Le Mythe De Sisyphe Essai Sur Labsurde (Collection Folio / Essais) (French Edition)
by Albert Camus
"Il n'y a qu'un problème philosophique vraiment sérieux : c'est le suicide."

Il décrit le "mal de l'esprit" dont souffre l'époque actuelle : "L'absurde naît de la confrontation de l'appel humain avec le silence déraisonnable du monde."

In an interview in 1945, Camus rejected any ideological associations: "No, I am not an existentialist. Sartre and I are always surprised to see our names linked…"
