The Myth of Sisyphus

Throughout history, some books have changed the world. They have transformed the way we see ourselves - and each other. They have inspired debate, dissent, war and revolution. They have enlightened, outraged, provoked and comforted. They have enriched lives - and destroyed them. Now Penguin brings you the works of the great thinkers, pioneers, radicals and visionaries whose ideas shook civilization and helped make us who we are.

Inspired by the myth of a man condemned to ceaselessly push a rock up a mountain and watch it roll back to the valley below, The Myth of Sisyphus transformed twentieth-century philosophy with its impassioned argument for the value of life in a world without religious meaning.

Om forfatteren

Albert Camus (1913-60) 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 include The Outsider, The Myth of Sisyphus, The Plague and The 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.

d
den som treng ei dame – 15.12.2005

– Mi overskrift tatt i betrakting så er dette likevel ei god bok. Språket er ikkje av dei mest kompliserte og argumenta ikkje av dei mest nyanserte og nøyaktige, men boka greier likevel på ein klar og lettfatteleg måte å framstille nokre av dei såkalla "evige" spørsmåla i den menneskelege eksistensen.
Sjølvmordet står på menyen og det diskuterast ein del fram og tilbake. Resultatet av denne diskusjonen er vel neppe så altfor original, og ein smule heroisk om vi skal høyre på den franske litteraturkjennaren og filosofen Deleuze, men greitt. Korleis det no enn er, syns eg det er eit must å få med seg denne boka. Den er lettlest, ganske så djup og sist men ikkje minst ein klassikar.
Les!
