Camus' powerful drama 'Caligula' portrays a monstrous emperor who, in destroying everything around him, destroys men, gods and ultimately himself. The other plays here also reveal Camus' deep sense of humanity and powers of descriptions: 'Cross Purpose', portraying a universe in which cruel, inexplicable things happen to innocent and evil alike, and the political works 'The Just and 'The Possessed, which dramatize action and revolt in the name of liberty."
