Review: First class philosophy of absurdisism - As always with Albert Camus, this book is a good starting point for those only hearing of Camus. A philosopher, a teacher, lover.

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ First class philosophy of absurdisism
*by T***N on 11 September 2025*

As always with Albert Camus, this book is a good starting point for those only hearing of Camus. A philosopher, a teacher, lover.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Beautiful descriptions, happiness the philosophy
*by M***W on 26 January 2025*

I was really taken by his economical writings: how he could paint a room, or surroundings, and lean on his insight about life in one paragraph.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Prompt delivery.
*by R***K on 21 September 2023*

The book arrived in excellent condition and within 2 days. Its early Camu, and perhaps a watered down version of what we read in his later novel The Stranger, though the protagonists are the same. Anyone studying early modernist writing should read this.
