Besides the irreducible deadline linked to death, besides the multiple and unspeakable sufferings, is it not given to everyone to choose their destiny? Of course, life is tragic but it must have meaning. A sense, perhaps senses, but only a few with saving virtues are available to men to free them from their condition. The Revolution, in the name of faith in fraternity, is a weapon against poverty, the one that chains man because it deprives him of his dignity. Overcoming humiliation in their name or for others through the Revolution is the fight that the heroes of The Human Condition have chosen. To escape the anxiety of "being only a man", love is another of these means, but only the true and fusional love that Kyo and May feel for each other is capable of breaking the deep solitude of beings. Miserable humanity, heroic and grandiose humanity, this is "the human condition"... It will forever resonate like an echo deep within oneself, as it is true that this novel is "admirably intelligent and, despite that, deeply immersed in life, committed, and panting with sometimes unbearable anguish", as Gide wrote. --Lenaïc Gravis and Jocelyn Blériot
