´To create today means to create dangerously´

This new collection contains some of Camus´ most brilliant political writing as he reflects on moral responsibility and the role of the artist in the world. Letters to a German Friend, written and published underground during the Nazi occupation of France, was born out of Camus´ experience in the Resistance and explores what it truly means to love your country. Reflections on the Guillotine, his impassioned polemic against the death penalty, became a touchstone for the movement to abolish capital punishment, while in his Nobel speeches Camus argues that the artist must engage with dangerous times. Together these powerful pieces express Camus´ mistrust of rigid ideologies, and his commitment to human solidarity.

´Probably no European writer of his time left so deep a mark on the imagination´ Conor Cruise O´Brien
