Abstract: Fascinated by André Malraux, his entourage has long conferred on him a mythical image which has been reinforced by the writer himself through his anti-memorial project. This typology of witnesses over time identifies four periods and reveals that the myth sketched out since the 1940s persisted until after the death of André Malraux, even though the latter had already allowed certain individuals close to him to speak out, marking the beginning of the demystification.
