Albert Camus portrayal of a man confronting the absurdity of human life became a classic. Yet it is also a book filled with quiet joy in the physical world, and this new translation sensitively renders the subtleties and dreamlike atmosphere of The Outsider. My mother died today. Or maybe yesterday, I don t know. In The Outsider (1942), his classic existentialist novel, Camus explores the alienation of an individual who refuses to conform to social norms. Meursault, his anti-hero, will not lie. When his mother dies, he refuses to show his emotions simply to satisfy the expectations of others. And when he commits a random act of violence on a sun-drenched beach near Algiers, his lack of remorse compounds his guilt in the eyes of society and the law. Yet he is as much a victim as a criminal. Albert Camus portrayal of a man confronting the absurd, and revolting against the injustice of society, depicts the paradox of man s joy in life when faced with the tender indifference of the world. Sandra Smith s translation, based on close listening to a recording of Camus reading his work aloud on French radio in 1954, sensitively renders the subtleties and dream-like atmosphere of L Étranger. Albert Camus (1913-1960), French novelist, essayist and playwright, is one of the most influential thinkers of the 20th century. His most famous works include The Myth of Sisyphus (1942), The Plague (1947), The Just (1949), The Rebel (1951) and The Fall (1956). He was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1957, and his last novel, The First Man, unfinished at the time of his death, appeared in print for the first time in 1994, and was published in English soon after by Hamish Hamilton. Sandra Smith was born and raised in New York City and is a Fellow of Robinson College, University of Cambridge, where she teaches French Literature and Language. She has won the French American Foundation Florence Gould Foundation Translation Prize, as well as the PEN Book-of-the-Month Club Translation Prize.

Albert Camus⠙s lively journals from his eventful visits to the United States and South America in the 1940s, available again in a new translation. In March 1946, the young Albert Camus crossed from Le Havre to New York. Though he was virtually unknown to American audiences at the time, all that was about to change⠔The Stranger, his first book translated into English, would soon make him a literary star. By 1949, when he set out on a tour of South America, Camus was an international celebrity. Camus⠙s journals offer an intimate glimpse into his daily life during these eventful years and showcase his thinking at its most personal⠔a form of observational writing that the French call choses vues (things seen). Camus⠙s journals from these travels record his impressions, frustrations, joys, and longings. Here are his unguarded first impressions of his surroundings and his encounters with publishers, critics, and members of the New York intelligentsia. Long unavailable in English, the journals have now been expertly retranslated by Ryan Bloom, with a new introduction by Alice Kaplan.

Bloom and Kaplan⠙s notes and annotations allow readers to walk beside the existentialist thinker as he experiences changes in his own life and the world around him, all in his inimitable style.

The stories of Exile and the Kingdom explore the dilemma of being an outsider - even in one s own country - and of allegiance. With intense power and lyricism, Camus evokes beautiful but harsh landscapes, whether the shimmering deserts of his native Algeria or the wild, mysterious jungles of Brazil.Here a Frenchwoman is gradually seduced by the sheer difference of North Africa, a mutilated renegade is driven mad by the cruelty of his own people, and a barrel-maker watches the slow decline of his craft. A kindly teacher must choose between the law and a life, while a modest painter is out of his depth in the hypocrisy of the art world, and a French engineer discovers a new sense of belonging in a distant land.French novelist, essayist, and playwright. Albert Camus (1913-1960) was a representative of non-metropolitan French literature.

The summation of the existentialist philosophy threaded throughout all his writing, Albert Camus The Myth of Sisyphus is translated by Justin O Brien with an introduction by James Wood in Penguin Classics.In this profound and moving philosophical statement, Camus poses the fundamental question: is life worth living? If human existence holds no significance, what can keep us from suicide? As Camus argues, if there is no God to give meaning to our lives, humans must take on that purpose themselves. This is our absurd task, like Sisyphus forever rolling his rock up a hill, as the inevitability of death constantly overshadows us. Written during the bleakest days of the Second World War, The Myth of Sisyphus (Le Mythe de Sisyphe) argues for an acceptance of reality that encompasses revolt, passion and, above all, liberty. This volume contains several other essays, including lyrical evocations of the sunlit cities of Algiers and Oran, the settings of his great novels The Outsider and The Plague.Albert Camus (1913-60) is the author of a number of best-selling and highly influential works, all of which are published by Penguin.

