Description
One of the most influential works of philosophy ever written—a crucial exposition of existentialist thought, now available in a stand-alone edition.
One of the most influential works of this century, The Myth of Sisyphus—featured here in a stand-alone edition—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 Myth of Sisyphus by Albert Camus is generally regarded as a profound philosophical essay exploring the absurdity of life and the human condition. Reviewers often highlight Camus's exploration of absurdism and his eloquent writing style, noting how the book challenges readers to find meaning in an indifferent universe. Some appreciate its depth and philosophical insights, while others find it dense but ultimately rewarding.
