19462405010Hamish Hamilton 1946. 1st UK 1st impression. Hardback. Near fine/Very good. <p>The received wisdom is that our 'case-hardened' anti-hero Meursault is outside usual bourgeois notions of sensibility and emotion but this did not according to Sartre make Camus an existentialist a label the author himself also rejected. As an Algerian he was beyond the pale anyway the original stranger. First published in French in 1942 much adolescent angst has been expended since on this slim novella usually in Livre de Poche or Folio format. This version on the other hand is toute autre chose - a very handsome volume indeed with a superb cover by Edward Bawden. Given the strictures under which this was produced it's amazing to see it in such good condition today and it should be kept well away from any student bedroom. The book's boards are clean and good and just a little worn to top edge. Text block is fine with no foxing to this cheap war economy paper. The unclipped jacket has marginal losses to spine top and is slightly grubby verso.</p> . Hamish Hamilton unknown

It was edited by Camus together with Gabriel Audisio René-Jean Clot Jacques Heurgon and Jean Hytier and was published by Edmond Charlot in Algiers. The aim of the review was to provide to the rest of the world with an insight in to the rich cultural life of the Mediterranean. When "Été à Alger" originally appeared in "Rivages" Camus had only published one book ""L'Énvers et l'Endroit" 1937. Later in 1939 his second book "Noces" which is announced in the present volume of "Rivages" appears. </em> unknown
