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,...

"Pienso que nuestra fraternidad, que se manifiesta en todos los planos, va mucho más lejos de lo que los dos pensamos y aun de lo que sentimos. Cada vez más seremos un incordio para la frivolidad de los explotadores de nuestra época, para los selectos pregoneros de uno y otro bando. Tanto mejor.
