Title Zhizn', kotoruju stoit prozhit'. Al'ber Kamju i poiski smysla
Description This is the first biography of Albert Camus in Russian. For its author, the American historian Robert Zaretsky, the life and works of Camus, which have become classics of world literature and existentialist philosophy, belong not so much to the past as to the prehistory of the present. “The nobility of the writer’s craft lies in the obligation to live not by lies and to fight oppression,” said the author of The Plague, The Myth of Sisyphus and The Stranger in his Nobel speech in 1957. Five themes of his hero, which especially preoccupied the French philosopher — absurdity, silence, measure, fidelity and rebellion — became for him a hieroglyph, a garden of forking paths and a system of navigation in this “ugly but astonishing world”. One may wander through them in search of the meaning of life, when what matters is, if not to find hope, then at least not to fall into despair. For Camus himself, this drifting led to the understanding that in the depths of winter there lived within him an “invincible summer”.
