<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>In the speech he gave upon accepting the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1957, Albert Camus said that a writer cannot serve today those who make history; he must serve those who are subject to it. And in these twenty-three political essays, he demonstrates his commitment to history's victims, from the fallen <i>maquis</i> of the French Resistance to the casualties of the Cold War. <p/><i>Resistance, Rebellion and Death</i> displays Camus' rigorous moral intelligence addressing issues that range from colonial warfare in Algeria to the social cancer of capital punishment. But this stirring book is above all a reflection on the problem of freedom, and, as such, belongs in the same tradition as the works that gave Camus his reputation as the conscience of our century: <i>The Stranger</i>, <i>The Rebel</i>, and <i>The Myth of Sisyphus</i>.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><i>Resistance, Rebellion, and Death</i> bears witness to the passionately scrupulous sense of responsibility which made Camus the kind of man and the kind of writer he was. <i>--The Christian Science Monitor</i><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Born in Algeria in 1913, <b>Albert Camus</b> published <i>The Stranger</i>--now one of the most widely read novels of this century--in 1942.
