内容简介

A collection that includes some of Camus' most brilliant political writing

This volume contains some of Camus' most powerful political writing as he reflects on moral responsibility and the role of the artist in the world. 'Letters to a German Friend' was Camus' first wartime intervention, written in 1943 in order 'to make our battle more effective'. 'Reflections on the Guillotine' is his impassioned polemic against the death penalty. And in his Nobel speeches, Camus argues against 'Art for art's sake' and brilliantly sets out his vision of the artist's responsibilities.

选集包括加缪杰出的政治著作

这本书包含了加缪的一些最有力的政治著作，因为他反思了道德责任和艺术家在世界上的角色。“给德国朋友的信”是加缪在战时的第一次干预，写于1943年，目的是“使我们的战斗更加有效”。“对断头台的反思”是他对死刑充满热情的辩论。在他的诺贝尔奖演说中，加缪反对“为艺术而艺术”，并出色地阐述了他对艺术家责任的看法。

作者简介

Albert Camus (1913-1960) grew up in a working-class neig*bourhood in Algiers. He studied philosophy at the University of Algiers, and became a journalist. His most important works include The Outsider, The Myth of Sisyphus, The Plague and The Fall. After the occupation of France by the Germans in 1941, Camus became one of the intellectual leaders of the Resistance movement. He was killed in a road accident, and his last unfinished novel, The First Man, appeared posthumously.

Justin O'Brien was the Blanche W. Knopf Professor of French Literature at Columbia University and renowed translator of Andre Gide and Albert Camus, both of whom were his intimate friends.
