Biographie:
Albert Camus was a French-Algerian Nobel Prize winning author, journalist, and philosopher. His views contributed to the rise of the philosophy known as absurdism. He wrote in his essay 'The Rebel' that his whole life was devoted to opposing the philosophy of nihilism while still delving deeply into individual and sexual freedom. Camus did not consider himself to be an existentialist despite usually being classified as one. In an interview in 1945, Camus rejected any ideological associations: No, I am not an existentialist. Sartre and I are always surprised to see our names linked.... Camus was born in French Algeria to a Pied-Noir family. He studied at the University of Algiers, where he was goalkeeper for the university association football team, until he contracted tuberculosis in 1930. In 1949, Camus founded the Group for International Liaisons within the Revolutionary Union Movement after his split with Garry Davis's Citizens of the World movement. The formation of this group, according to Camus, was intended to denounce two ideologies found in both the USSR and the USA regarding their idolatry of technology.

Born in Mondovi, Algeria, Camus grew up in poverty and faced early hardships, including the loss of his father in World War I. He studied philosophy at the University of Algiers and later became involved in journalism and theater. Camus gained international recognition with works such as The Stranger, The Plague, and The Myth of Sisyphus, where he explored themes of meaninglessness, rebellion, and the human struggle for purpose.

Camus died in a car accident in 1960 at the age of 46, leaving behind a strange legacy as one of the most influential writers and thinkers of the 20th century....
