Small octavo original publisher's stiff wrappers with titles in red and black. Presentation copy inscribed by the author on the half title page "a M. Claude Leslise en sirene hommage Albert Camus."

Housed in a custom quarter red levant and patterned paper slip case and chemise by P. Goy & C. Vilaine. Rare and desirable. This collection of six short stories covers the whole variety of existentialism or absurdism as Camus himself insisted his philosophical ideas be called. The six works collected in this volume include: The Adulterous Woman The Renegade of a Confused Spirit The Silent Man The Guest Jonas or the Artist at Work and The Growing Stone. The final story most clearly manifests Camus' existential ideals with a protagonist who actively shapes his life in spite of receiving a deep insight into the absurdity of the world and acting morally nevertheless.

A bit of brownspotting and a tiny tear to front wrapper. A bit of wear to lower capital and minor wear to extremities. All in all a fine copy. Été à Alger: Pp. 87-91. 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
1946Best.-Nr. 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
