Summary
Summary
The Nobel Prize winner’s most influential and enduring personal writings, newly edited and introduced by acclaimed writer and Camus scholar Alice Kaplan ALBERT CAMUS (1913–1960) is unsurpassed among writers for a body of work that animates the wonder and absurdity of existence. Personal Writings brings together, for the first time, thematically linked essays from across Camus’s writing career that reflect the scope and depth of his interior life. Grappling with an indifferent mother and an impoverished childhood in Algeria, an ever-present sense of exile, and an ongoing search for equilibrium, Camus’s personal essays shed new light on the emotional and experiential foundations of his philosophical thought and humanize his most celebrated works.Author
Author Bio: Albert Camus
Albert Camus (1913–1960) was a French philosopher, author, and journalist who won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1957. His 1942 book The Stranger is one of the most widely read novels of the twentieth century. His views contributed to the rise of the philosophy known as absurdism. He wrote in his essay The Rebel that his whole life was devoted to opposing the philosophy of nihilism while still delving deeply into individual freedom.
