本世纪最具影响力的作品之一“西西弗斯与其他散文的神话”是对存在主义思想的重要论述。 受唐璜等作品和卡夫卡小说的影响，这些散文以对自杀的沉思开始， 生活或不生活在没有秩序或意义的宇宙中的问题。 凭借抒情的口才，阿尔贝·加缪出色地摆出了绝望之路，重申了个人存在的价值，以及生命的可能性以尊严和真实的方式生活着。

One of the most influential works of this century, The Myth of Sisyphus and Other Essays is a crucial exposition of existentialist thought. Influenced by works such as Don Juan and the novels of Kafka, these essays begin with a meditation on suicide; the question of living or not living in a universe devoid of order or meaning. With lyric eloquence, Albert Camus brilliantly posits a way out of despair, reaffirming the value of personal existence, and the possibility of life lived with dignity and authenticity.
