Presentation copy inscribed by the author on the half-title page "A Jean de Bosschère crossing through "Les" an nom des que vous no sommes sens tes cordialement Albert Camus."

He published his own works of poetry and in 1952 was awarded the Prix de la Méditerranée and in November the Mandat des Poètes. In near fine condition. Camus separated his work into three cycles. Each cycle consisted of a novel an essay and a play. The first was the cycle of the absurd consisting of L'Étranger Le Mythe de Sysiphe and Caligula. The second was the cycle of the revolt which included La Peste The Plague L'Homme révolté The Rebel and Les Justes The Just Assassins. The third the cycle of the love consisted of Nemesis. Each cycle was an examination of a theme with the use of a pagan myth and including biblical motifs. Camus began his work on the second cycle while he was in Algeria in the last months of 1942 just as the Germans were reaching North Africa. Based on the true story of a group of Russian Socialist-Revolutionaries who assassinated the Grand Duke Sergei Alexandrovich The Just Assassins explores the moral issues associated with murder and terrorism.

1955192704London: Hamish Hamilton 1955. One must imagine Sisyphus happy First edition in English including a new preface by Camus and collecting the title essay alongside "Summer in Algiers" "The Minotaur or The Stop in Oran" "Helen's Exile" "Return to Tipasa" and "The Artist and His Time". Camus's absurdist treatise on the philosophical problem of suicide was first published as Le Mythe de Sisyphe in 1942. Addressing his English readers Camus comments that "written fifteen years ago in 1940 amidst the French and European disaster this book declares that even within the limits of nihilism it is possible to find the means to proceed beyond nihilism. This book is in a certain sense the most personal of those I have published in English". It acts as a non-fictional companion to his novel L'Étranger 1942. The translator Justin O'Brien 1906-1968 was a professor of French at Columbia University who translated many works by Camus and certain works by Jean-Paul Sartre and André Gide including Gide's collected journals. Octavo. Original blue boards spine lettered in silver. With dust jacket. Spine ends bumped a few spots to edges; jacket unclipped spine lightly toned closed tear to spine head couple of nicks and creases: a very good copy in like jacket. hardcover
1948137545Paris: Gallimard 1948. First edition early printing of Camus' fourth play a political allegory about resistance to the plague of authoritarian rule. Octavo original wrappers. Presentation copy inscribed by the author on the half-title page "A Jean de Bosschère assiege sure anso mars insoumais L'Etat de Siege are Esperes a plus cordials Albert Camus." The recipient Jean de Bosschère lived for most of the 20th century between London and France and illustrated his own works as well as the works of Oscar Wilde Charles Baudelaire and the classical works of Aristophanes Ovid Strato and Apuleius. He published his own works of poetry and in 1952 was awarded the Prix de la Méditerranée and in November the Mandat des Poètes. In near fine condition. 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. The work has remained almost constantly in print in French and since 1958 in an English translation by Stuart Gilbert—in Caligula and Three Other Plays—with a foreword by Camus. Gallimard unknown

195458313Paris Gallimard 1954. Uncut in the original printed wrappers. A very nice copy housed in a beautiful brown half morocco box with gilt lettering to spine and gilt super ex-libris to front board. <br/><br/><em>First edition Service de presse-copy i.e. review-copy "S.P" to bottom of title-page and to verso of back wrapper of Camus' magnificent and highly influential collection of essays entitled "Summer" inscribed to the famous critic of literature and drama the writer Guy Dumur 1921-1991: "à Guy Dumur/ l'une des/ ÉTÉs ÉTÉ being printed an L' crossed out in front with s added in Camus' hand/ son vieil et fidele ami/ Albert Camus" on half-title.The younger Guy Dumur was a close friend of Camus who hired him to work on "Combat" with him. It is reported that he had a great talent for discovering new talent. Since childhood he was extremely passionate about the theatre and came to work with all the great dramatic figures in Paris at the time. He is also famous for a number of well respected novels. The essays in "L'été" are devoted to Algiers and represent a very personal side of Camus who provides a marvelous poetic and humorous picture of the provincial simplicities of Oran and Algiers. For many Camus-devotees "L'Été" constitutes one of the most beloved works as it gives the feel of a certain intimacy with the author that few of his other works does. "In "Return to Tipasa" perhaps the most confessional essay in "Summer" which dates from a long trip to Algeria in December 1952 Camus issues his now famous testimony of survival - "In the depths of winter I finally learned that within me lay an invincible summer" Hawes: Camus A Romance 2009 pp. 181-82. </em> unknown
