1948réf. 137545Paris: Gallimard 1948. First edition early printing of Camus' fourth play a political allegory about resistance to the plague of authoritarian rule. Octavo original wrappers. 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
1950réf. 137191Paris: 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.

1954réf. 135389New York: Alfred A. Knopf 1954. First edition of the Nobel Prize-winning author's classic work. Octavo original cloth. Near fine in a very good dust jacket. With an introduction by Sir Herbert Read. Translated from the French by Anthony Bower. 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. Alfred A. Knopf hardcover

It remains one of the classic works of the twentieth century. Alfred A. Knopf hardcover
