Description: Exile and the Kingdom by Albert Camus. New York: Alfred A. Knopf, 1958. 1st American Edition. Third Printing. Translated by Justin O’Brien. Hardcover with dust jacket. Exile and the Kingdom is a collection of six short stories by French writer Albert Camus. The stories were written amid the armed resistance between Algeria and their colonizers, which would later claim over 600,000 lives, displacing thousands more. Many of the stories take place in the deserted, desolate landscape of Camus’ native Algeria, and the emphasis on the isolation and remoteness of this landscape serves as a fitting backdrop to the themes of exile and return, and indeed inclusion and exclusion, throughout.
