Albert Camus: A Study of His Work

155 pp. "Albert Camus' life was cut short by a tragic automobile accident at the height of his creative career. Only 46 at the time of his death, he had already been awarded the Nobel Prize for literature, and his position as one of the major prose writers of the twentieth century had been assured. No contemporary writer had more acutely analyzed the crisis of modern man. He was that fusion of a great literary talent and a truly original mind. Philip Thody here gives an assessment of Camus' accomplishments."
