Albert Camus

Nobel Prize-winning French philosopher and novelist of the Absurd and moral defiance

Bleached Mediterranean horizons, existential indifference and courageous moral clarity define the enduring literature of Albert Camus. Born in French Algeria in 1913 into working-class poverty, Camus worked as a journalist and French Resistance editor, forging a philosophy of the Absurd that urged defiance in the face of a meaningless universe. Landmark works like The Stranger, The Plague, The Fall and his philosophical essay The Myth of Sisyphus examine human solidarity, rebellion and the ethics of revolt. Camus was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1957 at just forty-four. Readers seeking his lucid prose and piercing moral philosophy should start with The Stranger or The Plague.
