El exilio y el reino
by Albert Camus
Publicado en el mismo año en que le fue concedido a su autor el Premio Nobel de Literatura (1957), EL EXILIO Y EL REINO reúne seis relatos de Albert Camus (1913-1960) regidos por un mismo propósito ético y estético. La fraternidad humana, la pregunta sobre el sentido de la existencia y la añoranza de un universo moral que sirva de protección frente al nihilismo y la infelicidad constituyen el trasfondo de los diferentes argumentos. Los personajes de los relatos viven diversos tipos de exilio, desde el extrañamiento físico y social («El renegado o un espíritu confuso», «El huésped», «La piedra que crece») hasta ese exilio personal o interior que evidencia mejor lo absurdo de la condición humana («La mujer adúltera», «Los mudos», «Jonas o el artista trabajando»). También en esta Biblioteca de autor: «El extranjero» (BA 0657), «Los justos» (BA 0658), «Calígula» (BA 0659), «El mito de Sísifo» (BA 0660), «La caída» (BA 0661).

In 1949, Camus founded the Group for International Liaisons within the Revolutionary Union Movement, which was a group opposed to some tendencies of the surrealistic movement of André Breton. Camus was the second-youngest recipient of the Nobel Prize for Literature - after Rudyard Kipling - when he became the first African-born writer to receive the award. He is the shortest-lived of any literature laureate to date, having died in an automobile accident just over two years after receiving the award. He is often cited as a proponent of existentialism, the philosophy that he was associated with during his own lifetime, but Camus himself rejected this particular label. 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…"
