书籍简介

《加缪手记：第二卷》是作者自1942年1月至1951年3月的手记，在其中他记录了所思所想、读书笔记、作品雏形、写作构思等，且不乏发人深省的哲学思考。读者可以在手记中看到加缪如何面对《局外人》所遭逢的社会议论，《反抗者》出版后引起的激烈笔战，这期间加缪也完成了《西西弗斯神话》《鼠疫》等重要作品，堪称加缪人生的精华时期。

本手记大致可分为三类：

第一类属于哲学思索、片段的描写，如对上帝和无神论、死亡、人民的苦难、“永恒轮回”等的反思与批判。

第二类为读书心得，如对《奥德赛》、司汤达、海涅、福楼拜、孟德斯鸠、纪德等大师的讨论。

第三类大部分是未正式发表的作品。

From 1935 until his death, Albert Camus kept a series of notebooks to sketch out ideas for future works, record snatches of conversations and excerpts from books he was reading, and jot down his reflections on death and the horror of war, his feelings about women and loneliness and art, and his appreciations for the Algerian sun and sea. These three volumes, now available together for the first time in paperback, include all entries made from the time when Camus was still completely unknown in Europe, until he was killed in an automobile accident in 1960, at the height of his creative powers. In 1957 he had been awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature.

A spiritual and intellectual autobiography, Camus' Notebooks are invariably more concerned with what he felt than with what he did. It is intriguing for the reader to watch him seize and develop certain themes and ideas, discard others that at first seemed promising, and explore different types of experience. Although the Notebooks may have served Camus as a practice ground, the prose is of superior quality, which makes a short spontaneous vignette or a moment of sensuous beauty quickly captured on the page a small work of art.

作者简介

阿尔贝·加缪（Albert Camus），1913年生于北非阿尔及利亚，1960年于法国因车祸骤逝。法国声名卓著的小说家、散文家和剧作家，“存在主义”文学的大师，“荒诞哲学”的代表人物。1957年“因为他的重要文学创作以明彻的认真态度阐明了我们这个时代人类良知的问题”而获诺贝尔文学奖，是除吉卜林外最年轻的诺贝尔文学奖获得者。

加缪在他的小说、戏剧、随笔和论著中深刻地揭示出人在异于自身的世界中的孤独、个体的异化，以及罪恶和死亡的不可避免，但他在揭示出世界的荒诞的同时却并不因此而绝望和颓丧，而是主张要在荒诞中奋起反抗，在绝望中坚持真理和正义。他直面惨淡人生的勇气，“知其不可而为之”的无畏精神使他在第二次世界大战之后获得了世界性的声誉，成为他那一代人的代言人和下一代人的精神导师。

Albert Camus was born in Mondovi, Algeria, in 1913. In occupied France in 1942 he published The Myth of Sisyphus and The Stranger, a philosophical essay and a novel which first brought him to the attention of intellectual circles. Among his other major writings are the essay The Rebel, three widely praised works of fiction, The Plague, The Fall, and Exile and the Kingdom, and his plays.
