A window onto one of the most consequential friendships in
philosophical history, that of Sartre and Camus-and on its end.
Iconic French novelist, playwright, and essayist Jean-Paul Sartre
is widely recognized as one of the most important philosophers of
the twentieth century, and his work has remained relevant and
thought-provoking through the decades. The Seagull Sartre Library
now presents some of his most incisive philosophical, cultural, and
literary critical essays in twelve newly designed and affordable
editions. Sartre met Albert Camus in Occupied France in 1943, and
from the start, they were an odd pair: one from the upper reaches
of French society; the other, a pied-noir born into poverty in
Algeria. The love of "freedom," however, quickly bound them in
friendship, while their fight for justice united them politically.
But in 1951 the two writers fell out spectacularly over their
literary and political views, their split a media sensation in
France. This volume holds up a remarkable mirror to that fraught
relationship. It features an early review by Sartre of Camus's The
Stranger; his famous 1952 letter to Camus that begins, "Our
friendship was not easy, but I shall miss it"; and a moving homage
written after Camus's sudden death in 1960.
