The stories of Exile and the Kingdom explore the dilemma of being an outsider -
even in one's own country - and of allegiance. With intense power and lyricism,
Camus evokes beautiful but harsh landscapes, whether the shimmering deserts of
his native Algeria or the wild, mysterious jungles of Brazil.
Here a Frenchwoman is gradually seduced by the sheer difference of North Africa,
a mutilated renegade is driven mad by the cruelty of his own people, and a
barrel-maker watches the slow decline of his craft. A kindly teacher must choose
between the law and a life, while a modest painter is out of his depth in the
hypocrisy of the art world, and a French engineer discovers a new sense of
belonging in a distant land.
