One of the most influential works of this century, The Myth of Sisyphus and Other Essays 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 a universe devoid of order or meaning. With lyric eloquence, Albert Camus brilliantly posits a way out of despair, reaffirming the value of personal existence, and the possibility of life lived with dignity and authenticity.

The entire existential thrust of Albert Camus revolves around his meditation on the absurd. The absurd arises out of the antagonism between man on one hand and the world on the other hand. While the movements of the world are absurd, man, in his insistence to uncover the meaning of life, contends fo face this world indifferent from his concerns. He therfore rebels in order to surpass this absurdity, and rejects any escape from the absurd either through death (physical suicide) or through religion/rationalism (intellectual suicide). At the heart of Camu's existential voyage is an implicit affirmation of life even within his forlorn condition; it is a "yes" to continue to battle through amidst the pains. Placing Camus's philosophical endeavor in overview, one can forward that it starts from man's preservation of himself as sketched in The Myth of Sisyphus, The Stranger, and Caligula, to man's transition of preserving others as concretized in The Plague, The Rebel, The Just Assasins, and The State of Siege. Thus it is a movement from the "I" as a solipsistic subject rebelling within the absurd to the "We" as man's solidarity with other subjects while facing the same dilemma. The Fall, which serves as the third stage of Camus's project where he tries to put on trial this "We" of involvement and participation, offers a cleansing of society (catharsis), hopeful of a life lived in authenticity. With the publication of the Exile and the Kingdom that brings to fore his early reflection, it was deemed that Camus's philosophy was already final.

More than fifty years after Algerian independence, Albert Camus’ Algerian Chronicles appears here in English for the first time. Published in France in 1958, the same year the Algerian War brought about the collapse of the Fourth French Republic, it is one of Camus’ most political works—an exploration of his commitments to Algeria. Dismissed or disdained at publication, today Algerian Chronicles, with its prescient analysis of the dead end of terrorism, enjoys a new life in Arthur Goldhammer’s elegant translation. “Believe me when I tell you that Algeria is where I hurt at this moment,” Camus, who was the most visible symbol of France’s troubled relationship with Algeria, writes, “as others feel pain in their lungs.” Gathered here are Camus’ strongest statements on Algeria from the 1930s through the 1950s, revised and supplemented by the author for publication in book form. In her introduction, Alice Kaplan illuminates the dilemma faced by Camus: he was committed to the defense of those who suffered colonial injustices, yet was unable to support Algerian national sovereignty apart from France. An appendix of lesser-known texts that did not appear in the French edition complements the picture of a moralist who posed questions about violence and counter-violence, national identity, terrorism, and justice that continue to illuminate our contemporary world.

In Damian Westfall's new book "Life is Absurd", Westfall gives us the proof of life's intrinsic absurdity and the futility of people's work and dreams. But that's not all. Westfall also gives us the solution to ending the suffering that comes from living an absurd existence: loving and serving GOD and living life with mindfulness in love and peace. Taken from King Solomon's Old Testament book "Ecclesiastes" and punctuated and adorned with several new English versions of psalms by King David, King Solomon's father, Life is Absurd not only diagnoses the absurdity of life and the suffering it causes people, but gives us an answer into the way out of that pathology and pain. From Life is Absurd: Nobody knows what's going to happen, nobody can tell the future, but it doesn't matter because only one thing is certain and that is that everybody dies: The good die, the bad die, the righteous die, the wicked die, those who believe in and serve JAH die, and those who reject JAH die, those that give to the poor die, and those who oppress the poor die, the successful will die and the unsuccessful will die. Everybody who lives on Planet Earth will all die. Death is the great equalizer. This is so wrong, this isn't fair! It's absurd! It's nonsense! People live their short futile lives obsessing on evil and insanity and lies and then they suddenly die and are completely forgotten as if they've never lived. Their loves and hates, their passions and dreams all died with them and will be completely forgotten. They will be absolutely and in no way of any significance or influence to and on the Planet Earth and its people. So, knowing this I suddenly realized that there was only one who would remember us after we die and that is JAH. And he loves us. So, knowing that life on Planet Earth is futile and absurd as you live on this spinning muck ball and love and serve JAH, enjoy yourselves! Enjoy your food and drink, enjoy your friends and family. I also realized this: fast runners don't always win their races and the brave and strong are sometimes defeated in battle. The wise are often poor, smart people sometimes end up broke and competent people don't always get management jobs. In the end, everyone has bad luck because everybody dies and you never know when your time comes. We're like birds who suddenly are caught in traps, like fish caught in a net: suddenly we die when we least expect it and that's that.

In this profound and moving philosophical statement, Camus poses the fundamental question: Is life worth living? If human existence holds no significance, what can keep us from suicide? As Camus argues, if there is no God to give meaning to our lives, humans must take on that purpose themselves. This is our 'absurd' task, like Sisyphus forever rolling his rock up a hill, as the inevitability of death constantly overshadows us. Written during the bleakest days of the Second World War, The Myth of Sisyphus argues for an acceptance of reality that encompasses revolt, passion and, above all, liberty. This volume contains several other essays, including lyrical evocations of the sunlit cities of Algiers and Oran, the settings of his great novels The Outsider and The Plague. Albert Camus is the author of a number of best-selling and highly influential works, all of which are published by Penguin. They include The Fall, The Outsider and The First Man. He is remembered as one of the few writers to have shaped the intellectual climate of post-war France, but beyond that, his fame has been international.

Exploring themes that preoccupied Albert Camus--absurdity, silence, revolt, fidelity, and moderation--Robert Zaretsky portrays a moralist who refused to be fooled by the nobler names we assign to our actions, and who pushed himself, and those about him, to challenge the status quo. For Camus, rebellion against injustice is the human condition.
