Le Mythe de Sisyphe, Paperback

European Schoolbooks Limited, United Kingdom, 1985. Paperback. The concept of the absurd and the relationship between the absurd and suicide are the subject of this essay. Once recognized the divorce between the reasonable desire of understanding and happiness and the world of silence, the man he may feel that life is worth living? This is the fundamental question of philosophy. But if the absurd is clear to me, I have to keep a clear effort and accept living the lifestyle. My revolt, my freedom, my passion will be consequences. Insured die entirely, but refusing death, delivered from supernatural hope that bound him, the man will be able to know the passion to live in a world made its indifference and its perishable beauty. Images of Don Juan, the actor, the adventurer illustrate freedom and lucid wisdom of the absurd man. But creation - once admitted that she may not be - is for him the best chance to keep his conscience awakened vibrant images without reason in the world. The labor of Sisyphus who despises the gods, love life and hate death, figure the human condition. But the struggle to the heights carries its reward in itself. One must imagine Sisyphus happy.
