About the Author

Born in 1913 in Algeria, Albert Camus was a French novelist, dramatist, and essayist. He was deeply affected by the plight of the French during the Nazi occupation of World War II, who were subject to the military's arbitrary whims. He explored the existential human condition in such works as show more L'Etranger (The Outsider, 1942) and Le Mythe de Sisyphe (The Myth of Sisyphus, 1942), which propagated the philosophical notion of the "absurd" that was being given dramatic expression by other Theatre of the Absurd dramatists of the 1950s and 1960s. Camus also wrote a number of plays, including Caligula (1944). Much of his work was translated into English. He was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1957. Camus died in an automobile accident in 1960. (Bowker Author Biography) show less

The Rebel: An Essay on Man in Revolt by Albert Camus

Begins slowly, ends as Voltaire cultivating his garden. The rebel's 'no' must provide the same answer to the will to power, or be lost. Invest in the people around you.

'At this moment, when each of us must fit an arrow to his bow and enter the lists anew, to reconquer, within history and in spite of it, that which he owns already, the thin yield of his fields, the brief love of this earth, at this moment when at last a man is born, it is time to forsake our age and its adolescent furies. The bow bends; the wood complains. At the moment of supreme tension, there will leap into flight an unswerving arrow, a shaft that is inflexible and free.'

Now more than ever.… (more)

The Stranger by Albert Camus

I was almost hoping not to like this one because it's considered peak philosophy bro literature. Sadly I found it very frustrating to the point where I couldn't put it down. You want him to defend himself because you know what's happening, but he's so trusting of his government. The book makes me feel like Im slowly getting drowned in a box thats filling with water.

The Myth of Sisyphus by Albert Camus

The Myth of Sisyphus ("Sisyphus") strikes me as a fairly correct and important discussion of meaning, value, and purpose. The world doesn't hand these things to us. Sisyphus of course reminds me a great deal of stoic philosophy and of the old Zen Patriarchs. "Not wind, Not flag - Mind moves."

Despite its importance, I do find that this work (at least, the translation I have at my home) is less than clearly stated, sometimes to the point of meandering. That's not a terrible sin, of course, but I'm a fairly slow reader, so I tend to be picky.

I hope that I'll have occasion to return to Sisyphus and re-evaluate.… (more)

The Stranger by Albert Camus

ReadAroundTheWorld. Algeria

The Stranger was written in 1942 by Nobel prize-winning Algerian author Albert Camus and has been translated from French. It is hailed as a literary classic and masterpiece of existential philosophy and absurdism.

The story is set in Algiers. It begins with the narrator, a man called Meursault, going to pay his respects to his mother who has just died in a nursing home. In the second half of the book his friend Raymond gets into a fight with some Arabs on the beach. One of the Arabs is brother to Raymond’s ex-girlfriend, who Raymond beat up for cheating on him. Meursault talks Raymond out of shooting them, takes the gun, but later ends up shooting one of the men himself. He is put on trial, but the trial seems to focus more on his lack of emotion around his mother’s death than the events of the shooting.

Although I can appreciate the quality of the writing and depth of thought, I would have to honestly say I did not enjoy this book. The characters were not likeable, were repulsive even, and the story not particularly gripping. Maybe it was just too clever and sophisticated for me.… (more)
