Speaking Out: Lectures and Speeches, 1937-1958

<b>The Nobel Prize winner's most influential and enduring lectures and speeches, newly translated by Quintin Hoare, in what is the first English language publication of this collection. </b><br><br>Albert Camus (1913-1960) is unsurpassed among writers for a body of work that animates the wonder and absurdity of existence. <i>Speaking Out: Lectures and Speeches, 1938-1958</i> brings together, for the first time, thirty-four public statements from across Camus's career that reveal his radical commitment to justice around the world and his role as a public intellectual. <br><br>From his 1946 lecture at Columbia University about humanity's moral decline, his 1951 BBC broadcast commenting on Britain's general election, and his strident appeal during the Algerian conflict for a civilian truce between Algeria and France, to his speeches on Dostoevsky and <i>Don Quixote</i>, this crucial new collection reflects the scope of Camus's political and cultural influence.
