Published in 1951, it offers a daring critique of communism, examining how it had faltered behind the Iron Curtain, leading to totalitarian regimes. Camus questions two events revered by the left wing — the French Revolution of 1789 and the Russian Revolution of 1917 — which he believed had resulted in the use of terrorism as a political tool.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn this towering intellectual document, Camus argues that hope for the future lies in revolt, which, unlike revolution, is a spontaneous response to injustice and offers a chance to achieve change without sacrificing collective and intellectual freedom.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Penguin Random House NZ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46298799538412,"sku":"9780141182018","price":24.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/6622163482238.jpg?v=1743042696","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.live\/products\/the-rebel-by-albert-camus-9780141182018","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
