书籍介绍

One of the most influential works of this century, The Myth of Sisyphus and Other Essays is a crucial exposition of existentialist thought. Influenced by works such as Don Juan and the novels of Kafka, these essays begin with a meditation on suicide; the question of living or not living in a universe devoid of order or meaning. With lyric eloquence, Albert Camus brilliantly posits a way out of despair, reaffirming the value of personal existence, and the possibility of life lived with dignity and authenticity.

Born in Algeria in 1913, Albert Camus published The Stranger—now one of the most widely read novels of this century—in 1942. Celebrated in intellectual circles, Camus was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1957. On January 4, 1960, he was killed in a car accident.

用户评论
”Being aware of one's life, one's revolt, one's freedom, and to the maximum, is living, and to the maximum.” 英文也很难读 经常一段要反复看 准备再读一遍
No offence to Kierkegaard, Sartre and Heidegger, I think Albert Camus was the one who truly grasped the essence of Existentialism.
加缪唱着荒谬之歌，意识到人类即便再有理性，这个宇宙也无法以人类的理性来回应人类。所以人类的存在是无意义的、是荒谬的、是让上帝发笑的。但加缪忘记了一点，人的存在不是在和宇宙对话，而是在和人对话。
什么是超经典
虽千万人，吾往矣
The revolt gives life its value.
人间清醒天才，非常确定17岁的时候什么也没看懂，这次大概看懂了70%？加缪对世界的分析像一把冷静、直白的解剖手术刀一样。混乱的世界、人的理性渴望、以及因此对立形成的荒谬；面对荒谬和人的软弱所产生的危险的“希望”，以及当希望破灭的自杀。最大的takeaway是，要意识到人类理性的边界（就代表着万事无真理）和荒谬的存在性，以及面对荒谬时的清醒和勇敢。随便找一个信仰、大道理来依附是一个舒适但软弱的行为。我不确定的是加缪是否真正认为happy是what the absurd man possesses. He said: happiness and the absurd are two sons of the same earth. One must imagine Sisyphus happy.
繁花似锦也好，尘霜满鬓也罢，你一定要振奋昂扬，不畏艰难困苦，向上攀登。因为，挣扎向前本身，就是生命的意义。你必须要坚信，西西弗，是幸福的。
一知半懂
O my soul, do not aspire to immortal life, but exhaust the limits of the possible. 吾魂兮无求乎永生，竭尽兮人事之所能。
