El Mito de Sísifo
by Albert Camus
Premio Nobel de la Literatura en 1957, Albert Camus, nacido en África del Norte en 1913 y muerto en París, en 1960, se manifestó al gran público con una novela breve, El extranjero, que en poco tiempo adquirió resonancia universal. Considerado, junto con Sartre, como la revelación más importante de la literatura francesa de posguerra y uno de los principales teóricos del existencialismo, su ideología filosófica, así como su punto de vista político, ético y estético sobre nuestra sociedad se perfilan ya claramente en El mito de Sísifo, donde estudia el fenómeno de una sensibilidad absurda que puede encontrarse dispersa a lo largo del siglo pasado.

He is often cited as a proponent of existentialism, the philosophy that he was associated with during his own lifetime, but Camus himself rejected this particular label. In an interview in 1945, Camus rejected any ideological associations: "No, I am not an existentialist. Sartre and I are always surprised to see our names linked…"
