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.

1953rif. 75124Paris: Nrf 1953. Fine. Camus a Reluctant Molière! Nrf Paris 1953 12 x 19 cm relié First edition of Albert Camus's theatrical adaptation one of 65 numbered copies on pur fil paper constituting the deluxe issue. Bradel-style binding in bronze-coloured half box calf boards covered with abstract-patterned paper smooth spine original wrappers and spine preserved binding signed by Thomas Boichot. Les Esprits has its roots in Camus's early theatrical career: he first adapted the play in 1940 for the Théâtre de lÉquipe the company he directed in Algiers and it was performed in Algeria in 1946. He revised it for the Angers Festival in June 1953 personally taking over the productions prepared by Marcel Herrand who had died just days before the premiere. Alongside it Camus staged his translation of Calderón's La Dévotion à la croix. First published in 1579 Larivey's comedy freely adapted from Lorenzino de' Medici's Aridosia owes its lasting reputation to Molière. In his foreword Camus describes it as « le modèle que prit Molière pour écrire son Avare » containing « le fameux monologue que Molière modifia à peine ». Condensing the original five acts into three Camus brings out the play's commedia dell'arte spirit recognising in Larivey's characters « dauthentiques figures darlequins et de ruffians » merely disguised under different names. In doing so he follows in the footsteps of Jacques Copeau his theatrical mentor. Less of an anomaly than it might initially seem this early theatrical venture infused with exuberance and playful lightness could well have served as a perfect prelude to Camus's cycle of the Absurd had he chosen to acknowledge it as such!

1954rif. 58313Paris Gallimard 1954. Uncut in the original printed wrappers. A very nice copy housed in a beautiful brown half morocco box with gilt lettering to spine and gilt super ex-libris to front board. First edition Service de presse-copy i.e. review-copy "S.P" to bottom of title-page and to verso of back wrapper of Camus' magnificent and highly influential collection of essays entitled "Summer" inscribed to the famous critic of literature and drama the writer Guy Dumur 1921-1991: "à Guy Dumur/ l'une des/ ÉTÉs ÉTÉ being printed an L' crossed out in front with s added in Camus' hand/ son vieil et fidele ami/ Albert Camus" on half-title.The younger Guy Dumur was a close friend of Camus who hired him to work on "Combat" with him. It is reported that he had a great talent for discovering new talent. Since childhood he was extremely passionate about the theatre and came to work with all the great dramatic figures in Paris at the time. He is also famous for a number of well respected novels. The essays in "L'été" are devoted to Algiers and represent a very personal side of Camus who provides a marvelous poetic and humorous picture of the provincial simplicities of Oran and Algiers. For many Camus-devotees "L'Été" constitutes one of the most beloved works as it gives the feel of a certain intimacy with the author that few of his other works does. "In "Return to Tipasa" perhaps the most confessional essay in "Summer" which dates from a long trip to Algeria in December 1952 Camus issues his now famous testimony of survival - "In the depths of winter I finally learned that within me lay an invincible summer" Hawes: Camus A Romance 2009 pp. 181-82. unknown
