From a variety of masterfully rendered perspectives, these six stories depict people at painful odds with the world around them. A wife can only surrender to a desert night by betraying her husband. An artist struggles to honor his own aspirations as well as society's expectations of him. A missionary brutally converted to the worship of a tribal fetish is left with but an echo of his identity. Whether set in North Africa, Paris, or Brazil, the stories in Exile and the Kingdom are probing portraits of spiritual exile, and man’s perpetual search for an inner kingdom in which to be reborn. They display Camus at the height of his powers.
Now, on the 50th anniversary of the book’s publication, Carol Cosman’s new translation recovers a literary treasure for our time.
Albert Camus won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1957.

斷斷續續讀瞭大半年，很難做到不over interpret但哪怕over interpret瞭還是讀不明白。可能camus還是沒法自己讀的。
评分Exotic but always indigenous to the body and the soul.
评分I like the story about the painter
评分I’ve always shared an abiding belief that human beings are confronted with some sort of existential dilemmas, be them in whatever race, origin or color. This book has touched on that theme so brilliantly. Though isolated or alienated from the outside world, one could always embrace a short-lived joy by surrendering to exile and his/her own kingdom.
