Les Justes

Albert Camus's play *The Just Assassins* was written in 1949. The story takes place in Moscow in 1905 and is inspired by real events. It depicts a group of socialist revolutionaries planning an assassination attempt against Grand Duke Sergei, a member of the Russian royal family. The main characters, torn between their ideals and the reality of the act they are about to commit, embody the moral and political dilemmas of the era.

The play explores the themes of political violence, revolution, loyalty, and guilt. Camus questions the justice of acts of terrorism and the necessity of violence to achieve a political ideal.

The Righteous is a complex work that invites reflection on morality and the consequences of radical political action.
