Albert Camus   

overview

One of the most influential works of this century, <i>The Myth of Sisyphus</i>—featured here in a stand-alone edition—is a crucial exposition of existentialist thought. Influenced by works such as <i>Don Juan</i> and the novels of Kafka, these essays begin with a meditation on suicide--the question of living or not living in a universe devoid of order or meaning. With lyric eloquence, Albert Camus brilliantly posits a way out of despair, reaffirming the value of personal existence, and the possibility of life lived with dignity and authenticity.
