«Le Mythe de Sisyphe» is a philosophical essay by Albert Camus, published by Gallimard in paperback (187 pages, in French).
Starting from the myth of Sisyphus, Camus raises the central question of the philosophy of the absurd: if life lacks ultimate meaning, is it worth living? Faced with the world's silence, he proposes accepting the absurd with lucidity and responding with rebellion, freedom and passion; the figure of Sisyphus pushing his rock symbolizes that resistance.
This edition, published on 21 February 1985, belongs to the Folio/Essais collection. The essay was originally published in 1942.
Suitable for philosophy students and readers who want an introduction to the thought of Albert Camus.
