<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"Originally published in the United States by Alfred A. Knopf, a division of Penguin Random House LLC, in 1955"--Title page verso.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>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.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Born in Algeria in 1913, <b>Albert Camus</b> published <i>The Stranger</i>--now one of the most widely read novels of this century--in 1942. Celebrated in intellectual circles, Camus was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1957. On January 4, 1960, he was killed in a car accident.
