One of the most influential works of this century, The Myth of Sisyphus and other Essays is a crucial exposition of existentialist thought. 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 posits a way out of despair, reaffirming the value of personal existence, and the possibility of life lived with dignity and authenticity. Albert Camus was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1957. Translated from the French by Justin O'Brien. 212 pp.
