The Myth of Sisyphus (classic Translation)

About This Novel
"The Myth of Sisyphus" is one of the representative works of Camus, the French literary master of absurd existential philosophy. It is Camus' in-depth and concentrated investigation and thorough and clear explanation of the philosophy of absurdity. Sisyphus, a Greek mythological figure who pushes rocks up mountains and performs never-ending hard labor, is undoubtedly a symbol of the absurdity of human existence; but at the same time, he is also a sign that human beings do not despair or despair, but rise up to resist in the midst of absurdity, and do not hesitate to fight against absurd fate to the end. Therefore, "The Myth of Sisyphus" is not so much a tragic self-portrait of the human condition as it is a victory song of liberal humanism. It constitutes a style that is both pathos and sublime. In the entire field of human culture and art, perhaps only Beethoven's "Symphony of Destiny" can rival it in taste.
