Albert Camus
A Nobel Prize-winning author delivers one of the most influential works of the twentieth century, showing a way out of despair and reaffirming the value of existence.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.

"I liked what the bigger picture of the book how the world is portrayed as this absurd plane and we have to jump into it and there is no absolute meaning or purpose to life and comparing others idealogies to Camus's. The writing itself was boring dull, neverending, and poorly written in my opinion Id recommend listening to a lecture about it rather than actually reading it"

"Oh yes. It was pretty foundational to my thinking. The Stranger is another great. His acknowledgement of the Absurd and how to face it spoke to the rebel in me! Everyone should read this."
