Author/Contributor(s): Camus, Albert; Smith, Sandra Publisher: Vintage Date: 10/29/2019 Binding: Paperback Condition: NEW A call to arms for artists, in particular those who came f rom an immigrant background, like he did. • “To create today means to create dangerously. Every publication is a deliberate act, and that act makes us vulnerable to the passions of a century that forgives nothing.” In 1957, Nobel Prize-winning philosopher Albert Camus gave a speech entitled "Create Dangerously." Camus understood the necessity of those making art as a part of civil society. A bold cry for artistic freedom and responsibility, his words today remain as timely as ever. In this new translation, Camus's message, available as a stand-alone little book for the first time, will resonate with a new generation of writers and artists. Show more
