The tragedy of the Spanish Civil War, experienced firsthand by Malraux, is evoked in this novel with a narrative power that goes beyond reportage. "La speranza" (Man's Hope) is the "novel of History in the making," recording the actions of Republican fighters from different countries and turning them into a sublime and humble collective epic. The author of "Man's Fate" does not spare the reader the horrors of war, the existential anguish, and the contradictions of the revolution; yet, from the confusion, a more intimate communion emerges, forged in danger and suffering: that of hope. A great novel for difficult times, to be rediscovered today in a new, vibrant translation by Giovanni Pacchiano.
