Great price

Great book, arrived on time, perhaps less known than other books by Camus but still essential reading

This book was a fascinating read. I believe that I need to read it multiple times to fully understand it. Anyways, I found it interesting how Camus saw life at that point of his life. I wonder if his point of view changed throughout the years.

Excellent presentation of this great piece of literature.

Book came perfect condition. 5/5 As far as the book itself. 1/5 I don’t understand the hype. Felt like I was just reading words and had no idea what anything meant. End of the book has a nice lesson/ realization…but this I’ve already felt and isn’t too mind blowing.

Excelente. Muito satisfeito.

A formative read. I actually consider it a must read for anyone — Camus guides the reader towards finding a personal meaning for their life in a troubling world, using various philosophers in the existentialist canon to illustrate his points without being pretentious. You don’t need a philosophy degree to appreciate this, because Camus has great empathy for the reader. He explains their views and how absurdism overcomes the emptiness of the modern world, embracing, and encouraging us to embrace with him, the uncertainty of purpose. This is an accessible work that’s as clever as it is intense. Ultimately, this is about the triumph of the human spirit. The subject of su*cide is heavy, but so is life. I first read it in high school and continue to revisit it every couple of years as an adult.
