Entire issue: 16 -advertisements pp. pp. 65-128 16 -advertisements pp. The very rare first printing of one of Camus' earliest literary productions namely the first part of his famous "Été à Alger" which was printed later the same year in his second book "Noces" for which there is an advertisement on the inside of the back wrapper in the second part of the very rare Algerian review "Rivages".In all only two numbers of "Rivages" appeared as it was interrupted due to the censorship at the beginning of the war. It was edited by Camus together with Gabriel Audisio René-Jean Clot Jacques Heurgon and Jean Hytier and was published by Edmond Charlot in Algiers. The aim of the review was to provide to the rest of the world with an insight in to the rich cultural life of the Mediterranean. When "Été à Alger" originally appeared in "Rivages" Camus had only published one book ""L'Énvers et l'Endroit" 1937. Later in 1939 his second book "Noces" which is announced in the present volume of "Rivages" appears. unknown
1946rif. 2405010Hamish Hamilton 1946. 1st UK 1st impression. Hardback. Near fine/Very good. The received wisdom is that our 'case-hardened' anti-hero Meursault is outside usual bourgeois notions of sensibility and emotion but this did not according to Sartre make Camus an existentialist a label the author himself also rejected. As an Algerian he was beyond the pale anyway the original stranger. First published in French in 1942 much adolescent angst has been expended since on this slim novella usually in Livre de Poche or Folio format. This version on the other hand is toute autre chose - a very handsome volume indeed with a superb cover by Edward Bawden. Given the strictures under which this was produced it's amazing to see it in such good condition today and it should be kept well away from any student bedroom. The book's boards are clean and good and just a little worn to top edge. Text block is fine with no foxing to this cheap war economy paper. The unclipped jacket has marginal losses to spine top and is slightly grubby verso. . Hamish Hamilton unknown

1955rif. 195244London: Hamish Hamilton 1955. One must imagine Sisyphus happy First edition in English including a new preface by Camus and collecting the title essay alongside "Summer in Algiers" "The Minotaur or The Stop in Oran" "Helen's Exile" "Return to Tipasa" and "The Artist and His Time". Camus's absurdist treatise on the philosophical problem of suicide was first published as Le Mythe de Sisyphe in 1942. Addressing his English readers Camus comments that "written fifteen years ago in 1940 amidst the French and European disaster this book declares that even within the limits of nihilism it is possible to find the means to proceed beyond nihilism. This book is in a certain sense the most personal of those I have published in English". It acts as a non-fictional companion to his novel L'Étranger 1942. The translator Justin O'Brien 1906-1968 was a professor of French at Columbia University who translated many works by Camus and certain works by Jean-Paul Sartre and André Gide including Gide's collected journals.
