Book Description
Islands, some of Grenier's most lovingly written and personal philosophical speculations, was first published in an edition of five essays in 1933. The revised edition, with six essays, was published with a preface by Albert Camus in 1948; the third edition, upon which this translation is based, was published in 1959. Grenier's memoir of his cat Mouloud is also an essay on the nature of death; a series of childhood memories becomes the basis for an essay on his attraction to the void. Everything is connected, as one idea leads to an- other, from author to reader to society at large.
