MYTH OF SISYPHUS,THE - Penguin Modern Classics

The Myth of Sisphus is one of the most profound philosophical written this century. It is a discussion of the central idea of Absurdity that Camus was to develop in his novel The Outsider. Here Camus poses the fundamental question: Is life worth living? If existence has ceased to retain significance when confronted with the fragmented and meaningless reality of the human condition, what then can, or should, prevent suicide? Camus movingly argues for a acceptance of reality that encompasses revolt, passion and, above all, libterty.
