CAMUS, ALBERT
La Peste The Plague
Paris: Gallimard 1947. First edition. Original wrappers. Fine. FIRST EDITION; A MAGNIFICENT COPY. "The longest and most ambitious of his fictions Albert Camus's novel The Plague is widely regarded as his masterpiece. It is certainly an artistic tour de force: a vividly realistic account of a harrowing imaginary event" Murray Sachs. “When The Plague was first published in 1947 the majority of French critics greeted it as an allegorical presentation not only of la condition humaine in general but also of the particular experience of the German occupation. Yet it would be an extremely limiting interpretation to see in The Plague only the description of a single historical experience. The struggle against plague and occupation are part of a wider struggle not only against the physical evil inherent in the world but also against the evil which men by their blindness and indifference as well as by their cruelty do to one another†Philip Thody. <br /> <br /> One of 215 copies this one numbered 199 on “vélin our film des Papeteries Lafuma-Navarre†with the paper thicker and much brighter than the more common issue which tends to have browned pages. Note: before the number the limitation page says "Exemplaire de Alfa Navarre" but this is an error printed on all the "Lafuma-Navarre" copies. <br /> <br /> CAMUS ALBERT. La Peste. Paris: Gallimard 1947. First edition. Octavo original wrappers with almost certainly original glassine; custom half-red morocco box. A beautiful fine copy; without question the nicest we've handled.

Le Minotaure ou La Halte d'Oran
Paris: Charlot 1950. Softcover. Near Fine/Near Fine. First edition limited issue. Tall octavo. Small chip at the spine crown very good in printed wrappers and unprinted glassine dust jacket. One of 120 copies reserved for the use of the author of a total edition of 1343 copies. This is copy number 848 on Rives paper. The copies numbered between 801 to 920 were the author's copies. Inscribed by the author: "a Nicole et Jean Marie/ avec la fidele affection/ de leur vieux camarade/ Albert Camus." "To Nicole and Jean Marie/ with the faithful affection/of their old comrade/ Albert Camus.".<br /> <br /> The recipients were almost certainly Nicole and Jean-Marie Domenach French intellectuals and friends of Camus albeit with some philosophical differences. Jean-Marie was a noted left wing Catholic thinker and while he and Camus were both vocal in protesting such activities as the French use of torture during the Algerian Civil War Domenach had considerably more sympathy for the socialist and communist governments of the time which Camus found repugnant. It is interesting to note the comma in the inscription as though the inclusion of Jean-Marie in the presentation was an afterthought or perhaps a necessity of politesse. Long after Camus had died Jean-Marie Domenach provided a preface to a book of his thinking Albert Camus and Christianity. Hope on Trial.<br /> <br /> The deluxe editions of this title turn up at auction with some regularity but we were unable to find any instance of one of the author's copies in the market and very few copies of this limited edition have ever turned up signed. A rarity and a notable association copy. Charlot unknown

Camus, Albert
Les Justes: Piece en Cinq Actes. The Just Assassins: A Play in Five Acts.
Paris: Gallimard 1950. First edition early printing of Camus' classic examination of the moral issues associated with murder and terrorism. Octavo original wrappers. Presentation copy inscribed by the author on the half-title page "A Jean de Bosschère crossing through "Les" an nom des que vous no sommes sens tes cordialement Albert Camus." The recipient Jean de Bosschère lived for most of the 20th century between London and France and illustrated his own works as well as the works of Oscar Wilde Charles Baudelaire and the classical works of Aristophanes Ovid Strato and Apuleius. He published his own works of poetry and in 1952 was awarded the Prix de la Méditerranée and in November the Mandat des Poètes. In near fine condition. Camus separated his work into three cycles. Each cycle consisted of a novel an essay and a play. The first was the cycle of the absurd consisting of L'Étranger Le Mythe de Sysiphe and Caligula. The second was the cycle of the revolt which included La Peste The Plague L'Homme révolté The Rebel and Les Justes The Just Assassins. The third the cycle of the love consisted of Nemesis. Each cycle was an examination of a theme with the use of a pagan myth and including biblical motifs. Camus began his work on the second cycle while he was in Algeria in the last months of 1942 just as the Germans were reaching North Africa. Based on the true story of a group of Russian Socialist-Revolutionaries who assassinated the Grand Duke Sergei Alexandrovich The Just Assassins explores the moral issues associated with murder and terrorism.

Presentation copy inscribed by the author on the half-title page "A Yvon Belaval en souvenir des Portiques d'Alger amicalement Albert Camus." The recipient French philosopher and literary scholar Yvon Belaval was a specialist in 18th century French philosopher Denis Diderot and edited an important edition of Diderot's works with fellow philosopher Jean Grenier one of Camus' most influential mentors to whom he dedicated the present volume. Camus became a student of Grenier's in Algiers and was strongly influenced by his work Les Îles published in 1933. He dedicated his first book to Grenier: L'envers et l'endroit published in Algeria by Edmond Charlot. L'homme révolté was also dedicated to Grenier and Camus provided the preface to the second edition of Les Îles in 1959. In near fine condition. A unique association copy. One of Camus' most important philosophical texts The Rebel examines both the metaphysical and historical development of rebellion and revolution in societies particularly in Western Europe. Examining both rebellion and revolt which may be seen as the same phenomenon in personal and social frames Camus examines several' countercultural' figures and movements from the history of Western thought and art noting the importance of each in the overall development of revolutionary thought and philosophy.

Presentation copy inscribed by the author on the half-title page "A Jean de Bosschère assiege sure anso mars insoumais L'Etat de Siege are Esperes a plus cordials Albert Camus." The recipient Jean de Bosschère lived for most of the 20th century between London and France and illustrated his own works as well as the works of Oscar Wilde Charles Baudelaire and the classical works of Aristophanes Ovid Strato and Apuleius. He published his own works of poetry and in 1952 was awarded the Prix de la Méditerranée and in November the Mandat des Poètes. In near fine condition. Written in 1948 The State of Siege—the original sense is closer to state of emergency—is a play in three acts presenting the arrival of plague personified by a young opportunist in sleepy Cadiz and the subsequent creation of a totalitarian regime through the manipulation of fear. In a piece written in 1948 in reply to criticisms from Gabriel Marcel Camus defended his decision to set the play in Spain and not in Eastern Europe citing the ongoing oppression in Spain France's collusion in it and the Catholic Church's abandonment of Spanish Christians. The piece was first performed in October 1948 and was initially received poorly by critics and public who had eagerly awaited the work but expected a dramatization of Camus's novel The Plague. While the two share a common background the treatments are entirely different in tone. The work has remained almost constantly in print in French and since 1958 in an English translation by Stuart Gilbert—in Caligula and Three Other Plays—with a foreword by Camus. Gallimard unknown
