AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Superb copy illustrated by André Masson of this work that brings together three major texts and condenses the author's philosophical and moral thought: The Myth of Sisyphus (1942), The Rebel (1951), and The Swedish Discourse (1957).

The Myth of Sisyphus develops the notion of absurd, defining the confrontation between human desire for meaning and the silence of the world, and proposes the figure of Sisyphus as a metaphor for the human condition, where lucidity and inner revolt become responses to the absence of transcendence.

The Revolted Man broadens this reflection by analyzing the historical and philosophical forms of revolt, from metaphysics to politics, and denouncing the totalitarian excesses that transform revolt into a justification for violence, while affirming an ethics of moderation and dignity.

The Swedish Address, delivered during the Nobel Prize in Literature ceremony, expresses the writer's responsibility to his time, his mission of truth and justice, and his fidelity to the humble and the oppressed.

The whole constitutes a synthesis of Camus's thought, where absurdity, revolt, and responsibility are intertwined in a philosophy of lucidity and moral engagement.
