The Myth of Sisyphus wer. angielska

In this profound and moving philosophical statement, Camus poses the   fundamental question: Is life worth living? If human existence holds no   significance, what can keep us from suicide?

As Camus argues,   if there is no God to give meaning to our lives, humans must take on   that purpose themselves. This is our 'absurd' task, like Sisyphus   forever rolling his rock up a hill, as the inevitability of death   constantly overshadows us. Written during the bleakest days of the   Second World War, The Myth of Sisyphus argues for an acceptance of   reality that encompasses revolt, passion and, above all, liberty.
This   volume contains several other essays, including lyrical evocations of   the sunlit cities of Algiers and Oran, the settings of his great novels The Outsider and The Plague.

Albert   Camus is the author of a number of best-selling and highly influential   works, all of which are published by Penguin. They include The Fall, The Outsider and The First Man. He is remembered as one of the few writers   to have shaped the intellectual climate of post-war France, but beyond   that, his fame has been international.
