«The Rebel» is Albert Camus's philosophical essay, published by Penguin Classics in paperback (272 pages, in English).
Albert Camus analyses rebellion as a response to the absurd and its historical drift: how revolt, in the name of freedom, can end up justifying crime and leading to police states and totalitarian regimes. The essay traverses the metaphysics of rebellion, historical nihilism and artistic rebellion, and poses the limits of any revolution in search of values.
Work originally published in French as «L'Homme révolté» in 1951. This English edition includes a foreword by Herbert Read.
Aimed at readers of philosophy and those studying political thought and twentieth-century history.
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.
