Camus's Masterpieces (All Four Volumes)

Nobel Prize-winning master Camus's debut novel + classic masterpiece! Camus's observation of the absurd world and thoughts on the meaning of life originated from his debut novel "The Happy Death", and are in-depth and complete in "The Stranger", "The Plague" and "The Myth of Sisyphus"! This time I thoroughly understood Camus! "The Outsider" Meursault, a clerk in the company, was accused of murder in court, but was eventually sentenced to death because he "did not cry when his mother was buried." In our society, anyone who does not cry at his mother's funeral is liable to death. ——Camus "Happy Death" Mersault, a clerk in the company, does boring work day after day and leads an unchanging life. He is lonely, nihilistic, and has no interest in the entire world. After orchestrating a murder, he gained vast wealth and was able to escape his eight-hour day job, becoming rich and free. Start traveling and traveling around... Can you be happy with money? Can you be happy if you have time? Can you be happy with a lover and love? How can we truly feel self-satisfaction and happiness? Mersault continued to think about these questions during his journey and explore the joy of living... "Happy Death" is the debut novel written by Nobel Prize winner Camus at the age of 24. Camus used his own real experience and "absurdity" experience as material to create the protagonist Mersault, which was his initial exploration of the meaning of life. The origin and answer of the questions that Camus has been thinking about throughout his life can be found in "The Happy Death"! "Plague" A plague swept through an ordinary small town unexpectedly. The increasing death toll broke the ordinary lives of the citizens: panic spread, rumors spread wildly, and chaos replaced calm as daily life... But there is a group of people in this city who spontaneously take on the responsibility of treating plague patients and maintaining urban order. They come from all walks of life: doctors, civil servants, journalists, priests, etc. They are not shining heroes. They are just a bunch of ordinary people. "The Plague", first published in 1947, describes this sudden epidemic and the story of how ordinary people fought against it. It presents many attitudes of human beings in resisting suffering and death. It affirms the power of human beings to face absurdity and fight against fate, and gives modern people important enlightenment about survival. "The Myth of Sisyphus" I used to feel that life was meaningless, until Sisyphus told me the true meaning of life! Why is life so tiring? What is the purpose of living day after day? What is the meaning of life? Camus said: Life is meaningless, so it is more worth living! Sisyphus in Greek mythology kept pushing the boulder to the top of the mountain, and the boulder rolled back down again. This became a symbol of human life in an essay by Camus. However, according to Camus's explanation, the struggle of pushing the stone up the mountain is enough to enrich a human heart, so Sisyphus is happy. For Camus, the essential question is not whether life is worth living, but how to live with the inherent pain. ——1957 Nobel Prize in Literature Award Speech "The Myth of Sisyphus" was first published in 1942. It is a comprehensive reflection on the meaning of life by Nobel Prize winner Camus.
