"Pienso que nuestra fraternidad, que se manifiesta en todos los planos, va mucho más lejos de lo que los dos pensamos y aun de lo que sentimos. Cada vez más seremos un incordio para la frivolidad de los explotadores de nuestra época, para los selectos pregoneros de uno y otro bando. Tanto mejor. Este nuevo combate apenas comienza, y con él, nuestra razón de existir. Al menos de ello estoy convencido... Es lo que siento y presiento."

By one of the most profoundly influential thinkers of our century, The Rebel is a classic essay on revolution. 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.
