Description
Clamence, an expatriate Frenchman, indulges in a calculated confession. He recalls his past life as a respected parisian lawyer, a champion of noble causes, and, privately, a libertine--yet one apparently immune to judgment. As his narrative unfolds, ambiguities amass; every triumph reveals a failure, every motive a hidden treachery.

Description
El personaje de La caída establece un diálogo consigo mismo en el que están presentes las pasiones, angustias y vicisitudes humanas. Este diálogo es una especie de recuento de su vida, y al mismo tiempo, su visión de un mundo en el que no hay solución a los problemas existenciales del hombre. La novela está considerada como una de las obras claves del existencialismo en la literatura.

Description
A young Algerian, Meursault, afflicted with a sort of aimless inertia, becomes embroiled in the petty intrigues of a local pimp and, somewhat inexplicably, ends up killing a man. Once he's imprisoned and eventually brought to trial, his crime, it becomes apparent, is not so much the arguably defensible murder he has committed as it is his deficient character. In the story of an ordinary man who unwittingly gets drawn into a senseless murder on a...

One of the most influential works of this century, The Myth of Sisyphus and Other Essays is a crucial exposition of existentialist thought.

With lyric eloquence, Albert Camus brilliantly posits a way out of despair, reaffirming the value of personal existence,...
