El Mito de Sísifo / The Myth of Sisyphus
'No hay sino un problema filosófico realmente serio: el suicidio.' El mito de Sísifo es el ensayo fundacional de la filosofía del absurdo, una obra mayúscula que dio a conocer el gran talento de Albert Camus. Publicada en 1942, el mismo año que El extranjero, fue una de las primeras obras que revelaron al público la inteligencia y la sensibilidad del autor. El título del ensayo hace referencia a un personaje de la mitología griega que enfadó a los dioses por su extraordinaria astucia y fue condenado a empujar perpetuamente una piedra enorme montaña arriba. Al llegar a la cima, la piedra volvía a caer hasta el valle, desde donde Sísifo debía volver a empujarla hasta la cumbre, y así eternamente. Por medio de esta alegoría, Camus discute la cuestión del suicidio y el valor de la vida, presentando a Sísifo como imagen del esfuerzo inútil e incesante del hombre. De este modo plantea la filosofía del absurdo, según la cual nuestras vidas son insignificantes y no tienen más valor que el de lo que creamos. Siendo el mundo tan fútil, pregunta Camus, ¿qué alternativa hay al suicidio?

Speaking Out
The Nobel Prize winner's most influential and enduring lectures and speeches, newly translated by Quintin Hoare, in what is the first English language publication of this collection. Albert Camus (1913-1960) is unsurpassed among writers for a body of work that animates the wonder and absurdity of existence. Speaking Out: Lectures and Speeches, 1938-1958 brings together, for the first time, thirty-four public statements from across Camus's career that reveal his radical commitment to justice around the world and his role as a public intellectual. From his 1946 lecture at Columbia University about humanity's moral decline, his 1951 BBC broadcast commenting on Britain's general election, and his strident appeal during the Algerian conflict for a civilian truce between Algeria and France, to his speeches on Dostoevsky and Don Quixote, this crucial new collection reflects the scope of Camus's political and cultural influence.

Personal Writings
It was the discovery of the essays celebrating his childhood and youth that altered my perception of him, from a thinker to a writer whose intellectual lucidity was a product of the wealth - the sensual immediacy and clarity - that had been heaped on his senses

Algerian Chronicles
Camus’s Algerian Chronicles, edited and introduced by Alice Kaplan and beautifully translated by Arthur Goldhammer, affords Camus the belated opportunity to make his own case to the Anglophone public. This book, in slightly different form, proved his final public word on the Algerian question when it was originally published in June 1958… To witness the progression of his responses is to recognize above all the remarkable consistency of Camus’s moral conviction, the dogged optimism of his outlook, and his unfailing ability, even in the complex turmoil of emotional involvement with the issue, to cleave to his own principles of justice… It was this moral lucidity that had provoked Camus’s disenchantment with communism and underpinned his ardent opposition to the death penalty, a stance that prompted him to speak out, at different times, to save the lives of Nazi collaborators and FLN terrorists alike… Camus’s honesty and consistency retain, in retrospect, a moral purity that few others could claim.
