    Relationships between history and literary creation have often been diffi cult to determine since both has always been interconnected. Having regard to this coexistence, it is important to ask whether the novelist- historian is a historian. This essay does not intend to make a systematic comparative study between L�Espoir written by André Malraux and the historical facts, but to focus on the infl uence of history on the novel. The novelist seizes history through various techniques to offer a personal interpretation.
