«El mito de Sísifo» is the philosophical essay by Albert Camus, published by Alianza Editorial in paperback (179 pages, in Spanish).
In this essay, Camus develops the philosophy of the absurd: human beings seek meaning in a universe that offers no answers, and from that confrontation arises rebellion. Through the figure of Sisyphus, condemned to push a rock eternally, he reflects on living without consolation or transcendent hope. The work closes with an appendix on Franz Kafka.
Work originally published in 1942; this 1981 edition, within the Biblioteca Camus collection of El Libro de Bolsillo, includes a translation by Esther Benítez Eiroa.
Aimed at readers interested in twentieth-century philosophy and existentialism.
Albert Camus was a French philosopher, writer, and political activist. He was the recipient of the 1957 Nobel Prize in Literature at the age of 44, the second-youngest recipient in history, and the first laureate in literature born in Africa. His works include The Stranger, The Plague, The Myth of Sisyphus, The Fall and The Rebel.
