Camus was born and bred in French Algeria and was killed at the age of 47 in a car accident.
Camus’ mother Catherine was unable to read or write. His grandmother, Catherine Sintes, was a “harsh” woman who regularly used a whip on little Albert and his brother, Lucien.
I found it impressive that though his mother was illiterate Albert won the Nobel Prize for Literature.
Albert’s father, Lucien Auguste Camus, died in World War I before Albert was one year old.
Albert’s wife, Simone Hié, was addicted to drugs and spent her life “in and out of private hospitals and rest homes”.
Already at a young age in school, it was seen that Albert was extremely gifted.
Camus was afflicted with tuberculosis at an early age.
If there is a fault with this biography, it is that it is filled with, in my view, superfluous details; I did not find it particularly easy to read.
The book includes many interesting photos. (
