The Human Adventure
Violet M. Horvath
Making skillful use of structural
analysis, the author explicates the
theme of cyclic death and rebirth in
both the fiction ·and nonfiction. She
goes beyond the level of Malraux's
agnosticism to reveal the profoundly
Christianwellsprings of his vision, de–
rived from Pascal and St. Augustine.
