Albert Camus: A Short Life
Albert Camus’s life began in Algiers in 1913 and ended in a car crash near Paris in 1960.
After being rejected from the École Normale, Camus became a journalist in Algiers and planned his writing career around three concepts: Sisyphus, Prometheus, and Nemesis.
Jonathan Rée explains how Camus’s philosophy differed from that of Jean-Paul Sartre and Simone de Beauvoir.
His most famous novel, L’Étranger, has been misunderstood in the English-speaking world.
This is an extract from 'Conversations in Philosophy' with Jonathan Rée and James Wood.
