| | Albert Camus [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy] |
 | | Camus himself described his hero as a man “obsessed with the impossible” and willing to pervert all values and if necessary destroy himself and all those around him in the pursuit of absolute liberty. | | | Camus’ reputation rests largely on the three novels published during his lifetime (The Stranger, The Plague, and The Fall) and on his two major philosophical essays (The Myth of Sisyphus and The Rebel). | | | By his own definition then Camus is a philosophical writer in the sense that he has (a) conceived his own distinctive and original world-view and (b) sought to convey that view mainly through images, fictional characters and events, and dramatic presentation rather than through critical analysis and direct discourse. |

| | Albert Camus - Philosopher and Novelist - Biography |
| | In 1949 Camus had a relapse of his tuberculosis, and he locked himself in seclusion to write. | | | He was not comfortable with the moral indifference necessarily implied by philosophical absurdism, and his political history and experiences in occupied France led him to search for a way to address moral responsibility. | | | When he recovered in 1951 he published L'Homme Révolté (The Rebel), a text on artistic, historical, and metaphysical rebellion, in which he lays out the difference between revolution and revolt. |

| | Camus was to be forgiven, but he did not forgive. | | | Camus' characterization is of a man dedicated to political change, but not through blind or senseless violence. | | | As discussed in the introduction to the commentaries, Camus tended to use Algerian settings for his works, or he would favor symbols of his Algerian youth, such as the sun and open ocean. |

| | Camus was later mentored by his lycée philosophy professor, Jean Grenier, who exposed Camus to the writers that would become seminal influences, such as Plato, Pascal, Kierkegaard, and Nietzsche. | | | Rather than making him bitter, the poverty of Camus' early years developed a sense of sympathy with all mankind that would later express itself in his literary work and political activism. | | | A formerly successful and well liked Parisian lawyer waylays an unnamed traveler in Amsterdam to confess his descent into callous duplicity precipitated by hearing a woman's suicidal jump into a river and doing nothing to rescue her. |

| | GradeSaver: ClassicNote: Biography of Albert Camus |
| | In 1938, Camus becomes a journalist at Alger-Republicain and meets the influential Pascal Pia, who teaches him the craft of journalism. | | | The philosophy of moralism he formulates leads to his ideas of the absurd, a state which can only exist if God is absent. | | | Amazingly, a year later Camus not only revives Caligula and publishes Exile and the Kingdom and "Reflections on the Guillotine", but he wins the Nobel Prize for literature. |

| | Sure, Camus inserts a lot of angst-ridden, "life's a tale told by an idiot, signifying nothing," passages, but it's clear by the context that he is parodying himself and his "compatriotes." This is an intentional shaggy-dog story. | | | Elegantly styled, Camus' profoundly disturbing novel of a Parisian lawyer's confessions is a searing study of modern amorality. | | | Camus is practically yelling at the reader, telling him not to take anything the narrator says at face value: "You, for instance, , stop and think what your sign would be. |

| | Camus found, however, that neither his own temperament nor his experiences in occupied France allowed him to be satisfied with such total moral neutrality. | | | In these works Camus explored contemporary nihilism with considerable sympathy, but his own attitude toward the "absurd" remained ambivalent. | | | He also published a third novel, The Fall (1956; Eng. |

| | Camus and Sartre: The Story of a Friendship and the Quarrel that Ended It |
| | Camus gave no indication of knowing that the novelist was also a philosopher who had already published a book on the imagination in 1936 and a long article entitled "The Transcendence of the Ego" the following year. | | | By the end of the book he was poised to follow his philosophy's implications, as he did over the next several years, into virtually every aspect of existence—from daily life and politics to ethics, artistic creation, and the nature of knowledge. | | | Discovering Camus only weeks after sending off the completed manuscript of Being and Nothingness, he was moved to devote a generous, detailed, 6,000-word essay to The Stranger. |

Camus compares the absurdity of the existence of humanity to the labours of the mythical character Sisyphus, who was condemned through all eternity to push a boulder to the top of a hill and watch helplessly as it rolled down again. | | | From 1938 to 1940 Camus worked for the Alger-Républicain and in 1940 for Paris-Soir. | | | Among his major works in the late-1950s are LA CHUTE (1956), an ironic novel in which the penitent judge Jean-Baptiste Clamence confesses his own moral crimes. |

| | A possible academic career was cut short by an attack of tuberculosis, so Camus instead furthered his literary interests. | | | The plays Le Malentendu/Cross Purpose and Caligula (both 1944), and the novel L'Etranger (‘the study of an absurd man in an absurd world’) explore various aspects of ‘the Absurd’, while Le Mythe de Sisyphe is a philosophical treatment of the same concept. | | | His works, such as the novels L'Etranger/The Outsider (1942) and La Peste/The Plague (1948), owe much to existentialism in their emphasis on the absurdity and arbitrariness of life. |
