Abstract:
The works of André Malraux provoke a lot of reactions in the literary world by virtue of their direct bearing on human life and man‟s fate. As a result, social themes such as fraternity, solidarity, loneliness, love, torture, suffering, misery, action, death and revolt and many others in his works have been thoroughly dealt with by many critics and analysts.
However, the theme of conflict has not been extensively studied. The different types of conflicts that run through the novel and which constitute undoubtedly an important aspect of Malraux‟s thought are directly linked to human existence. This study aims at analyzing and treating this theme. The aim is to identify the different types of conflicts and to demonstrate the extent to which relationships in a society, love and the mentality of a person constitute potential forces of conflict.
Mankind is undoubtedly an entity perpetually confronted with conflicts which are part and parcel of his existence. Conflicts or confrontations are unavoidable but can be minimized if they are identified and checked. We have therefore attempted to identify the repercussions of conflicts on societies, relationships and individuals and highlight suggestions proposed by André Malraux in La Condition humaine to solve, minimize and, if possible, avoid conflicts.
