First American edition, first printing. [vi], 154, [1] pp. with advertisement page tipped in at front. Bound in publisher's tan cloth with maroon spine lettering and red topstain; lacking dust jacket. Very Good with lean and fading to spine, light waterstaining and scattered foxing to cloth. Minimal soiling and previous owner inscription to front endsheet. Camus' existential novel made a splash when it was translated into English in 1946 -- the New York Times called him "an outstanding leader of the writers who have emerged in France since the war" -- and is now taught in schools worldwide.
