The Royal Way ("La Voie Royale", 1930; also translated as The Way of the Kings) is an existentialist novel by André Malraux. It is about two nonconformist adventurers who travel on the "Royal Way" to Angkor in the Cambodian jungle. Their intention is to steal precious bas-relief sculptures from the temples. Along with Les Conquérants (1928), and Man's Fate (1933) it forms a trilogy on revolution in Asia. Source: Wikipedia (en)
