About this title

Review:

"Topics that often crop up in Camus's letters - not only absurdity, but also fidelity, revolt, the need for silence, and the search for "measure" in the Greco-Roman sense of the term - are analysed in Robert Zaretsky's enlightening A Life Worth Living." --John Taylor, Times Literary Supplement, 8 November 2013

"As A Life Worth Living emphasises, he should be remembered as a leading 20th-century intellectual, not simply humanisms favourite quote generator.... Scarcely a linear biography, Zaretsky s thematic study nonetheless convinces that a stubborn defence of the meek was central to the indefatigability that won Camus admirers and enemies in equal measure." --Matthew Feldman, Times Higher Education, 21/11/13
