I struggled through the first speech in the book. However, "bread and freedom" felt oddly relevant to the times we are living in. His notes in regards to how we learn hatred - "certain newspapers still indulge in violence and insult. But that is simply still giving in to the enemy". This was a speech given in 1953, 70 years later and his notes are still applicable.
He discusses how wealth can't exist without freedom and, I think a lot of CEOS/ Executives should read this. They need to realise that the lifestyle they see themselves worthy of, cannot exist without the working class people that provide the services within that lifestyle.

i got this for my boyfriend because he’s an aspiring writer (i’m not artistic in any way) and i found it inspiring in regards to being proud of what you bring into the world and to not be disheartened if what you create isn’t met with acceptance since it’s ones attempt to contribute to culture.

This is no. 17 in Penguin's new little modern classics series, one I bought purely because I thought that the title sounded perfect for Camp NaNoWriMo. The book is a collection of three essays, though I have a suspicion that one may be a speech, Create Dangerously, Defend Intellingens, and Bread and Freedom. Overall I quite liked it, and found my first experience of Camus to be a pleasant one. Create Dangerously was my favourite as it was the one that was most focused on art, while the other two started much closer to politics, but it was a nice little taster.
