Notebooks 1951-1959
Albert Camus

Ivan R. Dee, Publisher, 2008

A 'must' for any college-level collection strong in Camus
College-level collections strong on Camus will find this a special acquisition presenting the notebooks withheld in France for some 29 years after his death, appearing for the first time in English. The first two volumes of his notebooks began simply but this ...
  
  











  



  
The Myth of Sisyphus: And Other Essays
Albert Camus

Vintage, 1991

Definitely worth a try
Not everyone is inclined to navel lintgazing. Nor is everyone up for the level of effort necessary to gain any type of understanding of Camus' writings either. That doesn't mean the effort should not be made though! I avoided Camus for years, until a reference at ...
  
  











  



  
The Stranger
Albert Camus

Hesperides Press, 2006

Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. Hesperides Press are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.
  
  











  



  
L'Etranger (Collection Folio, 2)
Albert Camus

Editions Gallimard, 1990

Classique de la litterature francaise
Je fais mon debut comme instite a un lycee. Pour le cours de francais V, on va commencer la litterature avec L'ETRANGER de Camus. Je crois que c'est l'endroit ideal pour commencer, car le livre se presente simplement au lecture, mais le mene aux themes importants de ...
  
  











  



  
The Plague
Albert Camus, Stuart Gilbert

Vintage, 1991

Find meaning in a meaningless existence / Camus is one cool cat
To an extent, all of Camus' novels are vehicles for his philosophy. Camus' philosophy begins with a simple idea, that life is absurd. Camus did not believe in God -- did not believe human actions hold any ultimate higher meaning -- he thought "death would undermine ...
  
  











  



  
The Stranger
Albert Camus

Vintage, 1989

American translation brings out stylistic subtleties
(This is a review of the Matthew Ward translation; black an dwhite cover) This is a newish translation, done by an American rather than the British translation that had previously been the only English version of this French classic. It seems Camus was heavily ...
  
  











  



  
The Plague, The Fall, Exile and the Kingdom, and Selected Essays (Everyman's Library)
Albert Camus

Everyman's Library, 2004

Love, Exile, and Suffering Illuminated by Life around Death
What is the meaning of life? For many, that question is an abstraction except in the context of being aware of losing some of the joys of life, or life itself. In The Plague, Camus creates a timeless tale of humans caught in the jaws of implacable death, in this case a ...
  
  











  



  
The Rebel: An Essay on Man in Revolt
Albert Camus

Vintage, 1992

Camus eclipses nihilism and brings news of a new age!
I first became interested in Albert Camus after reading a quote from The Rebel online. "I rebel, therefore we exist" was the quote, and I must admit that, after reading the book, there has never been anything truer written. When I was in a bookstore a few months ago ...
  
  











  



  
The Fall
Albert Camus

Vintage, 1991

Probably Too Complicated To Fully Describe in a Brief Review Here
Albert Camus (1913 - 1960) was a French writer and philosopher. He is often associated with existentialism, but Camus rejected any ideological classification. Camus was a young recipient of the Nobel Prize for Literature when he became the first African-born writer to ...
  
  











  



  
L Etranger
Albert Camus

Gallimard, 2005

a simple, classic existentialist french read
This book is incredibly easy to read in French. It was the first book I ever attempted to read in French, the language is simple, but the ideas bigger. I think that it illustrates how one might live as un être en soi, instead of an être pour soi, as we ought to be. ...
  
  











  



  
Caligula and Three Other Plays
Albert Camus

Vintage, 1962

To tell the reader what he WILL find in this book!
Camus' raw talent. There isn't anything negative to say about Camus, other than he died too young. If he'd lived through the 60's, he'd at the most give Sartre a good run for his money. I love Camus simply because he's the only writer/philosopher who 'beats you up' ...

The Stranger
Albert Camus

Vintage, 1954

Rebels Against the Gods
Albert Camus finished his first novel, "The Stranger", when he could not leave Paris during its first year of occupation by the German army in 1940-41. This was France's darkest hour, especially when right-wing collaborators betrayed many other French citizens to the ...
  
  











  



  
Exile and the Kingdom
Albert Camus

Vintage, 2007

A Good Selection of Both Solid and Eclectic Works
As a point of reference, I have read most of Camus's major works. The present collection is an interesting mixture of six short stories. The stories are more varied than his novels which tend to reflect his philosophy of the absurd. I thought the present stories were ...
