'It was the discovery of the essays celebrating his childhood and
youth that altered my perception of Camus, from a thinker to a
writer whose intellectual lucidity was a product of the wealth -
the sensual immediacy and clarity - that had been heaped on his
senses' Geoff Dyer Albert Camus was born in a 'world of poverty and
sunshine' in Algeria, which would infuse all of his work. This new
collection brings together three volumes of Camus' most intimate
autobiographical writings for the first time. The Wrong Side and
the Right Side, his first book, describes his family and his early
years in a working-class neighbourhood. Nuptials rejoices in the
sensuality of sun, landscape and sea, while Summer ranges over the
cities of Algiers and Oran, nature and identity. Lyrical and
emotional, these pieces enrich our understanding of Camus and his
love of life.
