological (Bachelardian) terms, «farfelu» discourse is part of Malraux's creation through art of a true «anti-destiny, » a cosmic eroticism which recursively forms the primary material of the poetic imagination.

Download or read book Albert Camus s The New Mediterranean Culture written by Neil Foxlee and published by Peter Lang. This book was released on 2010 with total page 364 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book was shortlisted for the R.H. Gapper prize 2011. On 8 February 1937 the 23-year-old Albert Camus gave an inaugural lecture for a new Maison de la culture, or community arts centre, in Algiers. Entitled 'La nouvelle culture méditerranéenne' ('The New Mediterranean Culture'), Camus's lecture has been interpreted in radically different ways: while some critics have dismissed it as an incoherent piece of juvenilia, others see it as key to understanding his future development as a thinker, whether as the first expression of his so-called 'Mediterranean humanism' or as an early indication of what is seen as his essentially colonial mentality. These various interpretations are based on reading the text of 'The New Mediterranean Culture' in a single context, whether that of Camus's life and work as a whole, of French discourses on the Mediterranean or of colonial Algeria (and French discourses on that country). By contrast, this study argues that Camus's lecture - and in principle any historical text - needs to be seen in a multiplicity of contexts, discursive and otherwise, if readers are to understand properly what its author was doing in writing it. Using Camus's lecture as a case study, the book provides a detailed theoretical and practical justification of this 'multi-contextualist' approach.
