SynopsisWinner of the Nobel Prize for literature in 1957, Albert Camus remains an important writer in the later 20th century not only because of his literary innovations, but also because of his political acuity. Before his un-timely death in an automobile accident at age 46, Camus had achieved fame not only as a major innovator in prose style for his ground-breaking novels The Stanger, The Plague, and The Fall but also as dramatic author Caligula philosophical essayist The Myth of Sisyphus, The Rebel, and political journalist Actuelles.
