In addition to the tributes to Jean Moulin, Georges Braque and Joan of Arc, this collection brings together five other speeches delivered by Malraux between 1958 and 1965: “Libération de Paris,” “Discours d’Athènes,” “Discours de l’Unesco pour les monuments de Nubie,” “Discours de l’Alliance israélite universelle” and “Oraison funèbre de Le Corbusier.” They were reprinted in 1976 in Le Miroir des Limbes.
A very fine copy.
