A review by lucysbookshelf
El mito de Sísifo by Albert Camus

5.0

In this philosophical essay, Albert Camus uses the Myth of Sisyphus, art, authors and even some books to explain his idea of what it is the absurd (the contradictory, the divorce of ideas). Summarizing his ideas is an ambitious goal for any reviewer, but if I had to do it, I would say that his proposal of living for the whole purpose of living, and his "time will make time live and life will serve life" (I'm not sure if those are the exact words, I read it in Spanish so that's my translation) are concepts that will live in my mind for a long time and some of his ideas related to authors like Kafka and Dostoyevsky will definitely change my perspective on their works.
