Resistance, Rebellion, and Death: Essays

In the discourse he gave after tolerating the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1957, Albert Camus said that an author “can’t serve today the individuals who leave a mark on the world; he should serve the individuals who are liable to it.” And in these twenty-three political papers, he exhibits his responsibility to history’s casualties, from the fallen maquis of the French Resistance to the setbacks of the Cold War.

Resistance, Rebellion and Death shows Camus’ thorough good insight tending to issues that range from pioneer fighting in Algeria to the social malignancy of the death penalty. Be that as it may, this mixing book is over every one of the a reflection on the issue of opportunity, and, in that capacity, has a place in an indistinguishable custom from the works that gave Camus his notoriety for being the inner voice of our century: The Stranger, The Rebel, and The Myth of Sisyphus.
