Camus Paperback – 11 April 2015

Purchase options and add-ons.

Essential reading for old fans and new admirers of Albert Camus' classic quarantine novel THE PLAGUE - a new bestseller amidst the coronavirus pandemic. ' Brilliant .' The Times ' Joyous ... A unique critical talent. ' TLS Albert Camus is one of the most famous French writers of the twentieth century, a Nobel Laureate celebrated for his classic existentialist novel The Outsider and urgently relevant allegory of a pandemic, The Plague. But what about his controversial attitudes to race , especially his portrayal of Arabs versus Europeans, and French colonialism in Algeria ? As provocative and brilliantly argued as it was in 1970, Conor Cruise O'Brien's Camus is a groundbreaking postcolonial critique which revolutionised how Camus was viewed by a new generation.
