Set in North Africa, Paris, and Brazil, the six stories in this masterful collection reveal probing portraits of spiritual exile, and man’s perpetual search for an inner kingdom in which to be reborn.
From a variety of masterfully rendered perspectives, these six stories depict people at painful odds with the world around them. A wife can only surrender to a desertnight by betraying her husband. An artist struggles to honor his own aspirationsas well as society’s expectations of him. A missionary brutally converted to theworship of a tribal fetish is left with but an echo of his identity. They display Camus at the height of his powers.
Now, on the50th anniversary of the book’s publication, Carol Cosman’s new translation recoversa literary treasure for our time.
Albert Camus won theNobel Prize for Literaturein 1957.
