Ürün Tanıtımı

Aphilosophical exploration of the idea of 'rebellion' by one of the leadingexistentialist thinkers, Albert Camus' The Rebel looks at artistic andpolitical rebels throughout history, from Epicurus to the Marquis de Sade. ThisPenguin Modern Classics edition is translated by Anthony Bower with anintroduction by Oliver Todd.

The Rebelis Camus' 'attempt to understand the time I live in' and a brilliant essay onthe nature of human revolt. Published in 1951, it makes a daring critique ofcommunism - how it had gone wrong behind the Iron Curtain and the resultingtotalitarian regimes. It questions two events held sacred by the left wing -the French Revolution of 1789 and the Russian Revolution of 1917 - that hadresulted, he believed, in terrorism as a political instrument. In this toweringintellectual document, Camus argues that hope for the future lies in revolt,which unlike revolution is a spontaneous response to injustice and a chance toachieve change without giving up collective and intellectual freedom.

AlbertCamus (1913-60) is the author of a number of best-selling and highlyinfluential works, all of which are published by Penguin. They include TheFall, The Outsider and The First Man. Awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in1957, Camus is remembered as one of the few writers to have shaped the intellectualclimate of post-war France, but beyond that, his fame has been international.
