1992 Softcover Very Good; Bottom corner creased, light wear to edges. 0679733841. 0.7 x 7.9 x 5.1 Inches; 320 pages; By one of the most profoundly influential thinkers of our century, The Rebel is a classic essay on revolution. For Albert Camus, the urge to revolt is one of the "essential dimensions" of human nature, manifested in man's timeless Promethean struggle against the conditions of his existence, as well as the popular uprisings against established orders throughout history. And yet, with an eye toward the French Revolution and its regicides and deicides, he shows how inevitably the course of revolution leads to tyranny. As old regimes throughout the world collapse, The Rebel resonates as an ardent, eloquent, and supremely rational voice of conscience for our tumultuous times. Translated from the French by Anthony Bower.

"--Atlantic \nRandy Herring, A reviewer, 06/11/2003 \nThe Noble Aims of Rebellion\n'The Rebel' is a meaty and insightful 'essay' with Camus telling his account of rebellion beginning in the mid-1750s and alluding to Greek mythology to answer the question stated below for 20th (now 21st) century living. Camus examines the writings of Sade, Nietzsche (and others) and Marxism to answer whether the conquest of revolutionary movements can change the 'totality of the world' and claim to the 'unity of life' through rebellion (97, 108), that is,
