"There is no novel without revolt." The two texts from the estate are particularly enlightening for Albert Camus and his work. They are compiled in this volume as travel reports: the notes on his journey to the United States and the diary of his trip to South America. Not only do recurring themes of brotherhood and human dignity appear throughout Camus's entire work, but all the daily great and small, comical and tragic experiences also give the reader the feeling of encountering one of the most fascinating people of our time once again.
