Books by Albert Camus

Albert Camus (1913–1960) was a French-Algerian author, philosopher, and journalist who won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1957. His major works include The Stranger (1942), The Plague (1947), The Fall (1956), and the philosophical essay The Myth of Sisyphus (1942). Camus developed the concept of the absurd and was associated with French existentialism, though he rejected the label. The Fall, published in 1956, was his last completed novel. He died in a car accident four years later, leaving an unfinished novel, The First Man, in the wreckage.
