RESISTANCE, REBELLION,

AND DEATH

By Albert Camus

Translated from the French and with an Introduction by

Justin O’Brien

New York: Alfred A. Knoff: 1969

INTRODUCTION

It was as much for the positive stand Albert Camus took on the issues of the day as for his creative writing – or rather it was for the combination of the two – that he was awarded the Nobel Prize in 1957 at the early age of forty-three. Because, in everything he wrote, he spoke to us of our problems and in our language, without raising his voice or indulging in our language, without raising his voice or indulging in oratory, he illuminated, as the Nobel citation stated, “the problems of the human conscience in our time”. Over and above intellectual or political leadership, he provided the moral guidance the postwar generation needed. By remaining flagrantly independent, he could speak out both against the Russian slave-labor camps and against U.S. support of Franco’s Spain. By overcoming the immature nihilism and despair the he saw as poisoning our century, he emerged as the staunch defender of our positive moral values and of “those silent men who, throughout the world, endure the life that has been made for them”.
