The collection of stories published as Le Mythe de Sisyphe in 1942 was the second of the absurds. The work has been cited by critics as refined and carefully crafted. The collection stands as more literature than philosophy. Camus spent at least five years writing and editing the work. The polish is clear with the very first sentence: "There is only one really serious philosophical problem, and that is suicide." According to Camus, suicide was a sign that one lacked the strength to face "nothing." Life is an adventure without final meaning, but still, in Camus' eyes, worth experiencing. Since there is nothing else, life should be lived to its fullest and we should derive meaning from our very existence. For Camus, people were what gave life meaning. However, in the moments following the realization that one will die, that one's descendants will die...in fact, that the earth will die, one senses a deep anxiety. And, as an atheist, Camus doubted meaning beyond this life.

Albert Camus
Foi um escritor e filósofo francês nascido na Argélia, vencedor do Prêmio Nobel de literatura de 1957. Na sua terra natal viveu sob o signo da guerra, fome e miséria, elementos que, aliados ao sol, formam alguns dos pilares que orientaram o desenvolvimento do pensamento do escritor. Seus temas destacam o isolamento do homem em ambientes estranhos, o absurdo da vida e do universo e o exame da moral e da condição humana.
