| | 1. |  | Spark Notes The Stranger
from SparkNotes
Price: $5.95
Customer Review:
This book, at first, seems plain. The simplicity and clarity of the writing is what makes the book unique. A man does this and that, describes what is, objectively, and goes about his life. He is detached, content, accepting, in touch with life as it is and doesn't taint existence with novel... more info

| | 2. | [no image] | The Plague
from Modern Library
Customer Review:
In the 21st century we expect to control and conquer disease. How can we imagine the horror of The Plague? Albert Camus gave us a chilling story, set in the Algerian city of Oran.

Price: $9.56
Customer Review:
One of the most difficult circumstances you can find yourself in is to have a semi-drunk person sit next to you and demand that you serve as their father confessor. They pour out to you all of the problems in their life, using you as a source of pity, sympathy and a bin to unload their troubles... more info

| | 6. |  | L'Etranger (Collection Folio, 2)
from Editions Gallimard
Price: $9.95
Customer Review:
The language in this short novel is simple and engaging, and probably the best (if not only) reason to read this book, particularly for students of french such as myself.
Unfortunately the story is very contrived and unconvincing, despite Camus' apparent attempts to ground it in a believable,... more info

Customer Review:
I have never read a book by Camus I didn't like, and this series of essays on man's inclination if not inborne need to rebel is one more example how how Camus has cemented himself as one of the greatest authors of the twentieth century.
I only wish I had read this book when I was younger, I... more info

Customer Review:
I just finished this book, and can only voice my disappointment. Not that it was a bad book,It was great, but that It wasn't finished. I have read The Stranger, The plague, The myth of sysyphus, and the fall. This book really helped to understand Camus more. You can see how his life overflowed into... more info

| | 10. |  | Resistance, Rebellion, and Death: Essays
from Vintage
Price: $11.16
Customer Review:
This collection of essays is the most brilliant one of Camus' diverse smaller non-fiction writings. The bulk of this book concerns his journalistic writings on the Algerian Revolution, Soviet Union etc. Through these essays, you understand the pain of Camus. Camus' ethics doesn't agree to mindless... more info
