One of the most influential works of this century, The Myth of Sisyphus—featured here in a stand-alone edition—is a crucial exposition of existentialist thought. Influenced by works such as Don Juan and the novels of Kafka, these essays begin with a meditation on suicide—the question of living or not living in a universe devoid of order or meaning. With lyric eloquence, Albert Camus brilliantly posits a way out of despair, reaffirming the value of personal existence, and the possibility of life lived with dignity and authenticity. Review: For those who can read mindfully - Ofcourse, suitable for students of philosophy and psychology. I do not belong to that cohort. These days, not many want and wish to slow down and ponder about the purpose of Life. Most are afraid or engrossed in the mundane world. Camus's masterpiece is a bit too intricate for a breezy read. But if you are not scared of reading about the purposelessness of Life and seek insights into transcending that, this is not for you. If you do read, read slowly with mindful engagement.

Loved it
This book was a fascinating read. I believe that I need to read it multiple times to fully understand it. Anyways, I found it interesting how Camus saw life at that point of his life. I wonder if his point of view changed throughout the years.
