Notă biografică

Albert Camus was born in Algeria in 1913. His childhood was poor, although not unhappy. He studied philosophy at the University of Algiers, and became a journalist as well as organizing theThéâtre de l'équipe, a young avant-garde dramatic group.

His early essays were collected inL'Envers et l'endroit(The Wrong Side and the Right Side) andNoces(Nuptials). He went to Paris, where he worked on the newspaperParis Soirbefore returning to Algeria. His play,Caligula, appeared in 1939. His first two important books,L'Etranger(The Outsider) and the long essayLe Mythe de Sisyphe(The Myth of Sisyphus), were published when he returned to Paris.

After the occupation of France by the Germans in 1941, Camus became one of the intellectual leaders of the Resistance movement. He edited and contributed to the underground newspaperCombat, which he had helped to found. After the war he devoted himself to writing and established an international reputation with such books asLa Peste(The Plague1947),Les Justes(The Just1949) andLa Chute(The Fall; 1956). During the late 1950s Camus renewed his active interest in the theatre, writing and directing stage adaptations of William Faulkner'sRequiem for a Nunand Dostoyevsky'sThe Possessed. He was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1957. He was killed in a road accident in 1960.
