Penguin Books Exile and the Kingdom

Product description

The stories of exile and the kingdom explore the dilemma of being an outsider-even in one's own country-and of allegiance. With intense power and lyricism, camus evokes beautiful but harsh landscapes, whether the shimmering deserts of his native algeria or the wild, mysterious jungles of brazil. Here, a frenchwoman is gradually seduced by the sheer difference of north africa, a mutilated renegade is driven mad by the cruelty of his own people, and a barrel-maker watches the slow decline of his craft. A kindly teacher must choose between the law and a life, while a modest painter is out of his depth in the hypocrisy of the art world, and a french engineer discovers a new sense of belonging in a distant land. Fransız romancı, deneme yazarı ve oyun yazarı.
