The political discourse of Albert Camus, a cradle of unfettered thought and humanitarian measure, undeniably claims its timelessness. It is an inspired discourse that remains resilient and relevant. And certainly, it cannot be limited solely to his early criticism of Stalinism during the Cold War.

In the 1950s, as well as the first years after his death, in contrast to the invectives and attacks he suffered from certain leftist intellectuals, there was a space that defended him with unwavering will, the space of libertarians. But what do we know about this particular aspect of the great Nobel Prize-winning author?

What kind of relationships did he develop with the anarchists and anti-authoritarians of his time? In what ways was his influence crucial in social thought and in the critique of violence, ideology, and nationalism? What were his views on Bakunin and the fighters of the Spanish Civil War?

This volume brings together texts by Albert Camus, articles, and interventions in various publications, which reveal another fascinating dimension of his work, his revolutionary ethics and libertarian spirit.

“Albert Camus is undoubtedly the most significant intellectual of France today. He clearly surpasses all.” Hannah Arendt [letter to Heinrich Blücher, May 1952]
