Albert Camus
Albert Camus was a French philosopher, author, and journalist born on November 7, 1913, in Mondovi, Algeria. A prominent figure in 20th-century literature, he is best known for his works that explore themes of absurdism and existentialism, including 'The Stranger' and 'The Myth of Sisyphus.' Camus received the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1957 for his significant contribution to literature and thought. His experiences in Algeria, particularly during World War II, deeply influenced his writing and philosophical outlook. Camus's legacy endures as he remains a central figure in discussions of morality, meaning, and the human condition.
