What is Exile and the Kingdom : Stories about?

<p>From a variety of masterfully rendered perspectives, these six stories depict people at painful odds with the world around them. A wife can only surrender to a desert night by betraying her husband. An artist struggles to honor his own aspirations as well as society's expectations of him. A missionary brutally converted to the worship of a tribal fetish is left with but an echo of his identity. Whether set in North Africa, Paris, or Brazil, the stories in <i>Exile and the Kingdom</i> are probing portraits of spiritual exile, and man’s perpetual search for an inner kingdom in which to be reborn. They display Camus at the height of his powers.</p> <p>Now, on the 50th anniversary of the book’s publication, Carol Cosman’s new translation recovers a literary treasure for our time.</p> <p>Albert Camus won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1957.</p> <p>The theme is man himself- man condemned by his nature and circumstance to spiritual exile. </p>
