A human prism is the lens that Camus offers to go through any of his stories. Talented to what I would call a sort of luminous darkness he always find those cracks on the wall in the midst of despair. The normality of the terrible functions as a kind of vindication and the uncanny offers exclusive hints to the otherwise common and unattractive. These stories celebrate humanity in the brink of abyss. They are existentialist in their own way and even abominable but still have a call to action. They give a voice to the voiceless and unveils their lack of hope. We may recognize the last register of Camus along this book, the same that he harps on in the posthumous The First Man, considered a sort of biography of his own life. Enjoyable and persistent.

Albert Camus is the author of a number of best-selling and highly influential works, all of which are published by Penguin. They include THE FALL, THE PLAGUE and THE OUTSIDER. He is remembered as one of the few writers to have shaped the intellectual climate of post-war France, but beyond that, his fame has been international.
