Description

Albert Camus was a literary giant of the 20th century, known for his philosophy of absurdity in the human quest for the meaning of life.  His personal life and North African roots helped shape his writing. 

In philosophy circles, many called him a prominent voice of existentialism, but Camus distanced himself from the movement. In hindsight, was he a brave man of unwavering principle or a man whose principles lacked adequate bravery.
