PREQUEL - YOUNG CAMUS Nuptials CYCLE OF THE ABSURD 1st The Stranger 2nd Caligula 3rd The Myth of Sisyphus CYCLE OF REVOLT 1st The Plague 2nd The Just Assassins 3rd The Rebel The Fall isn’t fit to any cycle, but I think this would be a nice moment to read it. The same applies to Exile and Kingdom. CYCLE OF LOVE The First Man OTHER WORKS For a further understanding of his work, you can read A Happy Death (his first and forgotten book), this will allow you to better understand his pre-absurd worldview. In the same terms, you can also read his academical thesis Christian Metaphysics and Neoplatonism, but isn’t interesting in a first moment. His plays from the cycle of revolt, except for The Just Assassins, aren’t exactly great plays, but if you want to read The State of Siege and The Misunderstanding, do it after The Just Assassins. For a further understanding of his political worldview, it definitely worth to read his essays in Combat and Actuelles and also Reflections on the Guillotine.—Updated on 2024-05-08 07:29:02
