In his first novel, A Happy Death, written when he was in his early twenties and retrieved from his private papers following his death in I960, Albert Camus laid the foundation for The Stranger, focusing in both works on an Algerian clerk who kills a man in cold blood. But he also revealed himself to an extent that he never would in his later fiction. For if A Happy Death is the study of a rule-bound being shattering the fetters of his existence, it is also a remarkably candid portrait of its author as a young man. As the novel follows the protagonist, Patrice Mersault, to his victim's house -- and then, fleeing, in a journey that takes him through stages of exile, hedonism, privation, and death -it gives us a glimpse into the imagination of one of the great writers of the twentieth century. For here is the young Camus himself, in love with the sea and sun, enraptured by women yet disdainful of romantic love, and already formulating the philosophy of action and moral responsibility that would make him central to the thought of our time. Translated from the French by Richard Howard

读后感

這部小說是卡繆在24歲左右時所寫的。書中充滿了對思想、人生、世界的徬徨游移與思索，似乎也呼應著青年卡繆當時的心境。 主角是一位四肢健壯，但患有隱疾的年輕人梅爾索，他和母親兩人相依為命，以貧困的狀態住在破敗骯髒的小公寓裡，母親過世後，原本朋友就不多的他更顯得寂...  

“唯有当快乐和它相反的事物呈激烈的对立冲突时，我才能够尝到快乐的滋味”这种状态类似于加缪日后在《西西弗神话》中所提到的荒诞本质，同时也是理想与现实的困境——梅尔索所陷入的巨大荒诞。梅尔索的悲剧在于陷入逼仄的窘境却依然不放弃对希望追求。而默尔索则是明知杀人的...  

用户评价

“Living this way, in his own presence, time took on its most extreme dimensions, and each hour seemed to contain a world.”

私心是想给5星的

Great and exhaustive depictions of an evanescent yet truthful life. Mixture of sensitiveness and indifference. One imagines the burning soul within an individual running across the sky and, merges into the endless sea. "J'étais émerveillé d'avoir une âme rouge."

不，并没有太多的思辨。"People don't love each other at our age, Marthe— they please each other, that's all. Later on, when you're old and impotent, you can love someone."加缪写到“The House above the World”时宛若沉迷田园生活时期的黑塞，随之顺流而下的后半部分是如此迷幻、意识流、感官化，Mersault在偶感风寒后颤栗着死去。
