Synopsis "The Rebel: An Essay on man in Revolt (Vintage International) (in English)"

By one of the most profoundly influential thinkers of our century, The Rebel is a classic essay on revolution. For Albert Camus, the urge to revolt is one of the "essential dimensions" of human nature, manifested in man's timeless Promethean struggle against the conditions of his existence, as well as the popular uprisings against established orders throughout history. And yet, with an eye toward the French Revolution and its regicides and deicides, he shows how inevitably the course of revolution leads to tyranny. As old regimes throughout the world collapse, The Rebel resonates as an ardent, eloquent, and supremely rational voice of conscience for our tumultuous times. Translated from the French by Anthony Bower.

Albert Camus (Mondovi hoy Dréan, Argelia francesa, 7 de noviembre de 1913-Villeblevin, Francia, 4 de enero de 1960) fue un novelista, ensayista, dramaturgo, filósofo y periodista francés nacido en la Argelia francesa. Su pensamiento se desarrolla bajo el influjo de los razonamientos filosóficos de Schopenhauer, Nietzsche y el existencialismo alemán.

Se le ha atribuido la conformación del pensamiento filosófico conocido como absurdismo, si bien en su texto «El enigma» el propio Camus reniega de la etiqueta de «profeta del absurdo». Se le ha asociado frecuentemente con el existencialismo, aunque Camus siempre se consideró ajeno a él.2​ Pese a su alejamiento consciente con respecto al nihilismo, rescata de él la idea de libertad individual.

Formó parte de la resistencia francesa durante la ocupación alemana, y se relacionó con los movimientos libertarios de la posguerra. En 1957 se le concedió el Premio Nobel de Literatura por «el conjunto de una obra que pone de relieve los problemas que se plantean en la conciencia de los hombres de la actualidad».
