For if \u003ci\u003eA Happy Death \u003c\/i\u003eis 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAs 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTranslated from the French by Richard Howard\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!----\u003e","brand":"Penguin Random House","offers":[{"title":"Trade Paperback","offer_id":48932876321065,"sku":"9780679764007","price":357.0,"currency_code":"MXN","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0739\/9420\/7529\/files\/9780679764007_72921.jpg?v=1736574223","url":"https:\/\/www.bookup.com.mx\/products\/happy-death","provider":"BOOKUPMX","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
