I have cleaned up this article to some extent, making it conform more to the appropriate format, but this really needs extra editting from someone who has read the book, and understands the themes. Some of the grammar in this article is confusing, and it isn't quite clear what is being said, for example, in the third paragraph, I am unsure precisely which 'ideas' Camus has supposedly 'rejected'.

Don't forget to add "The Rebel" the tv series from 1959.
[edit] revisions
I'm reading this book right now, and have started revising the page. The revisions are considerable, partially to remove the 'book-report' feel that the previous version had.
One thing I have removed that I'm not sure about is the claim that Camus misrepresents 'to some extent' the philosophy of Max Stirner. I'm working on getting a copy of The Ego and Its Own but haven't had luck yet. Can someone provide a citation/more information about this? --Andymussell 02:07, 17 December 2005 (UTC)
I'm not sure if I want to rewrite this entry, and infact, have never posted to Wiki. However, this page is quite shallow, and by extension, inaccurate. Several major themes are not mentioned, and the main theme (that of rebellion) is poorly described. Based on the current content, Andymussell was right to remove the Stirner comment. Camus does criticize Striner in 'the Rebel', but whether or not it is misrepresentation is a complex matter that has no place in a 100 word summary of the book. If I have time I will attempt to add/edit the page.
I thoroughly agree that this entry is very shallow; any help you can give to deepen it is appreciated. I've tracked down a copy of Stirner's work and am reading it currently.--Andymussell 01:52, 6 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Literal translation of title
I removed a note about 'The man in revolt' being perhaps a more literal translation of the title as I could find no evidence for it. 'Révolté' is a French adjective meaning 'rebellious' or 'outraged', so it seems a more literal translation ought to be "The rebellious man", which is in effect the same as the actual title "The Rebel".

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Rebelcamus.jpg
Image:Rebelcamus.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
