About this ebook

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.

Ratings and reviews

While some parts of the book were quite hard to understand, one can find some truly profound lessons to apply to one's own life in the modern day. Camus is an expert writer, and incredibly wise in philosophical knowledge. If you're interested in philosophy and want to know what Absurdism is all about, I'd certainly recommend this book.
