书籍简介

有可能快乐地死去吗?这是加缪惊人的早期小说的核心问题，这部小说在他死后出版，并被视为一件重要的文学事件。

它讲述了一个年轻的阿尔及利亚人莫尔索的故事，他违fan社会规则，犯下谋杀罪，逃避惩罚，然后尝试不同的生活方式，最后以一个快乐的人死去。在很多方面，《快乐的死亡》是对《局外人》的引人入胜的第一幅素描，但它也可以被视为一幅坦率的自画像，它描绘了加缪对自己年轻时的回忆、旅行和早年的关系。书中充满了对童年时阳光普照的阿尔及尔的抒情描写——在那里，莫尔索最终找到了安宁，“没有愤怒、没有仇恨、没有遗憾”地死去。

Is it possible to die a happy death?This is the central question of Camus's astonishing early novel, published posthumously and greeted as a major literary event. It tells the story of a young Algerian, Mersault, who defies society's rules by committing a murder and escaping punishment, then experimenting with different ways of life and finally dying a happy man. In many ways A Happy Death is a fascinating first sketch for The Outsider, but it can also be seen as a candid self-portrait, drawing on Camus's memories of his youth, travels and early relationships. It is infused with lyrical descriptions of the sun-drenched Algiers of his childhood - the place where, eventually, Mersault is able to find peace and die 'without anger, without hatred, without regret'.

Born in Algeria in 1913, Albert Camus published The Stranger-- now one of the most widely read novels of this century-- in 1942. Celebrated in intellectual circles, Camus was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1957. On January 4, 1960, he was killed in a car accident.His childhood was poor, although not unhappy. He studied philosophy at the University of Algiers, and became a journalist as well as organizing the Theatre de l'equipe, a young avant-garde dramatic group. His early essays were collected in L'Envers et l'endroit (The Wrong Side and the Right Side) and Noces (Nuptials). He went to Paris, where he worked on the newspaper Paris Soir before returning to Algeria. His play, Caligula, appeared in 1939. His first two important books, L'Etranger (The Outsider) and the long essay Le Mythe de Sisyphe (The Myth of Sisyphus), were published when he returned to Paris. After the occupation of France by the Germans in 1941, Camus became one of the intellectual leaders of the Resistance movement. He edited and contributed to the underground newspaper Combat, which he had helped to found. After the war he devoted himself to writing and established an international reputation with such books as La.
