A Happy Death. Translated From the French by Richard Howard. Afterword and Notes by Jean Sarocchi

A Happy Death, Albert Camus's previously unpublished first novel, written when he was in his early twenties, foreshadows his brilliant work, The Stranger. But in it Camus reveals much more of himself than he did in his later, more mythic fiction.

  • ""La recherche têtue du bonheur, fût-ce au prix d'un crime, ...[après] une jeunesse difficile."--Cover."
  • "Philosophical novel about a man who spent his life in the pursuit of happiness and peace and dies a happy death."
  • "Autobiographical novel of French author including his job at the maritime commission in Algiers, his suffering from tuberculosis, and his travels in Europe."

  • "A young man searches throughout life for the key to confronting death without fear."
  • "In einer beherrschten sinnlichen Prosa beschreibt Camus die geliebte algerische Landschaft, die mediterrane Sonne, den tiefblauen Himmel, die glühende Erde, die erlösende See, aber auch das Gefühl der Entfremdung und das vertraute Verhältnis zum Tod."
  • "En 1938, Albert Camus abandonne son premier roman, "la mort heureuse", pour se consacrer à l'écriture de "l'étranger". Ce premier projet romanesque sera publié à titre posthume."
  • "In his first novel, A Happy Death, written when he was in his early twenties and retrieved from his private papers following his death in I960, Albert Camus laid the foundation for The Stranger, focusing in both works on an Algerian clerk who kills a man in cold blood. But he also revealed himself to an extent that he never would in his later fiction. For if A Happy Death is the study of a rule-bound being shattering the fetters of his existence, it is also a remarkably candid portrait of its author as a young man. As the novel follows the protagonist, Patrice Mersault, to his victim's house -- and then, fleeing, in a journey that takes him through stages of exile, hedonism, privation, and death -it gives us a glimpse into the imagination of one of the great writers of the twentieth century. For here is the young Camus himself, in love with the sea and sun, enraptured by women yet disdainful of romantic love, and already formulating the philosophy of action and moral responsibility that would make him central to the thought of our time."
  • "This is the first novel by French writer-philosopher Albert Camus. The existentialist topic of the book is the "will to happiness," the conscious creation of one's happiness, and the need of time (and money) to do so. It draws on memories of the author including his job at the maritime commission in Algiers, his suffering from tuberculosis, and his travels in Europe."
  • "Srečna smrt je zgodba o Patriceu Mersaultu, ki hladnokrvno umori človeka."@sl
