1972119628New York: Alfred A. Knopf 1972. First American edition of Camus' first novel published over 30 years after it was written and 11 years after his death. Octavo original cloth. Translated from the French by Richard Howard. Afterword and Notes by Jean Sarocchi. Near fine in a very good dust jacket. Jacket photograph by Henri Cartier-Bresson. In many ways A Happy Death foreshadows The Stranger but its most striking difference - beyond its differences of plot and intention - is that her Camus reveals more of himself than in his later more mythic fiction.
