Publisher's summary

"Je suis certain qu'on ne peut être heureux sans argent. Voilà tout. Je n'aime ni la facilité ni le romantisme. J'aime à me rendre compte. Eh bien, j'ai remarqué que chez certains êtres d'élite il y a une sorte de snobisme spirituel à croire que l'argent n'est pas nécessaire au bonheur. C'est bête, c'est faux, et dans une certaine mesure, c'est lâche."

©1971 Editions Gallimard (P)2020 Editions Gallimard

To fear death is to fear life

I appreciated Camus’ treatment of some key philosophical questions such as the meaning of life (to find happiness), the right time to die (when happiness is found), and the appropriateness of euthanasia (when asked by a loved patient). The book is a beautifully written joyful ode to life. I would recommend it to anyone who can still marvel at life in all its aspects, and of course to any fan of Albert Camus.

Super récit

Un jeune Camus, tout fraîche, très puissant, dans un roman curieux qui va de Dostoievski à Nietzsche, sans oublier Kafka. La crème, quoi..?!
Très bon lecteur aussi.
