The Rebel: An Essay on Man in Revolt by Albert Camus

4.0

---

In beautiful language, Camus argues that the artist is the ultimate rebel, in his refusal to live in the world as it is and creation of his own through art, as well as through his paradoxical approval of the reality he needs to draw from to create. The artist succeeds where political rebellion fails, particularly in his rebellion being nonviolent. In the great works of art, the artist truly unifies humanity.
