Penguin have taken their liberties in making unnecessary edits of this book. As they excuse themselves: "Unfortunately in the interest of economy certain pages relating to some of these figures have been deleted in the English edition." On pages 198 - 199 there's a supposed quote from Lenin's lecture 'The State' of which the first two sentences are authentic, and the remainder are Camus's sarcastic commentary on them. This distinction is not visible in the Penguin edition. These are just 2 examples. I give this book 1 star. Not because of Camus', whose writing would deserve far better, but because of Penguin's editing. Buy another edition!
