Decades after his death, Albert Camus (1913-60) is still regarded as one of the most influential and fascinating intellectuals of the twentieth century. This biography by Stephen Eric Bronner explores the connections between his literary work, his philosophical writings, and his politics. Camus illuminates his impoverished childhood, his existential concerns, his activities in the antifascist resistance, and the controversies in which he was engaged. Beautifully written and incisively argued, this study offers new insights and highlights the contemporary relevance of an extraordinary man.

"A model of a kind of intelligent writing that should be in greater supply. Bronner manages judiciously to combine an appreciation for the strengths of Camus and non-rancorous criticism of his weaknesses.... As a personal and opinionated book, it invites the reader into an engaging and informative dialogue." - American Political Science Review "This concise, lively, and remarkably evenhanded treatmetn of the life and work of Albert Camus weaves together biography, philosophical analysis, and political commentary." - Science & Society "Bronner succeeds in explaining Camus' unique sense of personal responsibility and his lucidity, tolerance, and honesty." - Library Journal"
