This man. Fiction and non-fiction. Where do I start?

>> No.674312

The Myth of Sisyphus

Fiction.

Listen to the previous advices.

>> No.674326

The Stranger was great, fast and easy to read. It certainly made an impression.

The Plague changed the way I view the world, and is easily in my top books of all time.

The Myth of Sisyphus is something I'm working through now. While interesting, it's a bit more difficult to read.

I suggest starting with The Stranger as you'll read it in a day, but I enjoyed The Plague more.

Happy Death had more of what I was looking for than Stranger, oddly.

Frenchfag here; I read L'étranger (the stranger) when I was fourteen as part of my curriculum. Start there because it's his greatest work.

I read La Peste (the plague) a little while later; interesting exploration of the human condition, but quite dry and slow IMO. Nevertheless it's probably his second most 'known' work.

I haven't read anything else by him, but I hear Caligula is good.

Je suis Québecois, de Montréal; Donc, ça se peut bien que le programme d'études soit complètement différent. J'ai lu: L'étranger, La Nausée et 99 Francs au secondaire (entre autre) ;)

Sa plume est très ordinaire. Il est très surrestimé. On ne parle de lui que pour ces écarts de conduite et sa vie de fêtard.

Start with The Stranger.

After I read that I read The Fall, then The Plague, and I just bought Exile and The Kingdom.

Truth is... I'm sort of afraid to read Myth of Sisyphus.

>> No.674919

>>674675

Why?

>> No.674924

The Stranger is his magnum opus.

I personally didn't find it amazing, but it answers your question.

I think THE PLAGUE is an astonishing piece of work.

Agreed. I have yet to read a lot of others by Camus, though, so I'm pretty ignorant of his work.

oh no more disinformation about Albert Camus. What is it about libertards that makes them want to have him as one of theirs?

They must all fancy him or something ...

Why do opposing views make you butthurt? You're supposed to welcome and encourage them not completely ignore them like the unthinking parrot you really are.