A groundbreaking history of how the Black Death unleashed revolutionary change across the medieval world and ushered in the modern ageIn 1346, a catastrophic plague beset Europe and its neighbours. The Black Death was a human tragedy that abruptly halved entire populations and caused untold suffering, but it also brought about a cultural and economic renewal on a scale never before witnessed. The World the Plague Made is a panoramic history of how the bubonic plague revolutionized labour, trade, and technology and set the stage for Europe⠙s global expansion. James Belich takes readers across centuries and continents to shed new light on one of history⠙s greatest paradoxes. Why did Europe⠙s dramatic rise begin in the wake of the Black Death? Belich shows how plague doubled the per capita endowment of everything even as it decimated the population. Many more people had disposable incomes. Demand grew for silks, sugar, spices, furs, gold, and slaves. Europe expanded to satisfy that demand⠔and plague provided the means. Labour scarcity drove more use of waterpower, wind power, and gunpowder. Technologies like water-powered blast furnaces, heavily gunned galleons, and musketry were fast-tracked by plague. A new ⠜crew culture⠝ of ⠜disposable males⠝ emerged to man the guns and galleons. Setting the rise of Western Europe in global context, Belich demonstrates how the mighty empires of the Middle East and Russia also flourished after the plague, and how European expansion was deeply entangled with the Chinese and other peoples throughout the world.

Beautiful, moving, profoundly imaginative in itself - this book is as entertaining as it is relevant and practical ALAIN DE BOTTON Anyone who has an imagination - that is, everyone - should read this book EDWARD ENNINFUL An extraordinary book - an elaborate cabinet of curiosities SPECTATORFor some, the imagination is a luxury in the modern age; something which is by turns elusive, difficult to employ and better left to others. But what is it to imagine exactly? How do we go about it, and why is it so important that we imagine for ourselves?In this insightful and life-affirming book, Albert Read puts the imagination back at the forefront of our lives. Not merely a nebulous concept reserved for artists and creatives, it is a muscle - an essential faculty of the mind to be trained and developed over a lifetime. It is boundless in its potential, infinitely rewarding and central to human achievement.Spanning pre-historic times through to the twenty-first century, The Imagination Muscle explores the genesis of ideas - from Thomas Edison s serial embracing of failure to Jane Jacobs vision of how we should build cities together; from Steve Jobs approach to office design to the Japanese concept of Ma. Touching on art, music, film, literature, science and entrepreneurship, this book examines how the imagination has evolved - in shape, power and pace - through the millennia.Albert Read reveals how we can harness the imagination in our day-to-day lives and why, in the new Age of Technology, it is more pressing than ever that we do so. Discover where to find ideas, how to foster skill in observation and connection, and how to be more attentive to the fluxes of our own minds.After all, as Read expertly outlines, the imagination is our supreme gift, our biggest opportunity, our greatest source of fulfilment and our most vital asset for the future.

Hlas Alberta Camuse zní ze všech jeho románů nejosobněji právě v této knize. Autor putuje ke kořenům, hledá sám sebe, odkrývá myšlenková východiska svých knih. Podněcuje čtenáře, aby důsledně promysleli jejich poselství. Opravdu jsou Camusovi vlastní všechny pojmy běžně spojované s jeho jménem - existencialismus, absurdita, společenské vyloučení, revolta? Autor vyjadřuje hluboký vztah k Alžírsku jako k svému prvnímu domovu, zatímco Francie pro něj navždy zůstala druhým, nikoli však vlastním domovem. Camusova přimknutost k zemi jeho dětství je stejného rodu jako láskyplný vztah k hluché, jen ze rtů odezírající negramotné matce, v jejíž chudé domácnosti na předměstí Alžíru vyrostl. Sebevýchova prvního člověka Camuse se musela obejít bez autority otce, bez jeho předaných zkušeností a pravd. Je věrný sám sobě, vědomý si svých chyb, nelítostně poctivý… a přitom se nevzdává naděje. Revoltuje proti utrpení, učí (se) milovat, co je nedokonalé. Jeho vnitřní, skutečná, žitá úcta k lidské práci ho rozdělila od pařížských intelektuálů, kteří o proletariátu jen vedli řeči. Kvůli tomu všemu je právě dnes namístě číst Camuse pozorně! Albert Camus zamýšlel tímto dílem vytvořit tolstojovsky velký román své doby. Paradoxně znejistělý udělením Nobelovy ceny bolestně s psaním zápasil, když ho ve třetině zamýšleného celku zastihla tragická smrt. Tímto románem zahajuje nakladatelství LEDA soustavnou ediční řadu Camusových děl v nově zpracovaných, autoritativních překladech.

