Decades after his death, Albert Camus (1913-1960) is still
regarded as one of the most influential and fascinating
intellectuals of the twentieth century. This biography by Stephen
Eric Bronner explores the connections between his literary work,
his philosophical writings, and his politics.
"Camus" illuminates his impoverished childhood, his existential
concerns, his activities in the antifascist resistance, and the
controversies in which he was engaged. Beautifully written and
incisively argued, this study offers new insights--and above
all--highlights the contemporary relevance of an extraordinary
man.
"A model of a kind of intelligent writing that should be in
greater supply. Bronner manages judiciously to combine an
appreciation for the strengths of Camus and nonrancorous criticism
of his weaknesses. . . . As a personal and opinionated book, it
invites the reader into an engaging and informative
dialogue."--"American Political Science Review"
""
"This concise, lively, and remarkably evenhanded treatment of
the life and work of Albert Camus weaves together biography,
philosophical analysis, and political commentary."--"Science &
Society"
