The Must-Read Albert Camus Set

🧠 Albert Camus: The Absurd and the Human Spirit

This collection gathers five of the most seminal works by Albert Camus, a Nobel Prize-winning French author and philosopher whose writing profoundly explored the concept of the Absurd—the conflict between humanity’s innate desire for meaning and the universe’s cold indifference.

The set includes his powerful novels: The Stranger (The Outsider), a classic existentialist text about an emotionally detached man; The Plague, an allegorical novel on human resilience and solidarity; and The Fall, a searing examination of guilt and modern self-deception. Also included is the philosophical essay, The Myth of Sisyphus, which tackles the problem of suicide as a response to the absurd. The collection is rounded out by the short story collection Exile and the Kingdom.

This is an essential library for understanding 20th-century philosophy and literature, offering a deep look at moral responsibility and the search for meaning in a meaningless world.
