The Happy Death, or L'heureux Mort, is an early novel by Albert Camus, exploring themes of existentialism, the meaning of happiness, and the acceptance of death. It follows the protagonist, Patrice Mersault, as he seeks to define his own happiness and find a way to live authentically in a world often perceived as absurd and meaningless. The novel provides an early glimpse into the philosophical ideas that would later be more fully developed in Camus's later works like The Stranger and The Myth of Sisyphus.
