Georges André Malraux ( ; ; 3 November 1901 – 23 November 1976) was a French novelist, member of the French Resistance, art theorist, and minister of cultural affairs. Malraux's novel ''La Condition Humaine'' (''Man's Fate'') (1933) is set during the 1927 Shanghai uprising and won the Prix Goncourt; ''L'Espoir'' (''Man's Hope'', 1937) arose from his experiences during the Spanish Civil War. After the Second World War he abandoned fiction and wrote several works on art history, collected as ''La Psychologie de l'Art'' (''The Voices of Silence'', 1953). He was appointed by President Charles de Gaulle as information minister (1945–46) and subsequently as France's first cultural affairs minister during de Gaulle's presidency (1959–1969).
