The Myth of Sisyphus by Albert Camus

Vintage V-75, New York, unknown date. Later printing. Condition: Very good, light edge and corner wear, price sticker residue on front cover, light sunshadow.

One of the most influential works of this century, this is a crucial exposition of existentialist thought. 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 an absurd universe devoid of order or meaning. With lyric eloquence, Camus posits a way out of despair, reaffirming the value of personal existence, and the possibility of life lived with dignity and authenticity.
