"I rebel, therefore I exist" confirms Albert Camus. Rebellion is the only way to transcend the absurd. But the true subject of "The Rebel" is the questions posed by Camus's penetrating spirit: How has man, in the name of rebellion, compromised with crime? How did rebellion lead to the authoritarian states of the 20th century that replicate concentration camps? How has human pride been misguided?

"The Rebel" had an immense impact from the very beginning, but it also provoked many reactions from various sides: communists, surrealists, existentialists, Christians... Camus's contemporaries were not mature enough to acknowledge truths that were imposed in later years, making "The Rebel" more relevant than ever.

"...The revolutionary spirit in Europe can also, for the first and last time, reflect on its principles, wonder which deviation leads it to the destruction of terrorism and war, and rediscover, along with the causes of its rebellion, its faith in these principles."
