Is it possible to die a happy death?This is the central question of Camus''s astonishing early novel, published posthumously and greeted as a major literary event. It tells the story of a young Algerian, Mersault, who defies society''s rules by committing a murder and escaping punishment, then experimenting with different ways of life and finally dying a happy man. In many ways <i>A Happy Death</i> is a fascinating first sketch for <i>The Outsider</i>, but it can also be seen as a candid self-portrait, drawing on Camus''s memories of his youth, travels and early relationships. It is infused with lyrical descriptions of the sun-drenched Algiers of his childhood - the place where, eventually, Mersault is able to find peace and die ''without anger, without hatred, without regret''.
