Albert Camus: Solitude and Solidarity
"Humanity's friend, humanity's critic: 50 years after his death, Albert Camus's work is more relevant than ever."  —Tagesspiegel, Berlin"Above all, what you can learn from Camus is attitude: his putting up with depressing times, his resistance to exploitation, destruction and hatred over a long time. This attitude is much more important today, bearing in mind the catastrophic state of many areas such as the economy, the arms industry and the environemnt, than it was in Camus' time. . . . Camus could be helpful in times when what matters is not to give up, despite a future that seems hopeless; not to resign, but to continue to resist."  —Günter Grass, Nobel Prize-winning author"The morning after a great historical crisis, you feel as sad and sick as after a heavy night. But there is no aspirin for historical hangovers."  —Albert Camus"This fascinating and lavishly illustrated album of Camus' photographs, manuscripts, letters, and documents (some of them unpublished), edited by his daughter and literary executor, will prove precious to his readers."—Booklist"[A] handsome coffee-table book"  —Library Journal"A remarkable effort at recapturing—or, for many readers, simply capturing for the first time—a man whose life and work matter as greatly today as they did in his own era."  —Los Angeles Review of Books  "A riveting tome"  —Our Man in Boston blog
