A landmark in literary scholarship. This is the best book so far on
Albert Camus and, incidentally, one of the best books on literary
imagination in general. Kim, who has an international reputation as
an expert on Camus, successfully delineates the French writers' imaginative
universe by illuminating the entire body of his work. Kim's reading
presents an exemplary phenomenological analysis of poetic images,
symbols and parables, and bears a testimony to the autonomy and creativity
of human imagination. |
