Description
Introduction · · · · · ·
This book collects the essence of Camus's works from 1933 to 1939: the collection of essays "The World Below and the World Below", the collection of essays "A Congenial Marriage" and the novel "A Happy Death". The themes all revolve around the metaphysical question of life and death, so "The World Below and the World Below" is the title of the book. Camus believed that "every artist has a source of self-improvement in the depths of his soul, which nourishes his words and deeds throughout his life", and the first work "The World Below and the World Below" is the source of this source. The four essays in "A Congenial Marriage" are Camus' early travel notes, in which he expressed his feelings about life in poetic language. "A Happy Death" is Camus's debut novel. Although it is not very mature, it clearly reflects Camus' philosophical ideas.
About the Author
Albert Camus (1913-1960) is a famous French novelist, essayist and playwright, and a literary master of absurd existential philosophy. In 1957, he won the Nobel Prize in Literature for "his passionate and calm exposition of the questions that contemporary times raise for human conscience", and he is one of the youngest Nobel Prize winners in history.
In his novels, plays, essays and treatises, Camus profoundly reveals the loneliness of man in an alien world, the increasing alienation of the individual from himself, and the inevitability of sin and death. However, while revealing the absurdity of the world, he was not desperate or depressed. He advocated resistance in the absurdity and adherence to truth and justice in despair. He pointed out a free and humanitarian path for the world other than religious belief and totalitarianism. His courage to face the bleakness of life and his fearless spirit of "knowing it is impossible but doing it anyway" made him the spokesperson of his generation and the spiritual mentor of the next generation not only in France, but also in Europe and eventually in the world after World War II.
