The myth of sisyphus
In The Myth of Sisyphus, Albert Camus explores the concept of the absurd—the conflict between human desire for meaning and the silent, indifferent universe. Through the ancient Greek myth of Sisyphus, a man condemned to roll a boulder uphill for eternity, Camus illustrates how life’s lack of inherent meaning need not lead to despair. Instead, he argues that one must imagine Sisyphus happy—choosing to embrace the absurd and live with defiant freedom. The book combines philosophy and literature in a powerful reflection on existence, rebellion, and the human condition.
