In his first novel, A Happy Death, written when he was in his early 20s and retrieved from his private papers following his death in 1960, Albert Camus laid the foundation for The Stranger, focusing in both works on an Algerian clerk who kills a man in cold blood. But he also revealed himself to an extent that he never would in his later fiction. For if A Happy Death is the study of a rule-bound being shattering the fetters of his existence, it is also a remarkably candid portrait of its author as a young man.

Ambientada a fines de los años cuarenta del siglo XX en Orán, La peste narra las vicisitudes de una ciudad cerrada durante un inesperado brote de peste bubónica. Ya en fechas de su publicación original, el autor confirmó lo que muchos lectores veían por sí solos: la epidemia era una alegoría de la ocupación nazi en Francia. Sin embargo, ese paralelismo no agota la capacidad profética del relato, que advierte sobre los peligros invisibles que acechan a toda sociedad moderna.

Paris is firing all its ammunition into the August night. Against a vast backdrop of water and stone, on both sides of a river awash with history, freedom’s barricades are once again being erected. Once again justice must be redeemed with men’s blood. Albert Camus (1913-1960) wrote these words in August 1944, as Paris was being liberated from German occupation. Although best known for his novels including The Stranger and The Plague, it was his vivid descriptions of the horrors of the occupation and his passionate defense of freedom that in fact launched his public fame.

Ce recueil se compose de quatre essais écrits en 1936 et 1937, publiés en 1950. "Noces" à Tipasa évoque un "jour de noces avec le monde".

Le vent à Djemila. Au crépuscule, dans le décor tragique d'une ville morte traversée par le vent, l'auteur exprime sa "certitude consciente d'une mort sans espoir".

From a variety of masterfully rendered perspectives, these six stories depict people at painful odds with the world around them. A wife can only surrender to a desert night by betraying her husband. An artist struggles to honor his own aspirations as well as society's expectations of him. A missionary brutally converted to the worship of a tribal fetish is left with but an echo of his identity. Whether set in North Africa, Paris, or Brazil, the stories in Exile and the Kingdom are probing portraits of spiritual exile, and man's perpetual search for an inner kingdom.

Historien starter på baren Mexico-City i Amsterdam hvor fortælleren Clamence antaster en tilfældig bargæst - og samtidig læseren - og starter sin besnærende monolog om sin turbulente tilværelse, fortællingen om et pænt og borgerligt livs fald. En nat hører Clamence et skrig fra floden, men han finder aldrig ud af, hvad der skete, for han tør ikke undersøge sagen. Denne begivenhed skal siden hjemsøge ham og bliver et eksistentielt vendepunkt. For lader vi ikke alt for ofte skæbnen afgøre livet for os, af frygt for selv at træffe valg?
