In brand new translations by Ryan Bloom, four theatrical
masterpieces from the Nobel Prize-winning author of The Outsider
and The Plague are brought together for the first time in English,
alongside deleted scenes and alternate lines of dialogue
Caligula/The Misunderstanding /State of Emergency/The Just Although
renowned for his novels, Albert Camus described the theatre as 'one
of the only places in the world I'm happy', and staged the four
plays gathered in this collection in Paris between 1944-49.
Caligula, his first full-length dramatic work, portrays the
monstrous emperor who destroys men, gods and ultimately himself.
Here too are The Misunderstanding, a murderous tangle of longing;
State of Emergency, where 'The Plague' appears as a central
character; and The Just, which explores the limits of political
conviction. This new translation brings together Camus's final
versions of the plays, along with deleted scenes and alternate
lines of dialogue.
