For Albert Camus, the urge to revolt is one of the "essential dimensions" of human nature, manifested in man's timeless Promethean struggle against the conditions of his existence, as well as the popular uprisings against established orders throughout history. And yet, with an eye toward the French Revolution and its regicides and deicides, he shows how inevitably the course of revolution leads to tyranny. As old regimes throughout the world collapse, The Rebel resonates as an ardent, eloquent, and supremely rational voice of conscience for our tumultuous times.<br><br>Translated from the French by Anthony Bower. 486408 book 1951 The Rebel: An Essay on Man in Revolt total:1112|5:367|4:439|3:240|2:51|1:15| 1112 4428 1863 52 1034215 0140180222 9780140180220 7 2 3.98 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1180392698m/1034215.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1034215.The_Rebel 4 4 false Thu Jan 17 22:59:17 -0800 2008 Thu Jan 17 23:31:40 -0800 2008 more...]]> 11990 0679733841 9780679733843 1059 42 3.98 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1166490673m/11990.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/11990.The_Rebel_An_Essay_on_Man_in_Revolt 1 2 true Thu Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Tue Jan 27 02:17:30 -0800 2009 Tue Jan 27 03:31:28 -0800 2009 more...]]> 11990 0679733841 9780679733843 1059 42 3.98 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1166490673m/11990.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/11990.The_Rebel_An_Essay_on_Man_in_Revolt 4 3 false Fri Jun 01 00:00:00 -0700 2007 Fri May 11 12:27:33 -0700 2007 Fri Jul 20 11:54:25 -0700 2007
