Malraux, au destin si entier, a été un personnage charismatique. Engagé du côté républicain durant la guerre d’Espagne, puis dans la Résistance en 1944, c’est davantage son charisme que l’organisation de son commandement qui a contribué à forger sa légende. Peu militaire dans le comportement, mais guerrier dans l’esprit, il sut transformer son narratif en aventure artistique et politique.

Malraux was a charismatic figure who led a very full life. He engaged on the republican side during the Spanish civil war and later in the resistance in 1944, yet it was more his charisma than the organisation of his command that contributed to forging his legend. Not so military in his conduct although warrior in spirit, he was able to transform his narrative into an artistic and political adventure.
