Description: Hardcover. 8vo. Alfred A. Knopf, New York. 1955. 212 pgs. First US Edition/First Printing. DJ has shelfwear present (heel of the spine is chipped at the heel; rear flap is starting to separate from the rear panel of the DJ) . Bound in half black cloth and yellow paper covered boards. Boards have shelf-wear present to the extremities. No ownership marks present. Text is clean and free of marks. Binding tight and solid. One of the most influential works of this century, The Myth of Sisyphus and Other Essays is a crucial exposition of existentialist thought. Influenced by works such as Don Juan and the novels of Kafka, these essays begin with a meditation on suicide; the question of living or not living in a universe devoid of order or meaning. With lyric eloquence, Albert Camus brilliantly posits a way out of despair, reaffirming the value of personal existence, and the possibility of life lived with dignity and authenticity.

Description: First American Edition. 8vo, publishers original black cloth lettered in gilt over yellow boards and in the dustjacket. 212 pp. A fine copy in a handsome dustjacket with some light edgewear. CLASSIC PHILOSOPHICAL ESSAY ORIGINALLY PUBLISHED IN FRANCE IN 1942. "All of Camus's literary work rests on his philosophical essay, The Myth of Sisyphus, which, taking its title from the legend of Sisyphus, and his eternal rock-pushing, analyzes a contemporary intellectual malady, the recognition of the absurdity of human life." - Justin O'Brien. "Camus asks a difficult metaphysical question - why man sensing the absurdity of his existence does not commit suicide - and answers with a moving acceptance of the human condition on its own terms: revolt, liberty, and passion". - Publisher
