📝 Description

"The Myth of Sisyphus" by Albert Camus is a philosophical essay that explores the concept of the absurd and the human search for meaning in a meaningless world. Camus uses the myth of Sisyphus, who is condemned to eternally roll a boulder up a hill only to have it roll back down, as a metaphor for the human condition. The essay challenges readers to confront the absurdity of life and to find meaning in rebellion and acceptance.

💬 Quote Context
