Albert CAMUS — La Mort heureuse

Prima edizione

Il faut imaginer un mort heureux | Gallimard | Paris 1971 | 14.50 x 21.50 cm | broché | Édition originale, un des 106 exemplaires numérotés sur hollande, tirage de tête. Bel exemplaire de cet important texte dans l'oeuvre d'Albert Camus : quoique publié onze ans après sa mort, il s'agit en effet de son premier roman, écrit et remanié entre 1936 et 1938 puis abandonné pour l'Etranger dont il est considéré comme la matrice. * Malgré une trame très différente, puisqu'ici le crime fait suite à la demande de la victime et que Patrice Mersault est bien plus expressif que son « frère cadet » Meursault, La Mort Heureuse permet de saisir le coeur de la réflexion camusienne en extrayant son obsession première, l'absence de culpabilité, première mise en exergue de l'absurdité de la condition humaine.    | [ENGLISH DESCRIPTION FOLLOWS] First edition, one of 106 numbered copies on Hollande paper, constituting the deluxe issue. Fine copy of this important work in Albert Camus's literary career. Although published eleven years after his death, it was in fact his first novel, written and revised between 1936 and 1938 before being abandoned in favour of The Stranger, for which it is regarded as the precursor. * Despite its markedly different plot, in which the murder is committed at the victim's request and Patrice Mersault is far more expressive than his younger literary counterpart, Meursault, A Happy Death offers a revealing insight into the heart of Camus's philosophical concerns. It brings to the fore his earliest preoccupation, the absence of guilt, which emerges here as a first expression of the absurdity of the human condition.
