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. History is therefore absorbed not in the biological sense of the word which may mean its capture, destruction and digestion, that is its complete dissolution, but in the symbolic and literary sense which entails its exploitation by fi ction that is its integration and use for aesthetical.
