The Myth of Sisyphus, and Other Essays

Front Cover
Knopf, 1955 - Absurd (Philosophy) - 212 pages
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. -- Text refers to other edition.
