Camus, son of France in Algeria
View through CrossRef
Abstract
To grasp fully and appreciate Camus’s achievements and the ambiguity of his works, it is important to consider the historical situation that shaped his formative years. Albert Camus (1913–60) was a French citizen born in Algeria. He would live there from his birth until the middle of the Second World War. ‘Camus, son of France in Algeria’ outlines the structure of Algeria under the rule of the French Republic and the early education of Camus and his two major mentors, Louis Germain and Jean Grenier. It also documents his ill-health, unsuccessful first marriage, his early writing, and introduction to politics through membership of the Communist Party.
