Myten om Sisyfos

Albert Camus

4.06 AVERAGE


Sisyphus (me) is ultimately content (absolutely devastated and hopeless) with pushing his rock up a hill (going to work everyday).

I didn't know how much Camus crushes on Kafka's works especially with his use of absurdism - such a cute little surprise at the end.

"If this myth is tragic, that is because it's hero is conscious. Where would his torture be, indeed if at every step the hope succeeding upheld him? The workman of today works every day in his life at the same tasks and this fate is no less absurd" - pg. 117

I don't think I'm smart enough to fully understand all that Camus wanted me to here. Still, the latter half especially had some interesting ideas and arguments. Glad I read
