NOBEL PRIZE WINNER .

Twenty-three political essays that focus on the victims of history, from the fallenmaquisof the French Resistance to the casualties of the Cold War.

In the speech he gave upon accepting the Nobel Prize for Literature in

1957, Albert Camus said that a writer ""cannot serve today those who make

history; he must serve those who are subject to it.""

Resistance, Rebellion and Death displays Camus' rigorous moral

intelligence addressing issues that range from colonial warfare in

Algeria to the social cancer of capital punishment.

But this stirring

book is above all a reflection on the problem of freedom, and, as such,

belongs in the same tradition as the works that gave Camus his

reputation as the conscience of our century- The Stranger, The Rebel,

and The Myth of Sisyphus.
