The Myth Of Sisyphus

Written during the bleakest days of the Second World War, Camus argues for an acceptance of reality that encompasses revolt, passion and, above all, liberty. Inspired by the myth of a man condemned to ceaselessly push a rock up a mountain and watch it roll back to the valley below, The Myth of Sisyphus transformed twentieth-century philosophy with its impassioned argument for the value of life in a world without religious meaning.
