Avec cette nouvelle revue il appelle au développement dune littérature de la méditerranée dans la splendeur de son unité mais surtout de ses contrastes : « Cest ce scintillement plein de vie que lon retrouve dans des uvres telles que LEnvers et lEndroit ou Noces et même dans certains passages de LÉtranger. » Hélène Rufat À travers et par la Méditerranée : regards sur Albert Camus.

7525London: Hamish Hamilton 1971. 141 x 217 x 21 mms. Bound by Haein Song in 2013 in a Bradel binding with dark blue vellum sides and natural goatskin spine. Hand tooled in gold. Hand printed endpapers with leather joint to panel doublures. Housed in the original purple cloth clamshell box with gilt lettering on upper cover.Camus' philosophical essay compares the absurdity of man's life with the Sisyphus a figure of Greek mythology who was condemned to repeat forever the same meaningless task of pushing a boulder up a mountain only to see it roll down again. Song’ inspiration for the binding design came from a beautifully haunting reflection on life's absurdity and our futile search for meaning unity and clarity.<br>Haein Song originally from Seoul in South Korea is a fellow of Designer Bookbinders and a remarkable book artist. Her bindings and artist’s books are in many public and private collections and her work is much sought after. Hamish Hamilton hardcover
1948119263Paris: Gallimard 1948. First edition of this classic play by the Nobel Prize-winning author. Octavo original wrappers. Presentation copy inscribed by the author on the half-title page "A. M. Antomin <span class="match">en</span> cordial hommage Albert Camus." In near fine condition. Housed in a custom half morocco clamshell box. Written in 1948 The State of Siege--the original sense is closer to state of emergency--is a play in three acts presenting the arrival of plague personified by a young opportunist in sleepy Cadiz and the subsequent creation of a totalitarian regime through the manipulation of fear. In a piece written in 1948 in reply to criticisms from Gabriel Marcel Camus defended his decision to set the play in Spain and not in Eastern Europe citing the ongoing oppression in Spain France's collusion in it and the Catholic Church's abandonment of Spanish Christians. The piece was first performed in October 1948 and was initially received poorly by critics and public who had eagerly awaited the work but expected a dramatization of Camus's novel The Plague. While the two share a common background the treatments are entirely different in tone. Although Camus himself was pleased with the work critics remained unimpressed. The State of Siege has remained constantly in print in French and since 1958 in an English translation by Stuart Gilbert--in Caligula and Three Other Plays. Gallimard unknown books

Entire issue: 16 -advertisements pp. pp. 65-128 16 -advertisements pp. <br/><br/><em>The very rare first printing of one of Camus' earliest literary productions namely the first part of his famous "Été à Alger" which was printed later the same year in his second book "Noces" for which there is an advertisement on the inside of the back wrapper in the second part of the very rare Algerian review "Rivages".In all only two numbers of "Rivages" appeared as it was interrupted due to the censorship at the beginning of the war. 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

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
