She was waiting, but she didn't know for what. She was aware only of her solitude, and of the penetrating cold, and of a greater weight in the region of her heart.'Camus's writing confronts the great philosophical dilemmas of our time with piercing clarity.

These three powerful and evocative stories are heavy with the weight of the human condition, and rich with atmosphere.

In them, an ageing labourer, a woman travelling in North Africa with her husband, and a schoolteacher tasked with transporting a prisoner each face their own moral crises. This book contains The Adulterous Woman, The Silent Men and The Guest.
