Committed Writings: Penguin Modern Classics

Autor Albert Camus Traducere de Justin O'Brien Introducere de Alice Kaplan
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 26 aug 2020
'To create today means to create dangerously'

This new collection contains some of Camus' most brilliant political writing as he reflects on moral responsibility and the role of the artist in the world.Letters to a German Friend, written and published underground during the Nazi occupation of France, was born out of Camus' experience in the Resistance and explores what it truly means to love your country.Reflections on the Guillotine, his impassioned polemic against the death penalty, became a touchstone for the movement to abolish capital punishment, while in his Nobel speeches Camus argues that the artist must engage with dangerous times. Together these powerful pieces express Camus' mistrust of rigid ideologies, and his commitment to human solidarity.

Albert Camus(1913-1960) grew up in a working-class neighbourhood in Algiers. He studied philosophy at the University of Algiers, and became a journalist. His most important works includeThe Outsider,The Myth of Sisyphus,The PlagueandThe Fall. After the occupation of France by the Germans in 1941, Camus became one of the intellectual leaders of the Resistance movement. He was killed in a road accident, and his last unfinished novel,The First Man, appeared posthumously.

Recenzii

Probably no European writer of his time left so deep a mark on the imagination
Camus helps you become "the one you are". And the revolt he incites, an assertion of individual freedom, brings you into a recognition of common human suffering and of the common need to lessen it and to enliven the lives of all
