A Nobel Prize-winning author delivers one of the most influential works of the twentieth century, showing a way out of despair and reaffirming the value of existence.
Influenced by works such as Don Juan 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 presents a crucial exposition of existentialist thought.
Great book with a thought provoking ideas
"Good book surrounding the nature of meaning in life and other philosophical thought pieces. Excerpts of this were part of a course and I found reading the entire book added a tremendous amount to my knowledge. I also found many other elements of the book illuminating and interesting."
