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
