Create dangerously, paperback/albert camus

Description To create today means to create dangerously.

Every publication is a deliberate act, and that act makes us vulnerable to the passions of a century that forgives nothing.

In 1957, Nobel Prize-winning philosopher Albert Camus gave a speech entitled Create Dangerously, effectively a call to arms for artists, in particular those who came from an immigrant background, like he did.

Camus understood the necessity of those making art as a part of civil society.

A bold cry for artistic freedom and responsibility, his words today remain as timely as ever.

In this new translation, Camuss message, available as a stand-alone little book for the first time, will resonate with a new generation of writers and artists.
