‘In 1946 and 1949, Albert Camus made two trips across the Atlantic, first to the United States, then to South America. He was at the height of his fame. The Outsider, his first novel, and The Myth of Sisyphus, his influential philosophical essay, had both been published during the war; The Plague was to appear between the writing of the two diaries. They both reveal Camus at his most personal, struggling to find an ethic in a decade when human history had darkened as never before’ (dust jacket blurb).
A fine copy.
