Abstract: If André Malraux generated much admiration during his long career, he also provoked displays of heinous rejection. The rhetoric of antimalrucianisme has its own themes, stereotypes, theoreticians, ideological variations, and also more contemporary adaptations. The different texts evoked sketch a “counter-biography” of André Malraux, a rival to hagiographic discourse as well as the texts making up Le Miroir des limbes .
