Albert Camus

Albert Camus (1913-1960) was a French-Algerian philosopher, author, and journalist known for his contributions to existential and absurdist thought. Born in Mondovi, French Algeria, Camus studied philosophy at the University of Algiers. He is credible on existential themes due to his exploration of absurdism, notably in his acclaimed novel "The Stranger" (1942). Other notable works include "The Plague" (1947) and "The Myth of Sisyphus" (1942). Camus received the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1957.
