«Les Justes» is the five-act play by Albert Camus, published by Editions Gallimard in paperback (220 pages, in French).
Set in Moscow in 1905, the play is based on a real episode: a group of revolutionary socialists prepares an assassination attempt against Grand Duke Serge, the tsar's uncle. The characters, with different positions, debate the price of political violence and its moral dilemmas, in a reflection on justice, revolution, and the human condition.
The play was originally published in 1949; this 2008 edition belongs to the Folio Théâtre collection, with editing and notes by Pierre-Louis Rey.
For readers of classic theatre and French literature, and for those studying Albert Camus in school or academic settings.
