内容説明
Analyzing Camus' complete works from his earliest essays to his posthumous novel ""The First Man"" (published in English in 1996), this book explores Camus' evolution as a writer through those questions of love and sexuality that engaged him deeply throughout his life. Combining biographical material with literary and psychological analysis, Anthony Rizzuto focuses on Camus' distinctions between love and sex alongside his evolving concepts of masculinity and femininity, the role of women in society, the relationships between sexuality and social class, his attempts to write love scenes, and above all his complex relationship with his mother, who figures prominently in his work. He brings together Camus' diverse and often disturbing depiction of love relationships and creates a picture of Camus as an artist and a man struggling to understand the implications of his ideas and his own erotic behaviour. In the course of his career, Camus gradually realized that his praise of sex often masked a fundamental inability to love. Sensing nihilism and emptiness within his culture and himself, he discovered a sick and discontented civilization ""dying"" for lack of love. This work should create interest not only among admirers of Camus but also in areas of literary criticism, philosophy, psychoanalysis, and culture and gender studies.
