Sinopse

A collection of 34 lecture texts by Albert Camus, Lectures and Discourses: 1937–1958 is an excellent gateway to Camusian thought and an introduction to one of the most influential philosophical geniuses of the 20th century.

There's no better way to recognize Albert Camus's tireless, wordsmith, and implacable image than in his speeches. Besides being a genius of philosophical thought and writing, Camus was a master of oratory.

Lectures and Speeches brings together 34 texts from lectures by Albert Camus delivered between 1937 and 1958, including "The Time of the Assassins"—prepared for presentation in several Brazilian cities in 1949. From one lecture to the next, the Algerian author offers a diagnosis of what he calls the "crisis of humanity," striving to restore voice and dignity to those who have been deprived of them for half a century by various forms of violence. For him, civilization itself was at stake.

Camus raised his voice for freedom and respect for humanity, whether for the end of World War II or for the revolution in his beloved Algeria. In all cases, the author of The Stranger was always merciless against ideas that sought to subjugate people to any form of ideology.

For Albert Camus, it is humanity's job, according to each individual's capacity, to oppose the world's unhappiness and lessen its suffering. And the Nobel Prize winner could not escape this duty and honor. "I like engaged men more than engaged literature," wrote Albert Camus in his Notebooks . "Having courage in life and talent in one's works is not bad at all."
