He nevertheless persevered and received his BA in 1935 and followed with an MA in 1936. He joined the French Communist Party in 1935 and then joined the Algerian People's Party which led to his expulsion by the communists. He would later become a fervent anarchist. From 1937 to 1939, he worked as a journalist for the Alger-Republicain newspaper, and from 1939 to 1940 for the Soir-Republicain.

In 1940, he began working for Paris-Soir magazine. Disillusioned by the German occupation, he moved to Bordeaux. There he published his first novel, The Stranger (1942), which was well-received. He joined the French Resistance and became editor of their journal Combat. He met and became good friends at this time, with Jean-Paul Sartre, but Camus' anti-communist stance eventually led to their split.

From 1949 to 1950, Camus secluded himself because of a recurrence of his TB, but the following year he published The Rebel. Camus was active in human rights issues during the 1950's.

He was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1957. Camus and his publisher, Michel Gallimand, were killed in an auto accident. Camus was only 46. His other works include Caligula (1938), The Myth of Sisyphus (1942), The Plague (1947), The State of Siege (1948), The Fall (1956), Reflection on the Guillotine (1957), Exile and the Kingdom (1957), The Possessed (1959) and A Happy Death (1971 Posthumous).

53 MB Format: PDF, ePub Download: 731 Read: 1322 Adopting an interdisciplinary approach, encompassing philosophy, literature, politics and history, John Foley examines the full breadth of Camus' ideas to provide a comprehensive and rigorous study of his political and philosophical thought and a significant contribution to a range of debates current in Camus research. Foley argues that the coherence of Camus' thought can best be understood through a thorough understanding of the concepts of 'the absurd' and 'revolt' as well as the relation between them. This book includes a detailed discussion of Camus' writings for the newspaper 'Combat', a systematic analysis of Camus' discussion of the moral legitimacy of political violence and terrorism, a reassessment of the prevailing postcolonial critique of Camus' humanism, and a sustained analysis of Camus' most important and frequently neglected work, 'L'Homme revolte' (The Rebel). Author: Olivier Todd ISBN: 761 Genre: Biography & Autobiography File Size: 76. 32 MB Format: PDF, ePub, Docs Download: 138 Read: 1241 In this enormously engaging, vibrant, and richly researched biography of Albert Camus, the French writer and journalist Olivier Todd has drawn on personal correspondence, notebooks, and public records never before tapped, as well as interviews with Camus's family, friends, fellow workers, writers, mentors, and lovers. Todd shows us a Camus who struggled all his life with irreconcilable conflicts--between his loyalty to family and his passionate nature, between the call to political action and the integrity to his art, between his support of the native Algerians and his identification with the forgotten people, the poor whites. A very private man, Camus could be charming and prickly, sincere and theatrical, genuinely humble, yet full of great ambition.
