A renowned scholar investigates the "human crisis" that Albert Camus confronted in his world and in ours, producing a brilliant study of Camus's life and influence for those readers who, in Camus's words, "cannot live without dialogue and friendship." As France--and all of the world--was emerging from the depths of World War II, Camus summed up what he saw as "the human crisis" We gasp for air among people who believe they are absolutely right, whether it be in their machines or their ideas. And for all who cannot live without dialogue and the friendship of other human beings, this silence is the end of the world. In the years after he wrote these words, until his death fourteen years later, Camus labored to address this crisis, arguing for dialogue, understanding, clarity, and truth. When he sailed to New York, in March 1946--for his first and only visit to the United States--he found an ebullient nation celebrating victory. Camus warned against the common postwar complacency that took false comfort in the fact that Hitler was dead and the Third Reich had fallen. Yes, the serpentine beast was dead, but "we know perfectly well," he argued, "that the venom is not gone, that each of us carries it in our own hearts." All around him in the postwar world, Camus saw disheartening evidence of a global community revealing a heightened indifference to a number of societal ills. It is the same indifference to human suffering that we see all around, and within ourselves, today. Camus's voice speaks like few others to the heart of an affliction that infects our country and our world, a world divided against itself. His generation called him "the conscience of Europe." That same voice speaks to us and our world today with a moral integrity and eloquence so sorely lacking in the public arena. Few authors, sixty years after their deaths, have more avid readers, across more continents, than Albert Camus. Camus has never been a trend, a fad, or just a good read. He was always and still is a companion, a guide, a challenge, and a light in darkened times. This keenly insightful story of an intellectual is an ideal volume for those readers who are first discovering Camus, as well as a penetrating exploration of the author for all those who imagine they have already plumbed Camus' depths--a supremely timely book on an author whose time has come once again.Shipping Notes

Small but durable
The bag is alot smaller than I anticipated it to be, and the color is not as vibrant as expected as well. The adjustable strap extends the bag to about hip level. It's pretty sturdy and the side pockets are very convenient. The zipper is a little weird, because when zipped the end sides of if the zipper don't connect with the bag, leaving small openings for items to fall out if the bag is on its side.

Awesome bag!
Color: I19004-coffee
Great bag, so hard to find a good leather bag nowadays. This is it! Love the color, the pockets and the length of the strap. It allows me to use as a cross body with ease.

Smaller then you think!
Color: Dark Brown
This purse is GORGEOUS!
I just wished it was bigger. I guess that’s my fault for not paying attention to the measurements.
Even in the pictures with the models it looked bigger
Not enough room for me so I sent it back

Shipping department dropped the ball
Color: Dark Brown, Color: Dark Brown
I am ashamed that Amazon would claim to be an outfit that deals in luxury bags. The packaging and merchandise handlers really dropped the ball. The purse was very nice and well made. ( with the exception of the long strap 👎 ) it’s a shame this bag was tossed in the box that way I received this leather bag it was all wadded up and wrinkled in all the wrong places such as a huge wrinkle across the bottom. $139. For a bag that’s looks like it’s been in the corner of someone’s closet for months or maybe like the UPS truck ran over it. Not cool. Luxurious expensive merchandise you would expect at least a little care and packaging and handling. Disappointed

Absolutely soft leather
Color: Coffee
I ordered the coffee color, absolutely love it.Super soft- I have ordered brands that cost 4xs as much & returned because of stiff leather. The zippers simply glide.I love all the different zipper pockets, I like having a place for everything, my phone fits perfectly in the back side zipper area. The front magnetic for my key fob.Zipper above to get out quick cash.I had a hard time deciding which color I wanted! It's roomy enough inside but not too big where Im going to carry things I dont need. It's nice having 2 straps to trade out- im starting with the guitar strap- like that it is adjustable straps & on swivel hooks.And you can really smell the genuine leather. For my preference I would have liked it to have been 2 to 3 inches shorter height wise as I was looking to replace a few bags I used when flying but this is perfect for an everyday crossbody.This bag looks very well made. Nothing fancy on the inside. Plan on searching for this brand in smaller size and some soft colors for spring & summer.
