Publisher's Synopsis
One of the most influential works of philosophy ever written: a crucial exposition of existentialist thought, now available in a stand-alone edition. Influenced by Don Juan and the novels of Kafka, The Myth of Sisyphus presents a meditation on suicide; the question of living or not living in a universe devoid of order or meaning. With lyrical eloquence, Albert Camus, winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature, brilliantly posits a way out of despair, reaffirming the value of personal existence and the possibility of life lived with dignity and authenticity.
