Description

The writings in this volume are all, in their own way, hymns to the physical world and the elemental pleasures of living. Through the story of a man condemned forever to roll a rock up a hill, The Myth of Sisyphus argues that, in a meaningless world, freedom and happiness can be gained through an awareness of pure existence. The other essays here include a lyrical evocation of the skies, shadows and silences of summer in Algiers, memories of street life in Oran and an exploration of beauty as our salvation.
