The Rebel (Penguin Modern Classics)

Excellent service

Bought as a gift and my Son was delighted to receive it

Intriguing premises but takes concentration from the reader.

Arrived on time and in good condition

Ive read a few of Camus works and this one i really enjoyed. it was hard to read at time but there came a point it all clicked and made sense and i cant help but consider his ideas in the current times. Im very happy i read this book, id recommend it to others interested in Camus ideas.

Better than most of the dross available these days, but not one of his best.

This book explains why people rebel so well I've never understood myself better after reading it.All the motivation and emotions that can go through your mind if you are of a certain nature are explained here, as well as it documenting the history of dissent.If your an angry young or old person or have ever felt persecuted for what ever views you may have read this as comfort in your lonely hours.

havent read it.... what do you think...?

Superbly written, engaging and perhaps even better than "The Myth of Sisyphus", "The Rebel" is an incisive analysis of the human condition and of some of the main events in history that even though started as acts of rebellion, ended in unprecedented oppression and despotism. In the book Camus also alerts for the dangers of justifying one's ideologies and the righteousness of our actions with history, either by using the atrocities committed in the past and/or any Utopian scenario that might act as an end point for any sort of revolution. A great companion to Erns Junger's "The Forest Passage" (published in the same year) and definitely a must read.

Great book for everyone. Nicely produced.

Delivered on time

It is a classic and I will review it after reading.

One of, if not the best, single book written by Camus, in my not wholly-well-versed-on-him opinion. I much preferred this to either The Fall, or The Myth of Sisyphus. It's here that he makes more incisive arguments, that rationally bolster, through an historical tracing, our need to confront and overcome Absurdity. Its depth, ease to read, and great sense of moral-direction make this book one that I recommend to everybody.
