Brand new from publisher. 2018 Trade Paperback. 138 pp. The summation of the existentialist philosophy threaded throughout all his writing Albert Camus' The Myth of Sisyphus is translated by Justin O'Brien. In this profound and moving philosophical statement Camus poses the fundamental question: is life worth living If human existence holds no significance what can keep us from suicide As Camus argues if there is no God to give meaning to our lives humans must take on that purpose themselves. This is our 'absurd' task like Sisyphus forever rolling his rock up a hill as the inevitability of death constantly overshadows us. Written during the bleakest days of the Second World War The Myth of Sisyphus Le Mythe de Sisyphe argues for an acceptance of reality that encompasses revolt passion and above all liberty.

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

1946rif. BAWDENED001717Hamish Hamilton London. 1946. First UK edition. Octavo. pp ii 104. Translated from the French by Stuart Gilbert. Five-page Introduction by Cyril Connolly who also included the book in his 100 Key Books of the Modern Movement.WITH: Edward Bawden's original artwork for the front panel and spine of the dustwrapper. This measures approximately 11.5 x 9 cm and is painted in three colours with watercolour. The pencilled gridlines for scaling up to the published size are discernible beneath the image and the phrase ''Introduction by Cyril Connolly'' is not present. Mounted framed and glazed together with the front panel and spine of the printed dustwrapper. The frame which measures 36.5 x 31 cm was made by Bawden's usual framers in Essex and has their inkstamp on the rear. His pencilled signature can be seen on the backing board below the artwork. The printed version shows some details have been added to the face and that the lettering designed by Bawden has been tidied up a bit. In their 2008 book on Bawden Caroline Bacon and James McGregor state that the dustwrapper design uses linocut and collage whereas this early preparatory drawing clearly uses neither. It is possible that the frame was made for the 1988 exhibition at the V&A which celebrated Bawden's 85th birthday. He had worked as an official war artist in Iraq and Saudi Arabia which may have influenced his decision to depict the about-to-be-murdered Arab rather than the book's central character Meursault.Book: small patch of fading to head of spine; very small bumps to corners of covers; very good indeed in very good dustwrapper with some chipping and closed tears repaired on the reverse.
