The first novel from the Nobel Prize-winning author lays the foundation for The Stranger, telling the story of an Algerian clerk who kills a man in cold blood.

In A Happy Death, written when Albert Camus was in his early twenties and retrieved from his private papers following his death in 1960, revealed himself to an extent that he never would in his later fiction. For if A Happy Death is the study of a rule-bound being shattering the fetters of his existence, it is also a remarkably candid portrait of its author as a young man.

As the novel follows the protagonist, Patrice Mersault, to his victim's house -- and then, fleeing, in a journey that takes him through stages of exile, hedonism, privation, and death -it gives us a glimpse into the imagination of one of the great writers of the twentieth century. For here is the young Camus himself, in love with the sea and sun, enraptured by women yet disdainful of romantic love, and already formulating the philosophy of action and moral responsibility that would make him central to the thought of our time.

Overall, it’s a great everyday case that looks good and does exactly what you need it to do.
Color: 1-Navy Blue
I really like this iPad case. It’s super lightweight but still feels protective, and the clear back gives it a clean, modern look. It snapped on easily and fits perfectly, with all the buttons and Touch ID working just like they should. Overall, it’s a great everyday case that looks good and does exactly what you need it to do.

Fantastic purchase
Size: X-Large, Color: Peacockblue
Bought two sets of the large and extra large backpacks in peacock blue for two traveling for an 8 day island vacation out of the country. No problems with size with American Airlines. The storage capacity was fantastic with room to spare for selected purchases to bring back. Color and fabric beautiful. Padded handle and straps comfortable. Well made with functional, easy to access compartments. Combined purchase with vacuum bags which I'm surprised helped greatly, as well as Gorpuire small foldable hand truck dolly which made transport super easy and when folded, easily fit into the front of the Xtra large bag. Unbelieveable value for the price point on all items. Wish I had taken pictures. LOVE this purchase and may not have to check bags in the future. More stars if I could!

Perfect travel bag
Size: Large, Color: Black
I ordered this for work travel and have used it for several months now. It is the perfect bag. The shoulder straps are comfortable. It can fit a lot of clothing and books and my laptop. My only suggestion is that it has the laptop sleeve on the front which makes it tip forward / front heavy. It would be better placed at the back. I have TSA precheck so I don't have to take my laptop out, so I pack it inside at the back rather than using the laptop sleeve at the front. But other than that, the price is great. The color options are great and the size is perfect. It slides nicely over my roller suitcase handle and I've never had an issue on an airplane with fit.

Cute, lightweight and so roomy!
Size: Large, Color: Amourpink, Size: Large, Color: Amourpink
I am honestly so impressed with this backpack! It is the perfect mix of cute, comfy, and practical. The soft blush pink color is beautiful in person and gives it such a clean, stylish look without being flashy. What surprised me most is how spacious it is. It holds SO much more than it looks like it would. I was able to fit all my travel essentials inside with room to spare, and the different compartments make it easy to stay organized. The side pockets are super convenient, and I love that it slides right onto my suitcase handle for traveling. The straps are also really comfortable and padded, so even when the bag is full it still feels easy to carry. The material feels lightweight but durable, which makes it perfect for travel, work, day trips, or even everyday use. If you want a backpack that is both functional and aesthetically pleasing, this one is definitely worth it. Cute, cozy-looking, lightweight, and surprisingly roomy!
