The Stranger – The Myth of Sisyphus Author: Albert Camus Publisher: Época Collection: New Talents Subject: Fiction, Philosophy Format: Paperback Pages: 244 Weight: 247 g Dimensions: 21 cm x 14 cm Code: 9786078473519 In The Stranger, Albert Camus describes the lack of values in the modern world. He imbues Meursault, the protagonist, with a sense of imbalance and disillusionment with life, which leads him to become increasingly insensitive and disinterested in the mundane and the boredom of daily life. From the very first sentences, he immerses us in his philosophy of the absurd, which, nevertheless, feels tragically familiar, as it is a reflection of modern man. And in contrast to the idea that man is linked to his fellow man through his feelings, and that human life is transcendent and we must strive to develop all our capacities, the author confronts us with a character who not only questions these foundations but rejects them entirely. Sisyphus's punishment, imposed by the gods, consisted of pushing a rock to the top of a mountain, from where the stone would roll back down, due to its own weight, and thus he would have to begin again. The Myth of Sisyphus is a brief but profound philosophical essay in which Albert Camus uses the Greek character and his divine punishment as an element of reflection, presenting it as a metaphor for the reality of human existence. The richness and naturalness with which Camus presents his reasoning are very convincing, whether we agree with his way of thinking or not.
