'To create today means to create dangerously' This new collection
contains some of Camus' most brilliant political writing as he reflects
on moral responsibility and the role of the artist in the world. Letters
to a German Friend, written and published underground during the Nazi
occupation of France, was born out of Camus' experience in the
Resistance and explores what it truly means to love your country.
Reflections on the Guillotine, his impassioned polemic against the death
penalty, became a touchstone for the movement to abolish capital
punishment, while in his Nobel speeches Camus argues that the artist
must engage with dangerous times.
Together these powerful pieces
express Camus' mistrust of rigid ideologies, and his commitment to
human solidarity. 'Probably no European writer of his time left so deep a
mark on the imagination' Conor Cruise O'Brien
