Vauban Books is dedicated to challenging the ideological curation of contemporary European – and, especially, French – writing in translation. Too often, important voices are suppressed for not aligning with dominant narratives. By making these voices available in translation, we hope to foster open debate and a more nuanced and complex view of Europe’s current socio-political landscape.
“The liberal doctrine did not make its historical entrance like a thunderclap disrupting a serene sky. Its inner logic acquires its full meaning only once it is understood as part of the Western modernizing project and the questions that define it. Not only is liberalism inseparable from this project; it is, in truth, its only coherent theoretical elaboration.”(Jean-Claude Michéa)

“This is an elegant translation of a graceful French stylist, who makes provocative points with great care. The judicious introduction to this volume helps give a context to Camus' thoughts about the state of cultural and political affairs in France and Western Europe.”
