1 of 1 people found the following review helpful By Steven H Propp TOP 100 REVIEWER on February 23, 2015
Format: Paperback
Albert Camus (1913-1960) was a French author, journalist, and philosopher, who won the 1957 Nobel Prize for Literature for his novels such as The Stranger, The Plague, The Fall, etc. He also wrote nonfiction such as The Rebel: An Essay on Man in Revolt, Resistance, Rebellion, and Death: Essays, Lyrical and Critical Essays, etc.

He wrote in the Preface, "For me `The Myth of Sisyphus' marks the beginning of an idea which I was to pursue in The Rebel: An Essay on Man in Revolt. It attempts to resolve the problem of suicide, as The Rebel attempts to resolve that of murder, in both cases without the aid of eternal values which, temporarily perhaps, are absent or distorted in contemporary Europe. The fundamental subject of `The Myth of Sisyphus' is this: it is legitimate and necessary to wonder whether life has a meaning; therefore it is legitimate to meet the problem of suicide face to face.
