About the book
Written when execution by guillotine was still legal in France, Albert Camus' devastating attack on the 'obscene exhibition' of capital punishment remains one of the most powerful, persuasive arguments ever made against the death penalty.
GREAT IDEAS. Throughout history, some books have changed the world. They have transformed the way we see ourselves - and each other. They have inspired debate, dissent, war and revolution. They have enlightened, outraged, provoked and comforted. They have enriched lives - and destroyed them. Now Penguin brings you the works of the great thinkers, pioneers, radicals and visionaries whose ideas shook civilization and helped make us who we are.
Mbi librin
Albert Camus luftoi kundër dënimit me vdekje, duke bërë thirrje për mëshirë edhe për një bashkëpunëtor të njohur të nazizmit i cili në fakt, u dënua dhe u ekzekutua nga qeveria franceze e pasluftës së Dytë Botërore. Ky është traktati politik i Camus, luftëtarit të rezistencës anti-naziste, në mbrojtje të asaj që më vonë u bë ndoshta elementi më i rëndësishëm i qytetërimit tonë, ndalimit të dënimit me vdekje.
