Synopsis "El Derecho a no Mentir (in Spanish)"

Camus toma la palabra.

Todos susdiscursos y conferencias (1936 y 1958), ensu mayor¡a inditos en castellano.

®La libertad que debemos conquistar esel derecho a no mentir. Solo con estacondici¢n tendremos razones para vivir ymorir¯.

Esta es la edici¢n definitiva de los treinta ycuatro discursos p£blicos y conferencias que pronunci¢ Albert Camusentre 1936 y 1958, en su gran mayor¡a inditos en castellano hastahoy. Pese a que l afirm¢ no sentirse un conferenciante ni se cre¡alegitimado para iluminar a una audiencia sobre ning£n tema, estostextos son de vital importancia e inters para la historia delpensamiento europeo.

El derecho a no mentir recoge desde un discurso sobre la cultura mediterr nea que dio cuando soloten¡a veintitrs a¤os hasta sus £ltimas y apasionadas charlas, entreellas la de aceptaci¢n del Premio Nobel y su emocionante ®Lo que ledebo a Espa¤a¯. En plena guerra y en los a¤os posteriores, Camus tom¢la palabra en medio de lo que l llam¢ la ®Crisis del Hombre¯, movidopor su compromiso humanista y preocupado por el destino com£n. Estelibro es una maravillosa muestra de la claridad y la sutileza de Camus y de su defensa irrevocable de la libertad individual, la justiciasocial y la no violencia.

La cr¡tica ha dicho:

®ComoCamus demostr¢, podemos luchar por decir la verdad. Camus es unareferencia para nuestra profesi¢n porque siempre dijo y escribi¢ loque pensaba. Era un intelectual con ideas, pero nunca permiti¢ que suconcepci¢n del mundo alterara la observaci¢n de losacontecimientos¯.

Pedro Garc¡a Cuartango, El Mundo

®Basta leerlo de verdad para que cobre voz e irrumpa en elpresente, con la misma entonaci¢n apasionada que si lo que leemosacabara de escribirse, con una claridad que ha resistido limpiamenteel paso del tiempo. Ser claro, para Camus, igual que para Orwell, erauna exigencia a la vez esttica y pol¡tica¯.

Antonio Mu¤ozMolina, El Pa¡s

®Cincuenta a¤os despus de su muerte,sus conferencias siguen siendo, a diferencia de tantos otros, modelosde claridad y perspicacia. Su bello estilo encierra su nerviohumanista. Camus es un hombre que, pol¡ticamente, no cometi¢errores¯.

Philippe Lanon, Libration

Albert Camus (Mondovi, Algeria, November 7, 1913 – France, January 4, 1960) was a French novelist, essayist, and philosopher, whose career established him as a key figure in twentieth-century thought and literature. His childhood, marked by humility and the Algerian colonial environment, deeply influenced his worldview and literary style. After studying philosophy in Algiers, he moved to France, where he developed a prolific career in both journalism and literature.
Camus is the author of emblematic titles such as The Stranger, The Plague, The Fall, and The Myth of Sisyphus, works that explore the human condition, freedom, and the search for meaning in the face of absurdity. Although often linked to existentialism, he himself rejected this label, moving between humanism and his own philosophical stances. In 1957, he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature, a recognition he received as one of the youngest authors in the history of the award.

Camus's career has been celebrated for his ability to address ethical and existential questions through direct and reflective prose, connecting with generations of readers around the world. His legacy remains relevant, and his works continue to be the subject of study, analysis, and debate. Camus's life was tragically cut short in a traffic accident, but his thought and literature maintain a constant influence on contemporary culture.