Selected here are some of his finest personal essays about Algeria and its environs, including the luminous ‘Nuptials at Tipasa’, one of his earliest works where he developed the themes that would inform his later philosophy: to thrive now, without hope for paradise, as mortal life alone can be worthwhile.

By one of the most profoundly influential thinkers of our century, The Rebel is a classic essay on revolution that resonates as an ardent, eloquent, and supremely rational voice of conscience for our tumultuous times.For Albert Camus, the urge to revolt is one of the essential dimensions of human nature, manifested in man s timeless Promethean struggle against the conditions of his existence, as well as the popular uprisings against established orders throughout history. And yet, with an eye toward the French Revolution and its regicides and deicides, he shows how inevitably the course of revolution leads to tyranny. Translated from the French by Anthony Bower.

Written in 1957, when North African independence movements were gaining momentum, The Colonizer and the Colonized studies the enduring legacy, political as much as psychological, of colonisation throughout the world. Albert Memmi depicts colonialism as a disease of the European but crucially he demonstrates that colonialism destroys both the colonizer and the colonized, providing penetrating insights into colonial inheritance and resistance that remain as relevant today. One of the great works of twentieth-century political thought, The Colonizer and the Colonized speaks to experiences in the Global South as well as European countries such as Britain and France, who are still struggling with their imperial pasts. In revealing the mechanisms of colonial oppression, it also highlights the origins of all oppression of one group by another. This edition includes introductions by two of the greatest writers of the twentieth-century: South African novelist and Nobel laureate Nadine Gordimer, and Jean-Paul Sartre.

In a bestselling work of profound and lasting importance, the late Albert Hourani told the definitive history of the Arab peoples from the seventh century, when the new religion of Islam began to spread from the Arabian peninsula westwards, to the present day. It is a masterly distillation of a lifetime of scholarship and a unique insight into a perpetually troubled region.This updated edition by Malise Ruthven adds a substantial new chapter which includes recent events such as 9/11, the US invasion of Iraq and its bloody aftermath, the fall of the Mubarak and Ben Ali regimes in Egypt and Tunisia, and the incipient civil war in Syria, bringing Hourani s magisterial history up to date. Ruthven suggests that while Hourani can hardly have been expected to predict in detail the massive upheavals that have shaken the Arab world recently he would not have been entirely surprised, given the persistence of the kin-patronage networks he describes in his book and the challenges now posed to them by a new media-aware generation of dissatisfied youth.In a new biographical preface, Malise Ruthven shows how Hourani s perspectives on Arab history were shaped by his unique background as an English-born Arab Christian with roots in the Levant.

Celebrate the “photographer’s photographer,” Albert Watson, one of the most in-demand and versatile portrait, fine art, and fashion photographers. This Collector’s Edition showcases Watson’s textured, graphic, often cinematic style that shines across genres, time periods, and subjects including Steve Jobs, Keith Richards, David Bowie, Jack Nicholson, and Uma Thurman.Collector’s Edition (No. 201–1,200), each numbered and signed by Albert Watson What makes Albert Watson one of the world’s most revered photographers, hailed by peers, critics, and collectors alike? Is it his unparalleled portfolio of celebrity portraits? Breathtaking landscapes? Sensual nudes, still lifes, illustrious fashion shoots?KAOS presents a kaleidoscopic overview of Watson’s career to date and the dazzling array of subjects, objects, people, and places he has encountered along the way. A skillfully curated survey of a uniquely diverse, dynamic portfolio, it spans nearly half a century of photography to encounter stars, statesmen, women, and strangers; bound through neon-blazing cities; find figures poised, gymnastic, or shimmering with nude eroticism; roam the bright lights and the backstreets; soak up extravagant sunsets; enter the controlled studio environment; and breathe in the elemental wilds of the photographer’s native Scotland. From Watson’s breakthrough portrait of Alfred Hitchcock for the Christmas 1973 edition of Harper’s Bazaar to a 2016 shot of Kanye West, each photograph reverberates with tightly coiled power, tension, and poetry. Whether it’s a portrait of a Las Vegas dominatrix, Elvis’s gold suit, a chimpanzee, or a street scene in China, Watson excels in capturing the surface seamlessly and probing its myriad depths. Along the way, his celebrity portraiture, including the likes of David Bowie, Jay Z, Mick Jagger, Michael Jackson, Jack Nicholson, Steve Jobs, and Andy Warhol, shows a particular interest in the private person behind the iconic façade. This remarkable collection is accompanied by an essay from the recently retired head of photographs at Christie’s, Philippe Garner, and extensive quotes from Watson, as well as dozens of previously unpublished Polaroids, culled from Watson’s personal archives. The result is a defining document of the “photographer’s photographer,” iridescent in its graphic, often cinematic allure, and irresistible in its eclectic glory.Collector’s Edition of 1,000 copies (No. 201-1,200), each numbered and signed by Albert Watson. Also available as four signed Art Editions (No. 1–200), all with a signed print. The artist Albert Watson (b. 1942) born in Scotland, his striking images have appeared on more than a hundred covers of Vogue and have been featured in countless other publications, including Rolling Stone and Time. Watson has also photographed for hundreds of successful ad campaigns for companies such as Prada, Revlon, and Chanel. All the while, he has spent much of his time working on personal projects from Marrakech to Las Vegas. His breakthrough came in 1973, with a shot he still considers the most important of his career: Alfred Hitchcock holding a plucked goose. The author Philippe Garner is an expert in 20th-century photography, design, and decorative art. He has written numerous essays and books, from studies of the lives of Émile Gallé and photographers Cecil Beaton and John Cowan, to his Sixties Design for TASCHEN. A former director of Christie’s, he has also curated shows for museums in London, Paris, and Tokyo. The editor Reuel Golden is former editor of the British Journal of Photography.

