Resistance Rebellion and Death

<b>NOBEL PRIZE WINNER - Twenty-three political essays that focus on the victims of history from the fallen <i>maquis</i> of the French Resistance to the casualties of the Cold War.<br></b><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. <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>.
