Camus started preparing this second volume in 1953 which brings togther articles interviews polemical letters etc. dealing with world affairs since 1948 the cut-off point of the first volume. Actuelles II covers the troubling moments of the Cold War from the Prague coup 1948 to Stalin's death 1953 see Vanney. In this volume he summed his hopes in a brief preface: "The new world true liberation was not yet just around the corner but nihilism was a thing of the past and creation always possible now became more than ever necessary. A long section of Actuelles II looked backward . But a final section entitled 'Création et Liberté' was an attempt to demonstrate the continuing need for art. 'It's not enough to criticize one's times one must also try to give them a form and a future.'" Lottman: 521 Camus completed the reading of the proofs in Thonon-les-Bains "at the last moment adding the speech he had recently delivered at Saint Etienne". This speech was delivered in May 1953 at the Labor Exchange where a group of labor organizations had called a meeting. Camus "denounced threats to freedom in Western societies as well as Eastern ones pleaded for freedom as the one good the one heritage of the great revolutionary conquests of two centuries." Lottman: 522 Actuelles II is also strongly tied to his book-long essay L'homme révolté EN: The Rebel published in 1951. According to Vanney "The book's significance can be gauged if necessary by the sheer volume of commentary and criticism it generated from both the right and the left." own translation. In 1952 Camus had written a defense of his work but decided not to publish it and instead prepared the current volume of which seven out of sixteen texts revisit his controversial book. "Since Camus had decided against publishing Défense de L’Homme révolt written in the wake of these polemics reading them becomes essential to understanding the nuances and interpretations he brings to his essay. Apart from an interview with Pierre Berger they are presented in epistolary form and therefore should be read alongside the criticisms that prompted them." own translation see Vanney After WWII Albert Camus 1913-1960 became as a novelist and playwright moralist and political theorist "the spokesman of his own generation and the mentor of the next not only in France but also in Europe and eventually the world" Cruickshank 2026. Jean Ballard 1893-1973 was a French actor poet and editor. Between 1925-66 he ran the publisher Les Cahiers du Sud “The Southern Notebooks”. Sources and further reading: Aronson Ronald.

Le chevalier d'Olmedo. comédie dramatique en trios journées. Texte francais d' Albert Camus. - PRESENTATION-COPY

1957réf. 63532Paris Gallimard 1957. 8vo. Bound uncut with the original printed wrappers in an exquisite full red morrocco binding with quadruple gilt lines over boards and spie and gilt lettering to spine bound by Henning Jensen and gilt by Hagel Olsen. Top edge red. Gilt super ex libris to inside of front board. A splendid near mint copy in a wonderful elegant binding. First edition - nr. 3089 out of 3265 numbered copies on alfa Libert preceded by 65 copies on Lafuma Navarre - wonderful presentation-copy from Camus to Jean Marchat of Camus' translation of an early 17th century historical play by the Spanish dramatist Lope de Vega 1562-1635 Le chevalier d'Olmedo ES: El caballero de Olmedo; EN: The Knight from Olmedo. "For his historical plays Vega ransacked the medieval chronicle the romancero and popular legend and song for heroic themes chosen for the most part as throwing into relief some aspect either of the national character or of that social solidarity on which contemporary Spain’s greatness rested. The conception of the crown as fount of justice and bulwark of the humble against oppression inspires some of his finest plays. Peribáñez y el comendador de Ocaña Peribáñez and the Commander of Ocaña El mejor alcalde el rey The King the Greatest Alcalde and Fuente Ovejuna All Citizens Are Soldiers are still memorable and highly dramatic vindications of the inalienable rights of the individual as is El caballero de Olmedo The Knight from Olmedo on a more exalted social plane." see britannica.com Camus selected this play along with his own Caligula for the Festival D'Angers – founded in 1950 and still existing today as Festival D'Anjou – of which he was together with Jean Marchat artistic director in 1953 where he had translated the play La dévotion de la croix EN: Devotion to the Cross by Calderon de la Barca who succeeded de Vega. Camus returned as artistic director again in 1957: "For the month of June 1957 Camus had once more agreed to direct plays at the Festival D'Angers for the Théâtre des Mathurins. He told Maria Casarès that it was sheer baraka – Arabic for 'divine favor' but that baraka also meant seventy rehearsals . He had gone over it line by line with Maria Casarès and he was to spend the final weeks of that winter of 1957 polishing it" Lottman: 595. Starring the play were "Michel Herbault in the title role the knight who is murdered by his treacherous rival Don Rodrigo played by Jorris; Jean-Pierre Marielle; and Dominique Blanchar." Lottman: 597 After WWII Albert Camus 1913-1960 became as a novelist and playwright moralist and political theorist "the spokesman of his own generation and the mentor of the next not only in France but also in Europe and eventually the world" Cruickshank 2026.Jean Marchat 1902-1966 was a French actor and stage director who had starred in the festival in 1953 in the Calderón play. Together with marcel Herrand he was associate director of the Théâtre des Mathurins between 1939–1953.

La dévotion de la croix. piece en trois journées. Texte francais d'Albert Camus. - PRESENTATION-COPY FROM CAMUS

1953réf. 63531Paris Gallimard 1953. 8vo. Bound uncut with the original printed wrappers in an exquisite full red morrocco binding with quadruple gilt lines over boards and spie and gilt lettering to spine bound by Henning Jensen and gilt by Hagel Olsen. Top edge red. Gilt super ex libris to inside of front board. A splendid near min copy in a wonderful elegant binding. 169 4. First edition - nr. 3140 out of 3265 numbered copies on alfama Marais preceded by 65 copies on Lafuma Navarre - signed presentation-copy from Camus of his translation of an early 17th century historical play by the Spanish dramatist Pedro Calderón de la Barca 1600-1681 La dévotion de la croix ES: La devoción de la cruz; EN: Devotion to the Cross. "A keynote of Calderon’s tragic view of life is his deep-seated realization that a man can be responsible through his own wrongdoing for the wrongdoing of another. This realization probably derives from Calderón’s own family experience. In La devoción de la cruz c. 1625; Devotion to the Cross . the heart of the tragedy lies in the fact that the greatest sinner is also the most sinned against—in that others before he was born had begun to dig his grave" Parker 2026. The play was translated for the Festival D'Angers – founded in 1950 and still existing today as Festival D'Anjou – of which he was an artistic director in 1953 and again in 1957 where he selected another Spanish play The Knight from Olmedo by Lope de Vega the predecessor of Calderon. Camus translated this particular piece upon the request of the actor Marcel Herrand 1897-1953 who passed away before the festival took place see foreword written by Camus p. 11. The stark tradegy was performed in June 1953 starring Maria Casarès who had assisted Camus in the translation Serge Reggiani Paul Oettly and Jean Marchat Lottman: 524-25 and was a success: "Camus' adaptations received national press attention and locally the press would say that the Calderón work was so perfectly performed it could never again be played on an ordinary theater stage." Lottman: 525After WWII Albert Camus 1913-1960 became as a novelist and playwright moralist and political theorist "the spokesman of his own generation and the mentor of the next not only in France but also in Europe and eventually the world" Cruickshank 2026. The presentation-inscription reads: "à Sylvester pour son salut et avec la fidèle et cordiale pensée d'Albert Camus". Sources and further reading: Aronson Ronald. Winter 2022 Edition. Albert Camus.
