A HAPPY DEATH, though published posthumously, is in many respects Camus at his lyrical and cultural best,
a man whose fate seems to lie in returning to the land from whence he sprang. Johulin (John O'Loughlin) has coupled
this complex little novel by the Nobel prizewinning French-Algerian to one of his most influential books, THE REBEL, in the
hope that more people will come to appreciate Camus' stature not just as a writer of colorful prose but as a philosopher in
his own right, the equal, in many respects, of Sartre, to whom he was constantly linked.
