Albert Camus

Paragon House Publishers, 1987

A Treasure for American Camus-philes

+ more than jottings

Educated Americans share a self-consciousness, a painful awareness that we descendants of mere colonists are probably at best nouveau-riche; in short, that we are not Europeans. Indeed, we struggle to hide our secret gratitude when a European friend--particularly a Frenchman--even shows interest ...

Between Hell and Reason: Essays from the Resistance Newspaper Combat, 1944-19471 review
Albert Camus

Wesleyan, 1991

See where Camus got his ideas for his later work.

I am sad to see no other reviews of this book on Amazon. This is a well written book full of essays written by Albert Camus for the french resistance paper Combat.

Exile and the Kingdom16 reviews
Albert Camus

Vintage, 1991

A Good Selection of Both Solid and Eclectic Works

+ Short stories for philosophers, literature snobs, and lovers of the unusual
+ A gathering of some of Camus' finest short stories

As a point of reference, I have read most of Camus's major works. The present collection is an interesting mixture of six short stories. The stories are more varied than his novels which tend to reflect his philosophy of the absurd. I thought the present stories were among his best works. The story ...
  
  











  



  
Correspondence, 1932-1960
Albert Camus, Jean Grenier

University of Nebraska Press, 2003

As a philosophy teacher, mentor, and friend, Jean Grenier (1898–1971) had an enormous influence on the young Albert Camus (1913–1960), who, in fact, acknowledged that Grenier’s Les Iles had touched the very core of his sensibility and provided him with both a “terrain for reflection, and a format” that he would later use for his own essays. Their correspondence, ...
