You do me a great honour and give me great pleasure, for he played an important part in my life, even though I never met him in person”, followed by a one-page typewritten article with a handwritten correction: “A star of the first magnitude, Malraux shone very brightly in my small provincial sky... (They) had made me read *La condition humaine*, then later *La voie royale*, and it was a shock! The world suddenly opened up; there were other countries, other societies, other arts, other moral codes? Subtle and learned civilisations, free individuals whose lives were an adventure?”. Note: Ménie Grégoire (1919–2014), whose real name was Marie Laurentin, was a French journalist and writer. She was particularly active as a journalist championing women’s issues on radio and television. She wrote over 25 books.
