First American edition of Camus' selections from his notebooks, published posthumously from his manuscript. Octavo, original cloth. Translated from the French and with a Preface and Notes by Philip Thody. Typography, binding, and jacket design by George Salter. Very good in a very good dust jacket.

From 1935 until his death, Albert Camus kept a series of notebooks to sketch out ideas for future works, record snatches of conversations and excerpts from books he was reading, jot down his reflections on death and the horror of war, his feelings about women, about loneliness, and art, and the Algerian sun and sea. This volume, the first of three, includes all entries made from the time when Camus was still completely unknown in Europe, until 1942, when the publication of The Stranger made him immediately famous.
