Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'To create today means to create dangerously'This new collection contains some of Camus' most brilliant political writing as he reflects on moral responsibility and the role of the artist in the world. Letters to a German Friend, written and published underground during the Nazi occupation of France, was born out of Camus' experience in the Resistance and explores what it truly means to love your country. Reflections on the Guillotine, his impassioned polemic against the death penalty, became a touchstone for the movement to abolish capital punishment, while in his Nobel speeches Camus argues that the artist must engage with dangerous times. Together these powerful pieces express Camus' mistrust of rigid ideologies, and his commitment to human solidarity. 'Probably no European writer of his time left so deep a mark on the imagination' Conor Cruise O'Brien.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Once overshadowed by Sartre, Camus has proved the more durable of the two most celebrated French writer-philosophers of the last century. This collection of his work makes the reasons for his survival self-evident. In prose of bleak but piercing clarity, Camus cuts to the heart of each story he tells. After The Outsider (also published in Everyman) The Plague is his most powerful novel, at once an account of heroic attempts to contain an epidemic in Algeria and a parable of the human condition. In The Fall a once-successful Parisian lawyer tells his own tale of decline and self-discovery, Exile and the Kingdom collect together a number of short stories which explore the existentialist predicament from various viewpoints. This volume also contains two important essays - The Myth of Sisyphus and Reflections on the Guillotine - which reflect on the themes developed in the fiction.

First Edition. Original poster printed offset in bright blue on white newsprint, measuring 55.75x45.25cm.; a bit of age-toning, faint ironed-out mail folds, else Very Good to Near Fine. Flyer announcing a lecture to be followed by a debate regarding capital punishment in France, held at the Salle de l'Artistique in Nice, March 28, 1958. The lecture, "Tu Ne Tueras Point!" (Thou Shalt Not Kill!) was delivered by the rather laconic author and screenwriter Claude Luxel, known for his hand in co-writing Henri Decoin's 1949 film noir "Entre Onze Heures et Minuit" (Between Eleven and Midnight), and a few mystery stories and novels. The flyer also advertises a debate to follow featuring French actors and actresses, mostly of the stage, including Roger Monteaux of the Comédie Francaise; Andrée Florence; Yvette Maurech; René Ferral, Michel Garnier, and Jean Combal. A hot topic during the 1950s thanks in part to the author Albert Camus and as the prevalence of imposing capital punishment (usually in the form of the guillotine, though occasionally by firing squad) waned. 22 people were executed between 1959 and 1981, when the penalty was abolished, with the last taking place in 1977. This poster apparently unrecorded with no holdings in OCLC, nor does Luxel's talk appear to have ever made it into print.
