Synopsis
The Nobel Prize winner’s most influential and enduring personal writings, newly edited and introduced by acclaimed writer and Camus scholar Alice Kaplan
ALBERT CAMUS (1913–1960) is unsurpassed among writers for a body of work that animates the wonder
and absurdity of existence. Personal Writings brings together, for the first time, thematically linked essays from across
Camus’s writing career that reflect the scope and depth of his interior life. Grappling with an indifferent mother
and an impoverished childhood in Algeria, an ever-present sense of exile, and an ongoing search for equilibrium,
Camus’s personal essays shed new light on the emotional and experiential foundations of his philosophical thought
and humanize his most celebrated works.
