TL;DR: In this paper, Malraux fut le plus grand romancier europeen a se pencher sur la situation du proletariat chinois, and Sembene Ousmane est aussi le plus great romanier africain a etre sensibilise par les problemes du proletariat africains.
Abstract: Jusqu'a sa mort, survenue le 23 novembre 1976, Andre Malraux fut le plus grand romancier europeen a se pencher sur la situation du proletariat chinois. Sembene Ousmane est aussi le plus grand romancier africain a etre sensibilise par les problemes du proletariat africain. Chacun des deux s'est servi de cette classe opprimee et exploitee par laquelle s'explique l'histoire de leur peuple pour creer une nouvelle classe de heros. De leur misere et leur anonymat, les membres de cette classe sont sortis pour donner les grandes lecons d'heroisme: altruisme, sacrifice, intransigeance, esprit indomptable, nationalisme, grandeur d'âme, honnetete et fidelite a une cause bien tracee.
