A daring critique of communism and how it had gone wrong behind the Iron Curtain, Camus' essay examines the revolutions in France and Russia, and argues that since they were both guilty of producing tyranny and corruption, hope for the future lies only in revolt without revolution. Throughout history, some books have changed the world. They have transformed the way we see ourselves - and each other. They have inspired debate, dissent, war and revolution. They have enlightened, outraged, provoked and comforted. They have enriched lives - and destroyed them. Now Penguin brings you the works of the great thinkers, pioneers, radicals and visionaries whose ideas shook civilization and helped make us who we are.

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.
