Nel 1925, dopo un paio di esperienze in Asia e prima della sua "trilogia asiatica", Malraux pubblica questo dialogo immaginario fra un francese e un cinese, strumento per esprimere le sue idee sulle "tentazioni" (e sulle malattie dell'occidente). Come rimarcano le note editoriali, questi pensieri degli anni '20 prefigurano la sensibilità del pensiero francese a (breve) venire, anticipando molte riflessioni sul senso del controllo del proprio destino, sul rapporto fra cultura e tecnica, sulla spettacolarizzazione della vita, nonché sui semi in nuce della mutazione - o forse della decadenza - della cultura cinese stessa. Da leggere. ( )