Is it possible to die a happy death?This is the central question of Camus s astonishing early novel, published posthumously and greeted as a major literary event. It tells the story of a young Algerian, Mersault, who defies society s rules by committing a murder and escaping punishment, then experimenting with different ways of life and finally dying a happy man. In many ways A Happy Death is a fascinating first sketch for The Outsider, but it can also be seen as a candid self-portrait, drawing on Camus s memories of his youth, travels and early relationships. It is infused with lyrical descriptions of the sun-drenched Algiers of his childhood - the place where, eventually, Mersault is able to find peace and die without anger, without hatred, without regret .

Překlad francouzského výboru vydaného roku 2002 přináší úryvky z děl různých žánrů: novinové články, úryvky beletristických děl nebo esejů, osobní dopisy, předmluvy ke sborníkům a ukazuje jak různorodost Camusovy tvorby, tak hlubokou jednotu jeho otázek i přesvědčení. Vybrané texty byly napsány v letech 1943 až 1958 a od té doby se mnoho změnilo a otázka terorismu nabyla podstatně odlišných rozměrů. Camus se nedožil nezávislého Alžírska, ani pádu SSSR, ani vzestupu náboženského fanatismu. Přestože promýšlel a psal tyto stránky pro svou dobu, nepochybně se týkají i nás - ať jde o novinové články nebo úryvky z esejů a literárních děl - a mohou nám pomoct lépe pochopit současné dění v Alžírsku, na Středním východě i newyorské události z 11. září 2001. Tyto texty totiž vypovídají o Camusově prozíravosti založené na morálních, filosofických a politických úvahách, jež jsou vždy úzce spjaty s historickými událostmi. Camus důrazně odmítá jakkoliv ospravedlňovat zabíjení a nesouhlasí s tvrzením, že by účel světil prostředky, protože je přesvědčen, že násilí je zároveň nevyhnutelné i neospravedlnitelné a že určité meze jsou nezbytné proto, aby spravedlnost, svoboda, lidská důstojnost a štěstí zůstaly zachovány; přináší nám tedy vzkaz bez iluzí, ale paradoxně také důvody, abychom si ze světa nezoufali. (Z úvodu Jacqueline Levi-Valensiové)

Tragický příběh muže a tří jemu blízkých žen odehrávající se v „podivném“ hostinci za nímž stojí absurdní nedorozumění. Návrat „ztraceného syna“ do vlasti, kterou opustil před mnoha lety, ke své matce a sestře, se dotýká věčných témat viny a trestu, osudu, schopnosti komunikace a revolty proti neutěšenému životu, lásky mezi lidmi a v neposlední řadě existence Boha. Camus příběh zasadil do „nevlídné krajiny“ Čech. Hra od držitele Nobelovy ceny za literaturu vychází v nové, u nás zatím nepublikované, verzi v překladu Ivana Zmatlíka jako 142. svazek edice D.
