ref. 32092Paris Charlot 1er mai 1950. 1 vol. 165 x 255 mm de 79 p. et 2 f. Broché. . Édition originale. Texte dédié à Pierre Galindo. Un des 280 exemplaires sur vélin pur fil de Lana n° 10 - outre les 45 exemplaires sur le même papier réservés à l'auteur. . Paru chez Charlot son éditeur historique Le Minotaure est le premier des huit essais qui constitueront le recueil de L'Été. Le manuscrit princeps est daté de 1939 mais la publication a été ajournée pour de multiples raisons et il faudra attendre 1946 pour voir le texte paraître en revue grâce à Jean Amrouche l'ami kabyle d'Albert Camus installé à Tunis. Ce dernier anime depuis la fin de la guerre la revue L'Arche d'Edmond Charlot. Dans son numéro 13 de février 1946 Camus publie donc une première version de sa « plaquette sur Oran » Le Minotaure avec l'épigraphe suivante de Gide : « Je l'imaginais à la cour du roi Minos inquiet de savoir quelle sorte d'inavouable monstre peut bien être le Minotaure ; s'il est si affreux que cela ou s'il n'est pas charmant peut-être. » La version définitive en volume est prête en 1949 avec quelques corrections au texte et l'épigraphe de Gide remplacée par une autre de Hölderlin. Cette période marque la fin de la célèbre enseigne algéroise : Edmond Charlot fait faillite malgré les succès de librairie qui caractérisent sa période d'après-guerre et Le Minotaure est l'un des derniers titres de son catalogue en même temps qu'il marque la fin de la collaboration de Camus avec Charlot lequel lancera cependant une nouvelle maison d'édition à Alger Rivages.

ref. 8005Paris Gallimard 25 mars 1952. 1 vol. 270 x 200 mm non paginé. Cartonnage illustré de l'éditeur. . Édition originale. . Rien d'étonnant à ce qu'Albert Camus traduise la Dernière fleur du conteur et dessinateur américain James Thurber. En effet après la parution de L'Homme révolté et la fratricide polémique qui s'en suivit avec Jean-Paul Sartre Camus est meurtri dépressif et littérairement stérile ; il lui est donc plus facile de transcrire que d'écrire. Et puis la parabole du « Mark Twain du XXe siècle » est une illustration de l'absurdité humaine : bâtisseur et destructeur l'Homme ruine inexorablement son oeuvre civilisatrice par la guerre et le ravissant livre de Thurber est livre une merveilleuse parabole. Comment l'auteur du Mythe de Sisyphe serait-il resté insensible à ce message désabusé et détaché Sans compter qu'il fait écho à son article contemporain de la déclaration de la Seconde Guerre mondiale : « Nous savons qu'à une certaine extrémité du désespoir l'indifférence surgit et avec elle le sens et le goût de la fatalité. . Tant d'efforts pour la paix tant d'espoirs mis sur l'homme tant d'années de lutte ont abouti à cet effondrement et à ce nouveau carnage! . C'est bien là peut-être l'extrémité de la révolte que de perdre sa foi dans l'humanité des hommes. Peut-être après cette guerre les arbres refleuriront encore puisque le monde finit toujours par vaincre l'histoire. Mais ce jour-là je ne sais combien d'hommes seront là pour les voir. » Le Soir républicain 17 septembre 1939. Bel exemplaire. Paris, Gallimard, (25 mars) 1952. 1 vol. (270 x 200 mm) non paginé.

Book very good; jacket very good with light wear the price intact. Camus's masterpiece — the novel that made him a world figure and weighed heavily in the case for his 1957 Nobel Prize. La Peste first appeared in French from Gallimard in 1947 but Camus had been at work on it for years: his notebooks record early notes toward "the redeeming plague" in 1941 and he reworked the manuscript through the war much of it written in occupied southern France while his wife Francine was cut off from him in Algeria. He drew on the historical plague visitations at Oran and set the novel in the 1940s. SKU TO-2026-013 Knopf hardcover

Owner's name John Pocock on front end page else unmarked. 273 p. 22 cm. "By one of the most profoundly influential thinkers of our century The Rebel is a classic essay on revolution. For Albert Camus the urge to revolt is one of the 'essential dimensions' of human nature manifested in man's timeless Promethean struggle against the conditions of his existence as well as the popular uprisings against established orders throughout history. And yet with an eye toward the French Revolution and its regicides and deicides he shows how inevitably the course of revolution leads to tyranny. As old regimes throughout the world collapse The Rebel resonates as an ardent eloquent and supremely rational voice of conscience for our tumultuous times. Hamish Hamilton hardcover
