Philosophy
NO EXIT AND THREE OTHER PLAYS
by Jean-Paul Sartre
No Exit, Sartre’s most well-known existentialist play, shows the great novelist and philosopher’s mastery over drama. No Exit is his unforgettable portrayal of hell; The Flies, a modern reworking of the Electra-Orestes story. Dirty Hands depicts a young intellectual torn between theory and praxis, and The Respectful Prostitute is a scathing attack on American racism.
Drama
RESISTANCE, REBELLION, AND DEATH
by Albert Camus
In the speech he gave upon accepting the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1957, Albert Camus said that a writer “cannot serve today those who make history; he must serve those who are subject to it.” And in these twenty-three political essays, he demonstrates his commitment to history’s victims, from the fallen maquis of the French Revolution to the casualties of the Cold War. Resistance, Rebellion, and Death displays Camus’ rigorous moral intelligence addressing issues that range from colonial warfare in Algeria to the social cancer of capital punishment.
Essays
THE MYTH OF SISYPHUS
by Albert Camus
One of the most influential works of the twentieth century, The Myth of Sisyphus and Other Essays 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 of 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.
Philosophy
THE HISTORY OF SEXUALITY
by Michel Foucault
Why has there been such a veritable explosion of discussion about sex in the West since the seventeenth century? How did we ever come to believe that our increasing talk about it would make us feel less repressed? In The History of Sexuality, his ambitious multipart study, Michel Foucault offers a dazzling, iconoclastic exploration of why we feel compelled to continually analyze and discuss sex, and of the social and mental mechanisms of power that cause us to direct the question of what we are to what our sexuality is.
