Product Description

The Myth of Sisyphus (Vintage International)

One of the most influential philosophical essays of the 20th century, The Myth of Sisyphus by Albert Camus is a cornerstone of existentialist and absurdist thought. Written in 1942, this landmark work confronts one of philosophy's most fundamental questions: if life has no inherent meaning, why go on living?

Drawing on the ancient Greek myth of Sisyphus — condemned to roll a boulder up a hill for eternity, only to watch it roll back down — Camus argues that the absurd condition of human existence need not lead to despair. Instead, he invites us to imagine Sisyphus happy, embracing the struggle itself as a form of defiance and freedom.

Translated by Justin O'Brien, this Vintage International edition is the definitive English translation of Camus's essential philosophical work.
