The Plague
The townspeople of Oran are in the grip of a deadly plague, which condemns its victims to a swift and horrifying death. Fear, isolation and claustrophobia follow as they are forced into quarantine. Each person responds in their own way to the lethal disease: some resign themselves to fate, some seek blame, and a few, like Dr Rieux, resist the terror.An immediate triumph when it was published in 1947, The Plague is in part an allegory of France's suffering under the Nazi occupation, and a story of bravery and determination against the precariousness of human existence.

The Rebel
The Rebel is Camus's 'attempt to understand the time I live in' and a brilliant essay on the nature of human revolt. Published in 1951, it makes a daring critique of communism - how it had gone wrong behind the Iron Curtain and the resulting totalitarian regimes. It questions two events held sacred by the left wing - the French Revolution of 1789 and the Russian Revolution of 1917 - that had resulted, he believed, in terrorism as a political instrument.In this towering intellectual document, Camus argues that hope for the future lies in revolt, which unlike revolution is a spontaneous response to injustice and a chance to achieve change without giving up collective and intellectual freedom.

Camus on Justice
A Metaphysics of Revolt"This book makes an impressive case for the contemporary relevance and importance of Camus's political thinking." —Anthony Rudd, author of The Philosophy of Camus "In an era marked by moral uncertainty and ideological extremes, Camus on Justice offers a critical lens to navigate the contemporary crisis of values, showing how Camus's philosophy can serve as a guiding compass in confronting the ethical and political dilemmas of our time." —Maciej Kałuża, co-editor of Brill's Companion to Camus "Camus on Justice is the perfect way into the thought of Albert Camus, whose work culminates in a revolt against injustice that seeks to avoid perpetrating even more injustice. DeLancey is an unerring guide into a meditation that navigates between the extremes of nihilistic despair and revolutionary excess." —David Walsh, author of The Invisible Source of Authority

Mein erstaunlicher Hang zu Fehltritten
Der Bestseller aus Italien und Gewinner des renommierten «Premio Campiello». Ein Roman über Steinmarder, Füchse, Hunde und Hühner - und eine Allegorie auf unsere Existenz. Denn im Spiegel des Tieres wird das menschliche Leben manchmal viel anschaulicher. In einer kühlen Winternacht, inmitten von Bäumen und Hügeln, wird ein Steinmarder zusammen mit seinen Geschwistern geboren. Der Vater kam ums Leben, die Mutter muss die Jungen allein durchbringen. Archy ist schwach, daher wird er von seiner Mutter für eineinhalb Hühner an einen alten Fuchs verkauft. Sein neuer Herr, Fëdor, lebt auf einer Anhöhe und ist voller Geheimnisse. Und er ist im Besitz einer Bibel, die er wie einen Schatz hütet. Die Tiere in diesem Buch können sprechen, sie benutzen Teller zum Essen, sie entzünden Feuer, und doch bleibt ihre Existenz ein harter und schonungsloser Kampf. Verlorene Lieben, die Grausamkeit der Welt, der Anreiz immer neuer Abenteuer bestimmen Archys Leben. Aber die eigentlichen Fragen stellen sich ihm erst, als der alte Fuchs beginnt, ihm von der Macht der Buchstaben zu erzählen, und ihn das Lesen und Schreiben lehrt. «Man denkt bei diesem Buch an Orwell, Camus, Unten am Fluss von Richard Adams oder an Mark Haddon. Hier ist ein wahrer Schriftsteller geboren!» Vanity Fair
