Exile and the Kingdom by Albert Camus.
Across six stories set in North Africa, Paris and Brazil, Albert Camus explores forms of spiritual exile and the search for a place of belonging.
The collection rewards comparison between its different perspectives. It asks whether belonging is something a person discovers in the world or something built through the difficult work of recognizing other people.
Edition notes: The cover represents the Vintage paperback (ISBN 9780307278586). Apple Books offers the English-language ebook (9780307827760). Both use Carol Cosman’s translation.
