Albert Camus
The world is silent: live lucidly, in revolt.
Nuptials
Four lyrical essays on Algeria, published in Algiers. Not yet in our corpus.
The Stranger
His first novel, published the same year as The Myth of Sisyphus. Not yet in our corpus.
The Myth of Sisyphus essential
Essay on the absurd, Gallimard. Camus discusses Chestov, Kierkegaard, Jaspers and Husserl. Our French text comes from a reliable re-typesetting; the English is Justin O'Brien's 1955 translation, taken from an unproofread OCR and only approximately aligned, hence no context around the English extracts.
The Plague
Novel. Not yet in our corpus.
The Rebel essential
Essay on revolt and revolution, behind the break with Sartre in 1952. We have only the Introduction, chapter I and chapter V ("Thought at the meridian"). OCR-digitised text (Classiques des sciences sociales), not fully proofread. No free English translation in our corpus.
Speeches in Sweden essential
The Nobel banquet speech (10 December 1957) and the lecture "The Artist and His Time" (Uppsala, 14 December 1957), prepared and published by Camus.
The First Man
Unfinished novel, left in manuscript at his death and published in 1994: its order and form were not approved by the author. Not yet in our corpus.
