Sämtliche Dramen

Camus' plays are presented here for the first time in their entirety and in a new translation. The translator Hinrich Schmidt-Henkel refers to the French author as a "humanist on stage" in his afterword, highlighting his relevance today. Power-hungry despots, deluded assassins, or rebellious freedom fighters: Albert Camus' dramas have established him as a modern classic and continue to captivate with their contemporary themes. This complete and expanded edition of his plays gathers seven newly translated works in one volume, including the "Impromptu of the Philosophers," discovered only in 2006, which presents a compellingly ironic engagement between the artist and Jean-Paul Sartre.
