Youthful Writings (Twentieth Century Classics)

by Albert Camus (Author), PaulViallaneix (Introduction), E.C.Kennedy (Introduction)

Synopsis

This text contains Camus's works of his early 20s - essays, verse, parables, and fairy tales - that reveal how his writing developed. They range from essays on Verlaine and Jehan Rictus, a study of Nietzsche's and Schopenhauer's theories of music, and a dialogue between God and His Soul, to three fairy tales in Melusina's Book and Voices from the Poor Quarter . French critic Paul Viallaneix sets them in perspective and relates them to Camus's later writing.
