In brand new translations by Ryan Bloom, four theatrical masterpieces from the Nobel Prizewinning author of The Outsider and The Plague are brought together for the first time in English, alongside deleted scenes and alternate lines of dialogueCaligula/The Misunderstanding /State of Emergency/The JustAlthough renowned for his novels, Albert Camus described the theatre as one of the only places in the world Im happy, and staged the four plays gathered in this collection in Paris between 194449. Caligula, his first fulllength dramatic work, portrays the monstrous emperor who destroys men, gods and ultimately himself. Here too are The Misunderstanding, a murderous tangle of longing State of Emergency, where The Plague appears as a central character and The Just, which explores the limits of political conviction. This new translation brings together Camuss final versions of the plays, along with deleted scenes and alternate lines of dialogue.
