"Camus as a writer is fabulous, and Camus as a philospher is compelling. What makes this interesting is you sense the struggle is real within him, indeed Camus did flirt with Nihilism before rejecting it outright. The concept of the book perfectly sums up his theory of the absurd as well as his ultimate philosophical standpoint; it says something about the text that by the end of it you find yourself nodding in agreement at such a neat analogy to our own struggle for meaning. For in the end, what can you do but live, and live the best you can? It's the darkest self-help book ever written, and everybody should probably read it." - Amazon Reviewer

  • Mô tả

In this profound and moving philosophical statement, Camus poses the fundamental question: If human existence has no meaning, is life worth living?

'What I touch, what resists me - that is what I understand'

As Camus argues, if there is no God to give meaning to our lives, humans must take on that purpose themselves. This is our 'absurd' task, like Sisyphus condemned forever to roll a rock up a hill. Written during the bleakest days of the Second World War, The Myth of Sisyphus argues for an acceptance of reality that encompasses revolt, passion and, above all, liberty, gained through an awareness of pure existence.

This volume contains several other essays, including lyrical evocations of the sunlit cities of Algiers and Oran, the settings of his great novels The Outsider and The Plague. The writings in this volume are all, in their own way, hymns to the physical world and the elemental pleasures of living.
