Albert Camus

Albert Camus (November 7, 1913, until January 4, 1960) was a French philosopher, essayist, and journalist. At the age of 44, he received the Nobel Prize in Literature, making him the second-youngest winner in history. The Stranger, The Plague, The Myth of Sisyphus, The Fall, and The Rebel are among his famous works.

After Globe War II, Albert Camus became the voice of his generation and the mentor of the next, not just in France, but also in Europe and finally the world, as a writer and dramatist, moralist and political theorist. His works, which primarily dealt with man's isolation in an alien universe, the individual's detachment from himself, the dilemma of evil, and the impending finality of death, accurately mirrored the postwar intellectual's alienation and disappointment. He is regarded as a pioneer of the existential novel, alongside Sartre.
